Uses
Storage batteries. Nickel oxide (NiO) is produced from nickel minerals to form nickel oxide when heated to
400°C, which is then reduced at a temperature of 600°C, resulting in the formation of nickel
oxide. It is used as electrodes in fuel cells. Nickel oxide is used in the ceramic industry for making frit, ferrites, and coloring porcelain. The oxide in sinter form is used in the production of nickel-steel alloys. It supplies oxygen to the melt for removal of carbon as carbon dioxide. Some other important uses of nickel oxide include preparation of many nickel salts, specialty chemicals, and nickel catalysts. It also is used as an electrode in fuel cells. ▼▲
