Nickel(II) carbonate is the chemical compound with the formula NiCO3. It is a pale green polymeric solid consisting of Ni2+ cations and [CO32- anions. NiCO3 does not actually dissolve in any solvent, but is readily decomposed by aqueous acids to give solutions containing the ion [Ni(H2O)62+, liberating water and carbon dioxide in the process. Pyrolysis of NiCO3 gives NiO:
- NiCO3 → NiO + CO2
