METAL NICKEL POWDER

摘要

The present invention provides a metallic nickel powder in which the occurrence of delamination can be prevented by providing superior sintering properties in production processes for multilayer ceramic capacitors and by providing superior dispersion characteristics in the forming of conductive pastes. By being brought into contact with nickel chloride gas and a reducing gas at a temperature in the range of the reduction reaction, metallic nickel powder is produced in which the oxygen content is 0.1 to 2.0% by weight and there is no absorption peak at wavelengths ranging from 3600 to 3700 cm-1 in infrared spectroscopy.
