Description
Nickel(II) Oxide Black Product Overview
Black nickel oxide is a slightly non-stoichiometric form of NiO with about 75–77% nickel. It is a fine black to dark grey powder that is insoluble in water but dissolves more easily in acids than the green, high-temperature form, which makes it more reactive in chemical processes.
Catalyst producers use it as a precursor for nickel hydrogenation and reforming catalysts, because acids and reduction convert it readily. Similarly, ceramic and glass producers use it as a colorant for grey, brown and green tones, while electronic component producers use it for nickel-zinc ferrites. In solid oxide fuel cells, nickel oxide mixed with stabilized zirconia forms the anode, often with Yttrium (III) oxide.
Because nickel oxide counts in the EU as a carcinogen by inhalation, Zyntex therefore supplies it only for professional use. Related nickel compounds in our range also include Nickel Sulfate and Nickel(II) chloride anhydrous, and the cobalt analogue Cobalt(II) oxide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between black and green nickel oxide?
Black nickel oxide is more reactive and dissolves more easily in acids, whereas green nickel oxide is a denser, high-temperature form used mainly in ceramics.
Who can purchase nickel oxide?
Only professional industrial users, because nickel oxide counts as a carcinogen by inhalation.
