Overview of Nickel Hydroxide
Nickel Hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂) is a greenish powder widely used in batteries, catalysts, ceramics, and electroplating. Known for its excellent redox properties, high purity, and chemical stability, it serves as a critical material in rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
In industrial applications, Nickel Hydroxide is valued for consistent particle size, high electrochemical activity, and compatibility with other materials. It is commonly used alongside Nickel Oxide, Nickel Sulfate, and Cobalt Hydroxide, available on ChemicalBull, providing a complete solution for energy storage, electroplating, and specialty chemical manufacturing.
