Description
Nickel(II) Nitrate Hexahydrate Product Overview
Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate (Ni(NO3)2·6H2O) forms green, deliquescent crystals that dissolve extremely easily in water (about 940 g/L at 20°C). It also contains about 20% nickel and is an oxidizer.
Catalyst producers use it to impregnate alumina and other supports for nickel steam reforming, methanation and hydrogenation catalysts, because the nitrate decomposes cleanly to nickel oxide. Similarly, battery researchers use it as a nickel source for cathode precursors and nickel hydroxide, while ceramic producers use it for colors. Its cobalt analogue is Cobalt(II) Nitrate Hexahydrate.
Because nickel compounds count in the EU as carcinogenic and sensitizing, and the nitrate is also an oxidizer, Zyntex supplies it only for professional use. Other nickel salts in our range also include Nickel Sulfate and Nickel(II) acetate 4-hydrate.
Key Applications of Nickel(II) Nitrate Hexahydrate

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is nickel nitrate used for catalyst preparation?
Because it dissolves easily and decomposes cleanly to nickel oxide, it leaves no sulfate or chloride residues on the catalyst.
Who can purchase nickel nitrate?
Only professional industrial users, because nickel compounds count as carcinogenic and the nitrate is an oxidizer.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
