Description

POROUS NICKEL FOAM 95% POROSITY 3D RETICULATED BATTERY ELECTRODE

RESEARCH GRADE MATERIAL

Product Overview

This Porous Nickel Foam is a high-performance functional porous metal material manufactured via an advanced electrodeposition process to achieve a fully interconnected 95% porosity 3D reticulated structure. Retaining the intrinsic physicochemical properties of pure nickel—including excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance—the material achieves an ultra-low bulk density of 0.1–0.8 g/cm³, merely 1/50th that of solid nickel. The open-cell architecture serves as an optimal battery electrode current collector for Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, and lithium-ion systems, where its high specific surface area enhances active material loading and charge transfer kinetics. Engineered as a high temperature corrosion resistant substrate capable of withstanding operating temperatures up to 1100°C, this foam delivers reliable performance across electrochemical, catalytic, and thermal management applications in demanding research and industrial environments.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Ultra-Lightweight with High Specific Surface Area: With a specific gravity of only 0.2–0.3—approximately 1/4 that of water and 1/30 that of iron—this porous nickel foam achieves 96–98% porosity while delivering an exceptionally large specific surface area critical for catalytic loading and electrochemical active material integration.
  • Broadband Acoustic Absorption & Damping: The stochastic 3D reticulated structure enables wide-frequency sound absorption via viscous friction and thermal dissipation within the micro-pores, providing significant noise reduction after proper treatment for acoustic isolation and vibration damping applications.
  • High-Efficiency EMI Shielding: Even thin-section configurations achieve approximately 90 dB electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, meeting stringent EMI/EMC requirements for sensitive electronic instrumentation and communications equipment.
  • Superior Thermal Management & High-Temperature Stability: Exhibiting thermal conductivity exceeding 3 W/(m²·K), the foam functions as an efficient heat spreader and heat pipe wick material. The structure remains flame-retardant and mechanically stable at operating temperatures up to 1100°C.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Validated for use as an electrode current collector in Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, fuel cell, and lithium-ion battery systems, including nickel foam-carbon composite electrodes for enhanced electrochemical performance. Functions as a catalyst carrier in chemical reactors, automotive exhaust purification, and air purification systems. Serves as an oil-water separator medium, distillation column packing, and condenser heat exchange material. Applicable in electrochemical engineering for hydrogen production, electrocatalysis, and electro-metallurgy. Suitable for thermal management in electronic devices, acoustic absorption panels, EMI shielding enclosures, flame-retardant barriers, and high-end decorative architectural materials.
PACKAGING: Standard sheet stock (3 mm thickness, 10 PPI) available for immediate dispatch. Product is supplied as flat sheet, disc, cone, or ring configurations per customer specification. Each unit is vacuum-sealed in low-outgassing polyethylene film and packaged with rigid protective plates to preserve the delicate 3D reticulated structure during transit. Custom dimensions, thicknesses, PPI grades, and geometric shapes are manufactured to order.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: For high-temperature applications exceeding 500°C in oxidizing atmospheres, pre-conditioning of the nickel foam in a reducing environment (H₂/Ar) is recommended to remove surface oxide layers and restore full electrical conductivity. When handling thin sheets (< 1 mm thickness), utilize vacuum pickup tools to prevent localized plastic deformation of the pore walls. The material is fully recyclable as metallic nickel and complies with international environmental standards. Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment; while the material is inherently acid-alkali resistant per ISO 11845:1995, prolonged exposure to concentrated oxidizing acids may cause gradual surface passivation.
