Confirmed carcinogen. | [Description]
Nickel oxide (Ni2O3) is an important metal oxide used as a plating agent, surface treatment agent, and photocatalyst. Ni2O3 is also used as an electrode material in the manufacture of fuel cells and as a catalytic material in the production of electrolytic cells. | [Industrial uses]
Nickel produces a bluish-violet in potash glasses and a violet tending toward brown in soda glasses. Nickel rates as one of the more powerful colorants, since 1 part in 50,000 produces a recognizable tint. Nickel oxide is sometimes used to decolorize potash glass. Nickel oxide and nickel silicate have an advantage over manganese dioxide for decolorizing purposes in that they are not as sensitive in changing oxidizing and reducing environments. |

| [Uses]
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.
