[0002] Nickel sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NiSO4. It is mainly used in electroplating, nickel batteries, catalysts, and the production of other nickel salts. It is also used as a mordant in printing and dyeing, and as a metal colorant. Battery-grade nickel sulfate is an important raw material for lithium battery cathode materials. Its production process requires crystallization and purification through a crystal growth device.
