Description

Nickel(II) Carbonate (Basic) Hydrate, Ni 40% Min, Typically 99.5% (Metals Basis) is a high-purity inorganic salt essential for introducing nickel into various chemical and material synthesis processes. Its controlled basic carbonate form offers superior reactivity and solubility characteristics compared to simple nickel salts, making it a preferred precursor for industrial applications. This product is critical for manufacturers in the catalyst, battery material, and specialty ceramic sectors who require a reliable source of high-grade nickel.

Application

• Catalyst Manufacturing: A key precursor for synthesizing nickel-based catalysts used in hydrogenation, reforming, and methanation reactions within the petrochemical and fine chemical industries.
• Electrode Material Production: Serves as a starting material for the production of nickel oxide and other compounds used in lithium-ion battery cathodes and fuel cell components.
• Ceramics & Pigments: Used in the formulation of specialty glasses, ceramic glazes, and inorganic pigments to impart specific colors and functional properties.
• Electroplating & Surface Treatment: Employed in electrolyte baths for electroplating processes to deposit nickel coatings for corrosion resistance and decorative finishes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile reagent for the preparation of other nickel salts, complexes, and organometallic compounds in research and development.

Quality Control

Our Nickel(II) Carbonate (Basic) Hydrate is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm key parameters including nickel content, impurity profiles, and physical characteristics. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your material specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent caking and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids.
