PI-KEM and PI-KEM Hart nickel oxides are used by a variety of industries, including ceramics, electronics, energy, and aerospace. They are known for their high quality, reliability, and performance.
We supply nickel oxide in two formulations:
- Stoichiometric Green Nickel Oxide (NiO)
- Non-stoichiometric Black Nickel Oxide (Ni2O3)
Each has its own characteristics and applications (See product overview below). Green and Black Nickel Oxide are available in ‘A’ and ‘F’ size ranges.
Novamet nickel oxide powders are specially formulated for high-density alloys and tailored for sintering applications, boasting exceptional compactability and metallurgical attributes.
Applications of nickel oxide include:
- Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) as the anode material and Solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOECs) as the cathode material
- Semiconductor electronics: heat-sensitive thermistors and voltage-dependent varistors
- Catalysts: As a catalyst in a variety of chemical reactions, including hydrogen production, methane reforming, and carbon monoxide oxidation
- Glass and ceramic colouring: Used as pigment for glass and ceramics in a variety of shades of brown and green
- Batteries: Used as the cathode material in nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries
- Fuel cells: Used as the anode material in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs)
