General description

Nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate is a water-soluble inorganic compound. It is a cost-effective compound that finds applications in electroplating, nickel-plating, and as an NH3 absorbent in gas masks.

Application

Nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate can be used as:      
  • A precursor for nickel oxide (NiO) films, which are used as hole transport layers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).     
  • An additive to the electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cells to improve their performance, particularly the open-circuit voltage.
  • An effective dopant for synthesizing conductive polymer composites for potential applications in flexible electronics, and sensors.     
  • A precursor in the synthesis of nickel nanothorn particles via hydrothermal method.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf
