Nickel(II) oxide black
Nickel(II) Oxide Black (NiO, CAS 1313-99-1) is a non-stoichiometric inorganic compound. It is widely utilized in the production of fuel cell electrodes, thermistors, and high-durability ceramic glazes.
Description
Comprehensive Product Overview
In the field of advanced material science, the ability to control oxygen vacancies and surface reactivity is a major advantage. Manufacturers specifically select Nickel(II) Oxide Black because it offers superior electrochemical performance compared to the green oxide. For instance, it is a critical component in the production of nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride battery electrodes. Consequently, it facilitates the production of high-capacity energy storage systems. As a result, Zyntex ensures that our industrial-grade Black NiO meets rigorous purity standards, with careful control over transition metal impurities that could affect conductivity.
Moreover, the electronic-grade Nickel(II) Oxide Black from Zyntex is a vital component in the development of NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistors. This application allows for the creation of high-precision temperature sensors. Undoubtedly, this pushes the boundaries of what is possible in modern automotive and industrial thermal management. At the same time, ceramic manufacturers value its role as a powerful coloring agent for deep grey and black glazes. In short, our product serves as a dependable “precision-reagent.” We support companies focusing on both innovative energy technology and high-end industrial aesthetics.
Recently, scientific interest has surged regarding the use of Nickel(II) Oxide Black in the development of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) as an anode material. Researchers apply it in complex laboratory models to study gas-phase oxidation reactions. Because of this, Zyntex offers specialized bulk formats to ensure seamless integration into advanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and sintering processes. Ultimately, you secure a reliable supply partner by choosing Zyntex. We balance material activity with rigorous logistical safety protocols.
