Nickel oxyhydroxide is a transition metal oxyhydroxide compound typically formed by the electrochemical oxidation of nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂), widely used as an active material in alkaline batteries (such as NiMH and Ni–Cd), supercapacitors, and electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reactions (OER). Its supply chain begins upstream with nickel resources (primarily laterite and sulfide ores) mined and refined into high-purity nickel salts (e.g., nickel sulfate or nickel nitrate), followed by chemical precipitation to produce nickel hydroxide precursors. In the midstream, these precursors undergo controlled oxidation—either chemically or electrochemically—to form β-NiOOH or γ-NiOOH phases, often with doping (e.g., cobalt, aluminum) to enhance conductivity and cycling stability. Downstream processing includes material conditioning (particle size control, coating, electrode slurry formulation) and integration into battery electrodes or catalytic systems. The end supply chain serves industries such as energy storage (rechargeable batteries), renewable energy (water electrolysis), and electronics, with key participants including mining companies, chemical producers, battery material manufacturers, and device integrators. In 2025, global Nickel Oxyhydroxide output was about 220,000 tons with 300,000 tons of capacity, average prices of USD 3,500 – 7,000 per ton, and gross margins around 29%.

Global key Nickel Oxyhydroxide players cover Sasol (South Africa), TOR Minerals (USA), Blue Grass Chemical (USA), Nabaltec (Germany), Dequachim (Belgium), etc.
