Germany, the United States, and China are the leading exporters of cupric nitrate, collectively accounting for over 50% of global export value in recent years; major importers include South Korea, India, and Mexico, driven by demand from electronics plating and catalyst manufacturing sectors. Imports by South Korea and India have grown steadily since 2022, while Cupric nitrate prices have remained relatively stable amid consistent supply from top exporting nations.
Cupric nitrate (copper(II) nitrate), CAS 3251-23-8, is a blue crystalline solid, typically encountered as the trihydrate (Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O), and is highly soluble in water and ethanol. It is a transition metal salt—specifically, an inorganic copper(II) compound—with no characteristic odor and decomposes before boiling. Cupric nitrate serves primarily as a precursor and catalyst in the synthesis of copper-based materials, including copper oxides, catalysts, and conductive inks. Its principal applications are in electronics manufacturing (e.g., printed circuit boards and thin-film deposition), pigments and ceramic glazes, and as a reagent in electroplating and metal surface treatment processes.
Copper(II) nitrate is used in light-sensitive reproduction papers; as a mordant in dyeing and printing of fabrics; as a coloring reagent for ceramics; for coloring copper black; as a burnishing agent for iron; in nickel-plating baths; in pyrotechnic compositions; and in paints, varnishes, and enamels. Other applications are as an oxidizing agent; nitrating agent for aromatics; as a catalyst; and an analytical standard for copper.Copper nitrate trihydrate occurs in nature as the mineral gerhardite.
Cupric nitrate is a Blue crystalline solid.
