Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 20 PPI, 100 × 200 × 10 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 20 PPI is a lightweight, electrically conductive porous-metal sheet built around a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton. In this 100 × 200 × 10 mm format, the approximately 1.27 mm nominal pore pitch creates a regular open network with extensive internal surface exposure, allowing gases, liquids and electrochemical reactants to move through the material instead of remaining confined to the outer faces.

The interconnected framework gives the sheet a useful balance of permeability, formability and structural continuity. It can be cut, bent or bonded into laboratory assemblies while preserving the open pathways needed for filtration, catalytic contact, electrode loading and heat transfer. The nickel matrix also makes the foam relevant where electrical conduction, thermal response, corrosion resistance, acoustic attenuation or electromagnetic shielding must be combined with a low-mass cellular structure.

This specification is suitable for evaluating battery and fuel-cell electrodes, nickel-carbon composite electrode structures, catalyst carriers, exhaust and air-purification media, oil-water separation, industrial filtration, hydrogen electrolysis, electrocatalysis, heat-pipe wicks, condenser structures and distillation packing. Select the PPI, sheet dimensions and thickness around the intended flow, surface-area and integration requirements; choose a 1-piece pack for initial evaluation or a 5-piece pack for repeated trials and small-batch assembly.

Application Scope

Suitable for laboratory and engineering evaluations that require a 20 PPI open nickel network in a 100 × 200 × 10 mm format. Application areas include nickel-metal-hydride, nickel-cadmium and fuel-cell positive and negative electrodes; nickel-carbon composite electrodes for lithium batteries; catalyst and exhaust-purification carriers; air purification, oil-water separation and industrial filtration; hydrogen electrolysis, electrocatalysis and electrochemical metallurgy; infrared-burner surfaces and industrial or domestic drying-heater structures; heat-pipe wicks and condenser heat-transfer media; distillation-tower packing; and functional damping, acoustic, vibration-buffering, electromagnetic-shielding, thermal-insulation and decorative structures.
SELECTION GUIDANCE: Confirm PPI, nominal pore pitch, porosity requirement, through-pore rate, sheet length and width, thickness, bulk-density range, operating environment and required quantity before quotation. Confirm application-critical corrosion, temperature, mechanical and integration requirements before ordering.
HANDLING & INSPECTION: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing and contamination. After delivery, check the package condition, sheet dimensions and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding or installing the material.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Custom dimensions are available upon consultation. For a dimensional feasibility review by e-mail, provide the target length, width, thickness, PPI and estimated quantity.

This document outlines the storage and handling constraints for ATOMFAIR open-cell nickel foam sheets. The material must be stored in a clean, dry environment and protected from mechanical damage to preserve its structural integrity.

  • Storage Environment: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and moisture exposure.
  • Mechanical Protection: Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and deformation during handling and storage.
  • Pre-Use Inspection: Check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

How does the 20 PPI pore density affect the balance between permeability and surface area for catalytic applications?

The 20 PPI (approximately 1.27 mm nominal pore pitch) provides a regular open network with extensive internal surface exposure while maintaining high through-pore permeability (≥98% through-pore rate). This balance allows gases and liquids to flow freely through the foam while offering sufficient surface area for catalyst loading, making it suitable for catalyst carriers and electrochemical processes such as hydrogen electrolysis and electrocatalysis.

Can this nickel foam be directly used as a substrate for electrode coatings in lithium-ion batteries?

Yes, the 20 PPI nickel foam is explicitly listed for nickel-carbon composite electrode structures in lithium batteries. Its continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton provides electrical conductivity and mechanical support for active material coatings, while the open-cell structure (60–98% porosity) allows electrolyte penetration and ion transport. The foam can be cut, bent, or bonded to fit cell assembly requirements.

What precautions should be taken when cutting or bonding this nickel foam to preserve its open-cell structure?

The foam can be cut, bent, and bonded for downstream fabrication, but the open cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. Use sharp cutting tools to minimize pore collapse, and store sheets in a clean, dry area before use. After bonding, verify that the adhesive does not block the through-pore network, as the ≥98% through-pore rate is critical for filtration and flow applications.

This 20 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet in a 100×200×10 mm format offers a high-porosity, high-temperature-capable porous metal network for electrochemical, filtration, and heat-transfer applications, but requires careful handling due to its fragile open structure and confirmation of custom sizing ahead of ordering.

Positive

  • High through-pore rate and porosity: The ≥98% through-pore rate and 60–98% porosity ensure unobstructed flow of gases and liquids through the three-dimensional open network, making it suitable for electrode, filtration, and catalytic applications.
  • High-temperature and corrosion resistance: The nickel matrix withstands temperatures above 1100°C and resists acid/alkali conditions, allowing use in aggressive electrochemical and thermal environments.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to mechanical impact and contamination: The open-cell structure is easily crushed or contaminated by heavy impact, so proper handling and storage in a clean, dry area are essential to preserve pore integrity and performance.
  • Fixed format; custom sizing requires consultation: The product is only offered as a 100×200×10 mm sheet at 20 PPI; any other dimensions or PPI values require a separate feasibility review, introducing lead time and integration uncertainty.
