Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 40 PPI, 100 × 100 × 10 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 40 PPI is a lightweight, electrically conductive porous-metal sheet built around a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton. In this 100 × 100 × 10 mm format, the approximately 0.64 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 40 PPI open nickel network in a 100 × 100 × 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.

Store the nickel foam sheet in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and protect the cellular structure from heavy impact or crushing. The material can be cut, bent, or bonded for downstream fabrication but requires careful inspection of dimensions and pore structure before processing.

  • Environmental Storage: Store in a clean, dry environment to avoid contamination of the open-cell network.
  • Mechanical Protection: Protect the sheet from heavy impact, crushing, and deformation to preserve the pore structure integrity.
  • Temperature Limits: The nickel foam maintains structural stability up to 500°C and can withstand temperatures exceeding 1100°C.
  • Chemical Compatibility: The material is resistant to acid and alkali conditions, but confirm application-specific corrosion requirements before ordering.
  • Processing Guidelines: Inspect package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

This procedure describes the initial inspection, storage, and basic processing steps for the open-cell nickel foam sheet. Follow these steps to ensure the material remains uncontaminated and mechanically intact before use.

Required Equipment:

  1. Inspect Package and Sheet
    Inspect the package condition and verify the sheet dimensions and visible pore structure upon delivery.
  2. Store Properly
    Store the nickel foam sheet in a clean, dry area, protecting it from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.
  3. Process the Sheet
    Cut, bond, or install the foam sheet only after confirming its dimensions and pore integrity meet your requirements.

How does the 40 PPI pore density of this nickel foam influence its suitability for high-flow gas diffusion electrodes versus mechanical load-bearing applications?

The 40 PPI (approximately 0.64 mm nominal pore pitch) provides a balance between permeability and structural integrity. The through-pore rate is ≥98% with porosity of 60–98%, enabling efficient gas/liquid flow for electrode applications. However, mechanical strength is moderate (tensile strength 8–50 MPa, compressive strength ≥250 kPa, mechanical strength ≥2–7 MPa) and bulk density is low (0.1–0.8 g/cm³), making the foam suitable for flow-critical electrodes but not for high-stress load-bearing structures.

Can this 40 PPI nickel foam be integrated into a PEM electrolyzer stack without additional corrosion protection?

The foamed nickel material is listed as resistant to acid/alkali conditions and high temperatures (≥500°C, with capability >1100°C), suggesting compatibility with PEM environments. However, the source does not specify long-term corrosion rates in acidic PEM conditions and advises confirming application-critical corrosion requirements before ordering. The foam's electrical conductivity and heat-transfer coefficient (>3 W/(m²·K)) support stack integration, but verification against specific electrolyte and operating conditions is recommended.

What storage and handling precautions are necessary to preserve the open-cell structure and prevent contamination before use?

Store sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. After delivery, inspect package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing. The foam can be cut, bent, and bonded for downstream fabrication, but care must be taken to avoid collapsing the pore network during handling.

This 40 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (100 × 100 × 10 mm) provides a continuous three-dimensional porous network with ≥98% through-pore rate and 60–98% porosity, making it suitable for battery electrodes, catalyst carriers, filtration, and heat-transfer applications where high surface area and permeability are required. Its thermal stability (>500°C, up to >1100°C) and electrical conductivity support demanding electrochemical and high-temperature environments, but operational suitability depends on confirming application-specific corrosion, temperature, and mechanical integration requirements.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: The 60–98% porosity combined with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures efficient gas/liquid flow and reactant access throughout the open-cell network, critical for electrochemical and filtration performance.
  • Thermal and electrical stability: Listed temperature resistance above 500°C (up to >1100°C) and a heat-transfer coefficient >3 W/(m²·K) enable use in high-temperature catalysis, electrolysis, and heat-transfer structures while maintaining conductivity.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to handling and contamination: The open cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination; clean, dry storage is required to preserve structural integrity and performance.
  • Application-specific validation required: Corrosion, temperature, mechanical, and integration requirements must be confirmed before ordering, as the foam's suitability depends on the specific chemical and physical environment of the target application.
