  • Applications

    Nickel formate is a salt of formic acid and nickel, used primarily as a catalyst precursor: upon thermal decomposition it yields nickel-containing species suitable for nickel-based catalysts in hydrogenation and hydrocarbon reforming. It also serves as a precursor to nickel nanoparticles for catalysis in organic synthesis and for nickel-catalyzed CNT growth by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). As an organometallic intermediate, it is used in the synthesis of nickel complexes and catalyst systems. Additionally, it can be employed in deposition processes to form nickel-containing coatings or thin films via heat treatment or CVD. In research and materials processing, nickel formate is commonly evaluated as a nickel source for electronics-related applications and materials, with use governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
