Application

Used in synthesis of polynuclear-nickel polyoxotungstate cluster compounds that are ideal for the design of molecular magnets.
Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate is used
  • To form a Ni(II) Schiff base complex on magnetic nanoparticles, which serves as a nanocatalyst for producing 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones through a solvent-free Biginelli reaction.
  • Precursor to prepare a nickel-containing solution for decorating CeO₂ nanostructures, resulting in NiO/CeO₂ nanocomposites
  • In the electrospinning synthesis of Ni-decorated carbon nanofibers (Ni-CNFs), for potential applications in magnetic devices, microwave absorbers, supercapacitors, and batteries.

Features and Benefits

  • Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate, 99.995% purity is vital for solar cell performance, as impurities can harm carrier recombination, charge transport, and overall device stability.
  • Analyzing 32 elements at ppm levels, particularly heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and arsenic, ensures optimal performance.

General description

Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate is a high purity coordination compound commonly employed in the synthesis of advanced materials, catalytic systems, and electrochemical devices. With a trace metals purity of 99.995%, it is particularly suited for applications requiring minimal contamination, such as nanostructure fabrication and thin-film deposition. The compound is supplied as crystalline solids or chunks and exhibits good solubility in water and polar organic solvents, facilitating its use in various solution based processes.
