Description
Nickel(II) Phosphate Product Overview
Nickel(II) phosphate (Ni3(PO4)2, usually as a hydrate) is a light green powder with about 45–48% nickel. It is insoluble in water, whereas acids dissolve it.
Catalyst producers use nickel phosphate as a precursor for nickel and nickel phosphide catalysts, for example in hydrogenation and hydrotreating. Similarly, energy researchers study nickel phosphates as electrocatalysts for water splitting and as electrode materials for supercapacitors and batteries. Ceramic and glass producers also use it as a nickel source for colors.
Because nickel compounds count in the EU as carcinogenic and sensitizing, Zyntex supplies nickel phosphate only for professional use. Related nickel salts in our range also include Nickel Sulfate and Nickel(II) acetate 4-hydrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is nickel phosphate studied for water splitting?
Because nickel phosphates and phosphides catalyze the oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions efficiently, they offer a lower-cost alternative to precious metals.
Who can purchase nickel phosphate?
Only professional users, because nickel compounds count as carcinogenic and sensitizing.
