Nickel Oxide Hydroxide (NiOOH) is an inorganic nickel compound commonly formed as the oxidized phase of nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂), and it plays a key role as an active material in electrochemical systems, especially in rechargeable batteries such as nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, as well as in electrocatalysis and alkaline energy storage devices. It typically exists in different polymorphs (β-NiOOH and γ-NiOOH) with varying electrochemical properties, high redox activity, and good electrical conductivity under alkaline conditions. The supply chain of Nickel Oxide Hydroxide starts upstream with nickel resources (nickel sulfide ores or laterite ores) mined by companies such as Vale, Norilsk Nickel, and BHP, followed by refining into high-purity nickel salts (e.g., nickel sulfate or nickel nitrate). In the midstream, chemical manufacturers synthesize nickel hydroxide through precipitation processes, which is then electrochemically or chemically oxidized to form Nickel Oxide Hydroxide, often with controlled morphology for battery-grade performance. Downstream, the material is supplied to battery manufacturers (e.g., for NiMH cathodes), catalyst producers, and energy storage system integrators, with increasing demand driven by hybrid vehicles, backup power systems, and alkaline electrolysis technologies. In 2025, global Nickel Oxide Hydroxide output was about 220,000 tons with 280,000 tons of capacity, average prices of USD 4,000–7,000 per ton, and gross margins around 29%.

Global key Nickel Oxide Hydroxide players cover Jinchuan Group (China), Jiangmen Kanhoo (China), CNGR Advanced Material (China), Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt (China), Beijing Easpring (China), etc.
