Indonesia, Norway, and Canada are the leading exporters of nickel dihydroxide, collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while China, South Korea, and Japan represent the largest importers, driven by battery precursor demand. Import volumes into Asia-Pacific countries have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with tightening supply constraints and upward pressure on nickel dihydroxide prices.
Nickel dihydroxide is a green crystalline solid, typically encountered as a fine powder, with no characteristic odor and negligible volatility under ambient conditions. It is an inorganic transition metal hydroxide, classified as a nickel(II) compound. Primarily used as an active cathode material in rechargeable nickel–cadmium (NiCd) and nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, it serves as a key electrochemical intermediate in battery electrode manufacturing. Its principal application domain is energy storage, particularly in portable electronics, power tools, and automotive traction batteries. It is also employed in the production of nickel oxide catalysts and as a precursor in nickel plating and specialty ceramic formulations.
