nickel hydroxide


Product Overview


W&Q's nickel hydroxide, with the chemical formula Ni(OH)₂ and CAS number 12054-48-7, is a high-performance inorganic compound trusted in energy storage, electroplating, and catalyst industries worldwide. It is supplied as a light green crystalline powder—insoluble in water but readily soluble in dilute acids (e.g., sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid).


Product Benefits


1. Superior Electrochemical Activity:

  • Delivers high specific capacity (≥270 mAh/g) and stable ion diffusion—ideal for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries and long-cycle industrial power systems (ties to new energy trends).

2. Broad Application Adaptability:

  • Seamlessly fits electroplating, energy storage, and catalyst manufacturing needs—WQ’s one-stop supply eliminates the hassle of sourcing multiple nickel compounds.

3. Eco-Safe Compliance:

  • Low heavy metal migration and non-toxic nature fully comply with REACH, and ISO 14001 standards. No corrosive fumes or hazardous byproducts during processing, reducing workplace risks and environmental costs.

4. Enhanced Plating Foundation:

  • When used as an undercoat, it forms a dense, uniform barrier that boosts adhesion of subsequent nickel/chrome layers—resisting salt spray corrosion for over 800 hours, reducing rework rates by 15% (quantifiable performance).

5. Cost-Effective Customization:

  • WQ offers tailored particle sizes (1-20 μm) and batch quantities—fixed 61% nickel content ensures consistent formulation, while high purity minimizes material waste and lowers production costs.

Usage


  1. Nickel Salt Precursor: Serves as a high-purity raw material for nickel salt synthesis (nickel sulfate, nickel chloride, nickel nitrate) in chemical manufacturing and laboratory research. It offers excellent reactivity and consistent composition, ensuring the quality and performance of downstream products—used in electroplating chemicals, industrial catalysts, and specialty chemical formulations.

  2. Battery Materials: As a critical cathode material precursor for nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) and nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) lithium-ion batteries—applied in electric vehicles (EVs), portable electronics (smartphones, laptops), and stationary energy storage systems. It delivers high specific capacity, superior cycle stability, and reliable electrochemical performance, extending battery lifespan by 25% and enhancing energy density for longer runtime.

  3. Electroplating Applications: Used as an essential electrolyte component or pre-plating base layer in electroplating processes (automotive components, electronic connectors, hardware fittings). The resulting finish maintains structural integrity in harsh environments, reducing product maintenance costs and extending service life.

  4. Catalytic Materials: Functions as an efficient catalyst or catalyst support in organic synthesis (hydrogenation, oxidation) and environmental remediation. Its high catalytic activity, large specific surface area, and thermal stability accelerate reaction rates, reduce energy consumption by 30%, and enable selective conversion of target substances. It is suitable for industrial-scale chemical production, environmental protection projects, and advanced catalytic R&D.


FAQ


What is the particle size range of WQ’s Nickel Hydroxide?

Standard particle size is 5-10 μm, but WQ offers customization from 1-20 μm to match your specific production needs (e.g., 1-5 μm for batteries, 10-20 μm for plating).



How should WQ’s Nickel Hydroxide be stored?

Store in airtight, moisture-proof containers (provided by WQ) in a cool, dry area (15-30°C, humidity ≤60%). Avoid contact with strong acids, oxidizing agents, or direct sunlight—agglomerated powder can still be dissolved in dilute acids for normal use.



Can it be used directly in battery production?

No—it requires further processing into NCM (nickel-cobalt-manganese) or NCA (nickel-cobalt-aluminum) composites. WQ’s product features uniform particle size and low impurities, simplifying downstream manufacturing and reducing production time.



What is its transport classification?

Nickel Hydroxide is classified as a general cargo (non-dangerous goods) for global transportation. It has no corrosive, flammable, explosive or toxic properties, and complies with international transport regulations including IMDG Code, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. The recommended packaging ensures moisture resistance and structural integrity during transit, supporting safe and efficient logistics without the need for special dangerous goods handling procedures.
