Nickel (II) oxide is a chemical compound of the metal nickel that belongs to the group of oxides .
Occurrence
Of course, nickel (II) oxide occurs as a mineral bunsenite .
Extraction and presentation
It is obtained by intensive calcination of the nitrate (Ni (NO 3 ) 2 ) or carbonate (NiCO 3 ) or by oxidation of red nickel pebbles (NiAs) or pure nickel in the air.
properties
Nickel (II) oxide is a basic oxide. It is antiferromagnetic and is isotype with sodium chloride . The purest NiO is light yellow. A higher oxygen content gives the NiO a green to gray-green color. Darker to black products increasingly contain Ni 3+ . The nickel (II) oxide obtained at high temperatures is almost insoluble in acids and alkalis; the lower the preparation temperature, the more soluble it is, especially in hot nitric acid and ammonia water .
use
Nickel (II) oxide is used to manufacture enamel (as an adhesive), ceramics, glasses (as a coloring agent) and electrodes (for example for lithium-ion batteries ). It also serves as an anode material in fuel cells . It is also used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of organic compounds. It is also an intermediate product for the production of pure nickel (reduction with carbon monoxide ).
safety instructions
Like many other nickel compounds, nickel (II) oxide is classified as a carcinogen.
