Application

Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate can be used:

  • As an additive in the fabrication of cellulose acetate polymers(CA) to control the porosity of the polymer. The formation of Ni(NO3)2.6H2O aggregates in polymer matrix during solidification and the strong interaction between Ni, nitrate, and water molecules result in the formation of well-defined pores on the surface of the CA matrix.
  • As a starting material to prepare nickel(ii) Schiff base, which is used as a precursor to synthesize NiO nanoparticles by solid-state thermal decomposition method.
  • As a dopant to prepare Ni-Ceria catalyst for selective hydrogenation of acetylene.
  • As a catalyst to prepare 3,4-dihydropyrimidinone derivatives via Biginelli cyclocondensation.
