Nickel Sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NiSO4 (H20)6. It is highly soluble in any aqueous solution and is blue in appearance. Nickel sulfate is one of the primary sources of Ni2+ ion, which is used commercially in electroplating applications. Commercially, there are seven types of Ni (II) salts available in the market which can be used for a variety of applications. On a commercial scale, nickel sulfate is formulated and synthesized as a by-product in copper refining. Nickel sulfate is also formulated by the dissolution of nickel oxide & nickel metal in sulfuric acid.
Within the commercial market, the Nickel sulfate compound is available in different grades, such as plating grade, EN grade and high purity grade. The plating grade nickel sulfate is generally used in electroplating application technique in which a thin layer or coating of nickel is deposited over the metal surface. Nickel is generally used in electroplating applications as it does not fade on coming in contact with the air. Also, nickel coatings offers better durability, hardness and resistance to corrosion in aggressive environmental conditions. The EN grade and high purity grades of nickel sulfate find relatively higher adoption in chemicals industry and in formulation of batteries.
The use of nickel sulfate in metal surface treatment in battery cathodes will further help in boosting the global demand for end-user industries, such as, automotive, and consumer electronics. Nickel coating is done on the surface of metals to increase their service life by imparting them with enhanced properties.
