• Nickel Oxide Description:

Produced by the controlled oxidation of high purity carbonyl nickel powder. Insoluble in water and soluble in acids

• Nickel Oxide Typical Black NiO (nickelic oxide & nickel sesquioxide) Chemistry:

Ni= 77%, Fe= 0.01% and bal.= O2

• Nickel Oxide Typical Green NiO (nickelous oxide) Chemistry:

Ni= 78.5%, and bal.= O2

• Nickel Oxide Typical Physical Properties Available:

Sintered pieces, targets, and fine powder (10-12 microns)

• Nickel Oxide Nominal Physical Constants:

a) Used as an electrolyte in nickel plating solutions, an oxygen donor in auto emission catalysts, forms nickel molybdate, anodizing aluminum, conductive nickel zinc ferrites, in glass frit for porcelain enamel, thermistors, varistors, cermets, and resistance heating elements.

b) NiO has a variety of specialized applications and generally applications distinguish between "chemical", which is relatively pure material for specialty applications, and "metallurgical grade", which is mainly used for the production of alloys. It is used in the ceramic industry to make frits, ferrites, and porcelain glazes. The sintered oxide is used to produce nickel steel alloys. Charles Édouard Guillaume won the 1920 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on nickel steel alloys which he called invar and elinvar.

c) NiO was also a component in the Nickel-iron battery, also known as the Edison Battery, and is a component in fuel cells. It is the precursor to many nickel salts, for use as specialty chemicals and catalysts. More recently, NiO was used to make the NiCd rechargeable batteries found in many electronic devices until the development of the environmentally superior Lithium Ion battery.

d) About 4,000 tons of chemical grade NiO are produced annually. Black NiO is the precursor to nickel salts, which arise by treatment with mineral acids. NiO is a versatile hydrogenation catalyst.

e) Heating nickel oxide with either hydrogen, carbon, or carbon monoxide reduces it to metallic nickel. It combines with the oxides of sodium and potassium at high temperatures (>700°C) to form the corresponding nickelate. Source: Wikipedia
