Description

General description

Nickel(II) chloride 98% comes in a powder form and is a highly useful inorganic compound with a broad range of applications across various industries. Its relatively high purity makes it suitable for both industrial and laboratory settings. It is widely used in catalysis, electroplating, battery manufacturing, chemical synthesis, material science, dye and pigment production, and laboratory research.

Application

Nickel(II) chloride is utilized in the manufacturing of nickel-cadmium batteries, serving as a crucial component in the electrochemical reactions occurring within these rechargeable batteries. It is also suitable for use in theR&D activities of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are used in various portable electronic devices and hybrid vehicles. In an experimet it has been found that Ni-NiCl₂ composite cathode increased the output energy by ∼47% when the thermal batteries were used in weapons (working voltage >25 V), with a power density of up to 11.4 kW/kg. It is suitable as a catalyst or reagent in various organic synthesis reactions, such as cross-coupling reactions, amination, and cycloaddition reactions. In an experiment, it has been established that a wide variety of acyclic and cyclic dithioacetals can be prepared chemoselectively from the corresponding aldehydes by employing a catalytic amount of nickel(II) chloride in dry CH₂Cl₂–MeOH (5:1) at room temperature in good yields.[1][2]

Features and Benefits

Some of the major advantages of this product is as a catalyst its high chemoselectivity, ease of operation, high yields, and also compatibility with other protecting groups. The compound′s capacity to aid in advanced material synthesis and promote environmental sustainability further highlights its value across various fields.
The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides such as aluminum chloride (cat. no. 449598) by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Used in the synthesis of semiconducting metal-containing polymers in which the polypyrrole backbone has a conformational energy minimum and is nearly planar.
