Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O
Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate, Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O (CAS 13478-00-7, 290.81 g/mol), is a green crystalline soluble nickel salt that dissolves to a Ni²⁺ feed stream with controlled acidity (pH 2-4 at D=1.35, 1-3 at D=1.50). Clean dissolution and the absence of chloride make it the working nickel source where downstream chemistry cannot tolerate halide contamination. In lithium-ion cathode production it is co-precipitated with cobalt and manganese sulfates/nitrates to build NMC hydroxide precursors, so trace Fe, Pb, Na, Cl and Si degrade precursor quality and carry through to cell performance. It also serves as a catalyst precursor and as the nickel salt in decorative and technical electroplating baths, where electrolyte makeup typically runs tens of g/L of dissolved nickel, adjusted to the bath. This grade is held to Ni ≥ 20%, Pb ≤ 10 ppm, Cl/Fe/Na/Mg/S/Si ≤ 50 ppm, Al/Ca ≤ 100 ppm — a battery-precursor-adjacent window verified by ICP-MS. Sourced multi-regionally, every lot ships with COA and MSDS/SDS, CIF Marmara or ex Gebze bonded stock, at container scale (~20 MT FCL) with smaller lots on request.
