General description

Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate is an ionic compound soluble in water and polar solvents. It is commonly used as a precursor for the synthesis of various nickel oxide and nickel hydroxide nanostructures. These nanostructures have applications in supercapacitors, batteries, and catalysis. Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate is also utilized in the production of nickel-based thin films and coatings through processes such as chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition.

Application

Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate can be:    
  • Used as a precursor material in the hydrothermal synthesis of nanostructured nickel diselenide (NiSe2).     
  • Used as a precursor in the synthesis of the salamo-based dinuclear nickel(II) complex. 
  • Used as a precursor material in the synthesis of nickel oxide (NiO) via sol-gel method. Nickel oxide can be tailored for various applications, including electrochromic devices, gas sensors, and lithium-ion batteries.

Used in synthesis of polynuclear-nickel polyoxotungstate cluster compounds that are ideal for the design of molecular magnets.

Photoresponsive transistor memories that can be erased using light-only bias are of significant interest owing to their convenient elimination of stored data for information delivery. Herein, we suggest a strategy to improve light-erasable organic transistor memories, which enables fast "photoinduced
