What is Nickel Oxide?
Nickel Oxide is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula of NiO. It is an olive green crystalline powder and is insoluble in water. It is mainly used as an adhesive and colourant for enamel, a pigment for ceramics and glass, and can produce magnetic materials. It can be used to produce Nickel-zinc ferrite, etc. It can also be used as a raw material for the manufacture of Nickel salts and catalysts, and it can also be used in metallurgy and picture tubes.
 
Why does Nickel Oxide change from green to black?
The blackening of Nickel-plating vacuum welding does happen. The real Nickel Oxide is dark green, not black. Some data say that Nickel Oxide is black, which is inappropriate, and the blackening is caused by oxidation. The vacuum degree may be low, and the vacuum system contains moisture. The combination of Nickel and hydrOxide causes it. When welding in a protective atmosphere mixed with hydrogen and nitrogen, blackening also occurs, which may be caused by Nickel nitride.
 
Can Nickel Oxide be used as a photocatalyst?
Nickel Oxide can be used as a photocatalyst. A photocatalyst is a catalyst driven by the energy of light waves, which can promote photochemical reactions. When Nickel Oxide absorbs visible light and ultraviolet light, it will generate electron and hole pairs, and these electron and hole pairs will react with surrounding water or oxygen and other substances, thereby triggering a series of photochemical reactions. Therefore, Nickel Oxide is widely used as an effective photocatalyst in environmental governance and solar energy conversion.
 
The primary use of Nickel Oxide.
It is mainly used as an adhesive and colourant for enamel, a pigment for ceramics and glass. It can also be used in producing magnetic materials to produce Nickel-zinc ferrite, etc. in the application.
