Applications
Nickel chloride hexahydrate is an important inorganic nickel salt with wide industrial and laboratory applications. It is mainly used in electroplating industry as the main raw material for nickel plating solutions, providing stable nickel ion concentration for metal surface coating, improving corrosion resistance, hardness and surface brightness of workpieces. In chemical synthesis, it acts as catalyst and raw material for preparing nickel-based catalysts, nickel complexes and other nickel compound derivatives.
It is also widely used in battery industry for nickel raw material preparation, in printing and dyeing as mordant, and in pharmaceutical, ceramic and electronic material manufacturing fields. In laboratory research, it serves as a common nickel ion reagent for chemical analysis, precipitation reaction and coordination chemistry study.
