Nickel silicate (NiSiO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of nickel, silicon, and oxygen. It belongs to the silicate ceramic family and is primarily encountered in research and specialized industrial contexts rather than as a mainstream engineering material. The compound is of interest in catalysis, pigment formulation, and high-temperature applications where nickel's thermal and chemical properties can be leveraged within a silicate matrix, though it remains less common than nickel oxides or alumino-silicates in production use.
