Application

Nickel(II) chloride is utilized in the manufacturing of nickel-cadmium batteries, serving as a crucial component in the electrochemical reactions occurring within these rechargeable batteries. It is also suitable for use in theR&D activities of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are used in various portable electronic devices and hybrid vehicles. In an experimet it has been found that Ni-NiCl2 composite cathode increased the output energy by ∼47% when the thermal batteries were used in weapons (working voltage >25 V), with a power density of up to 11.4 kW/kg. It is suitable as a catalyst or reagent in various organic synthesis reactions, such as cross-coupling reactions, amination, and cycloaddition reactions. In an experiment, it has been established that a wide variety of acyclic and cyclic dithioacetals can be prepared chemoselectively from the corresponding aldehydes by employing a catalytic amount of nickel(II) chloride in dry CH2Cl2–MeOH (5:1) at room temperature in good yields.

Features and Benefits

Some of the major advantages of this product is as a catalyst its high chemoselectivity, ease of operation, high yields, and also compatibility with other protecting groups. The compound′s capacity to aid in advanced material synthesis and promote environmental sustainability further highlights its value across various fields.
The vapor-phase co-reductions with other metal halides such as aluminum chloride (cat. no. 449598) by hydrogen results in finely divided intermetallics with applications as structural materials or compounds with useful thermoelectric, magnetic, and oxidation-resistance properties. Used in the synthesis of semiconducting metal-containing polymers in which the polypyrrole backbone has a conformational energy minimum and is nearly planar.
