Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 30 PPI, 100 × 200 × 10 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 30 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 0.85 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 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.

Store the nickel foam in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and moisture ingress. Protect the open cellular structure from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during handling and storage.

  • Storage Requirement: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area away from heavy impact and contamination.
  • Inspection Requirement: Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure upon delivery before cutting, bonding, or installing.
  • Application Compatibility: Confirm application-critical corrosion, temperature, mechanical, and integration requirements before ordering and using the material.

Follow these steps to safely handle and inspect the nickel foam sheet before use. Proper handling ensures the open-cell structure remains intact for optimal performance.

  1. Inspect Delivery Package
    Inspect the delivery package for damage and verify the sheet dimensions and visible pore structure.
  2. Store in Clean Area
    Store the nickel foam sheets in a clean, dry area to protect them from moisture and contamination.
  3. Protect from Mechanical Damage
    Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during handling and storage.

How does the 30 PPI pore density influence the balance between permeability and mechanical strength in this nickel foam?

The 30 PPI structure with an approximately 0.85 mm nominal pore pitch provides a high through-pore rate (≥98%) and porosity range of 60–98%, enabling excellent fluid permeability. Simultaneously, the nickel skeleton delivers a tensile strength of 8–50 MPa and compressive strength ≥250 kPa, making the foam suitable for electrode and catalyst support applications where both flow and structural integrity are required.

Is this 10 mm thick nickel foam suitable as a substrate for nickel-carbon composite electrodes in lithium batteries?

Yes, the product description explicitly lists nickel-carbon composite electrodes for lithium batteries as a typical application. The open-cell network with 30 PPI and 60–98% porosity allows active material loading, while the electrically conductive nickel matrix supports current collection. However, confirm application-critical corrosion, temperature, and integration requirements before ordering.

What storage conditions are required to prevent oxidation or contamination of this nickel foam before use?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. The nickel foam is fire-resistant and recyclable with a listed temperature resistance ≥500°C, but prolonged exposure to humid or corrosive environments should be avoided to maintain surface integrity.

This 30 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (100×200×10 mm) provides a high through-pore rate (≥98%) and low bulk density (0.1–0.8 g/cm³) for electrochemical and filtration use, with formability for cutting, bending, and bonding. However, the open cellular structure demands careful handling to prevent crushing or contamination, and application-specific temperature and acid/alkali compatibility must be confirmed before deployment.

Positive

  • High through-pore rate and porosity: Minimum 98% through-pore rate and 60–98% porosity ensure efficient gas/liquid flow and extensive surface exposure for electrode, catalyst, and filtration applications.
  • Lightweight with high temperature resistance: Specific gravity of 0.2–0.3 and temperature resistance above 500°C (capable >1100°C) enable low-mass structures in high-temperature and corrosive environments.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to mechanical damage: The open cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during storage and handling, as stated in the product's handling and inspection guidance.
  • Chemical compatibility must be verified: While the foam is listed as acid/alkali resistant, the specific limits are not quantified; users must confirm application-critical corrosion and temperature requirements before ordering.
