Abstract

Nickel hydroxide obtained by neutralizing an aqueous nickel sulfate solution with an alkali is heat-treated in a non-reducing atmosphere at a temperature higher than 850° C. but lower than 1050° C. to form nickel oxide particles, and a sintered compact of nickel oxide particles that may be formed during the heat treatment is pulverized by preferably allowing the nickel oxide particles to collide with one another. The thus obtained nickel oxide fine powder has a sulfur content of 400 mass ppm or less, a chlorine content of 50 mass ppm or less, a sodium content of 100 mass ppm or less, and a specific surface area of 3 m2/g or more but less than 6 m2/g.
