Description

General description

Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate appears as a green crystalline solid exhibits monoclinic crystal structure. It is highly soluble in water. Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is primarily used as a starting material in the synthesis of other nickel compounds, catalysts, and as a source of nickel ions in chemical reactions. Additionally, it finds applications in electroplating, ceramics, and as a coloring agent in glass manufacturing processes.

Application

Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is a source of Nickel ion for the synthesis of Cathode active materials for Lithium-ion batteries and sodium-ion storage. In general, Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate has been used as precursor materials for the synthesis of electrocatalyst for water splitting reactions and Oxygen Reduction.
Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate can be used as

• As a key component in the development of mesoporous NiCo₂O₄ nanosheets as electrode materials for Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors via microwave method. The NiCo₂O₄ electrodes exhibited a high reversible capacity , good rate capability and stable cycling performance. In addition, the electrode performs superior pseudocapacitive performance and excellent cycling stability in supercapacitors
• To the synthesis of NiCoSe₂@carbon anode for high-performance sodium-ion batteries. The NiCoSe₂@carbon exhibited three-dimensional porous carbon structure demonstrating exceptional electrochemical performance as anode materials in sodium-ion batteries with high specific capacity and superior capacity retention rate
• To the synthesis of electrocatalysts like hollow NiCo₂O₄ microcuboids via hydrothermal method. The hollow NiCo₂O₄ microcuboids ehibits water splitting including oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The superior water splitting activity is due to the structural features of the electrode
• As a main component to synthesis 3D hierarchical nickel–iron–cobalt LDH nanosheets/carbon fibers (NiFeCo-LDH/CF) through solvent-thermal treatment of ZIF-67/CF. The modified electronic structure improve the OER activity for the NiFeCo-LDH catalyst
• In addition, it has been used to synthesis Ce dopped NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrocatalyst directly on a nickel foam (NF) substrate at room temperature using an electrodeposition technique. It is used as a bifunctional catalyst for water splitting with excellent stability up to 40 hours.The enhanced electrochemical performance of the Ce-doped NiFe-LDH electrocatalyst can be attributed to its unique 3D network structure. This structure increases the surface area available for electrochemical reactions, thus enhancing its overall efficiency. Additionally, the doping of cerium (Ce) generates a greater number of active sites within the catalyst, further augmenting its catalytic capabilities. These combined factors contribute to the catalyst′s improved performance in water splitting applications
