General Description

Nickel hydroxide is a chemical compound with the formula Ni(OH)2. It is a green, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and slowly decomposes when exposed to atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nickel hydroxide is commonly used in rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries as the positive electrode material. It has a high energy density and good electrochemical properties, making it a popular choice for use in various portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. Nickel hydroxide is also used as a catalyst in the production of hydrogen gas and in the manufacture of ceramics and pigments. Despite its many applications, nickel hydroxide is considered to be a toxic compound and proper handling and disposal procedures should be followed to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
