Nickel(II) carbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NiCO3. It is a pale green polymeric solid consisting of Ni2+ cations and [CO3]2- anions. NiCO3 does not actually dissolve in any solvent, but is readily decomposed by aqueous acids to give solutions containing the ion [Ni(H2O)6]2+, liberating water and carbon dioxide in the process. Pyrolysis of NiCO3 gives NiO:

Nickel(II) carbonate is a pale green solid. It does not dissolve in water. It reacts with acids to make carbon dioxide. It turns into carbon dioxide and nickel(II) oxide when heated.
It is made by reacting sodium carbonate with nickel(II) chloride or nickel(II) sulfate.
It is used in pigments and catalysts that have nickel in them.
