Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 60 PPI, 100 × 100 × 15 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 60 PPI is a lightweight, electrically conductive porous-metal sheet built around a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton. In this 100 × 100 × 15 mm format, the approximately 0.42 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 60 PPI open nickel network in a 100 × 100 × 15 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 nickel foam sheet requires careful handling to preserve its open-cell structure. Storage must be in a clean, dry environment with protection from mechanical impact and contamination.

  • Storage Conditions: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent moisture and dust contamination.
  • Mechanical Protection: Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and deformation during handling and fabrication.
  • Temperature Resistance: The foam withstands continuous temperatures of at least 500°C and short-term exposure above 1100°C.
  • Chemical Compatibility: The nickel matrix resists acid and alkali conditions, but verify compatibility with specific application environments.

Store the foam sheet in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination before use. Inspect and cut or bond the sheet as needed while avoiding crushing the pore network.

  1. Inspect the Delivered Sheet
    Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure upon delivery to confirm conformance.
  2. Store in Clean Environment
    Store the foam sheet in a clean, dry area protected from heavy impact, crushing, and airborne contaminants.
  3. Cut, Bend, or Bond
    Cut, bend, or bond the nickel foam sheet to the required shape using appropriate tools while preserving the open-cell network.

What are the bulk density and specific gravity of the Atomfair 60 PPI nickel foam sheet, and how do they compare to common structural materials?

The bulk density ranges from 0.1 to 0.8 g/cm³, with a specific gravity of 0.2–0.3. This makes the foam approximately one-quarter the density of water, one-third that of wood, one-tenth that of aluminum, and one-thirtieth that of iron, as stated in the product specifications. The low density combined with the open-cell structure provides a high surface-area-to-weight ratio suitable for electrode and filtration applications.

Is this 60 PPI nickel foam suitable for use as an electrode substrate in alkaline electrolysis or fuel cells without additional protective coatings?

Yes, the nickel foam is suitable for alkaline electrolysis and fuel-cell electrodes due to its inherent corrosion resistance in acid/alkali conditions, as listed in the product features. The nickel matrix provides electrical conductivity and structural continuity, and the open-cell network allows electrolyte flow. However, for specific electrochemical environments, confirm compatibility with your operating conditions before use.

What storage and handling precautions are recommended for the Atomfair open-cell nickel foam to preserve its pore structure?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, as specified in the handling guidelines. After delivery, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material to ensure the open pathways remain intact.

This 60 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet provides a high-porosity, thermally conductive metallic network suitable for battery electrodes, filtration, and heat-transfer applications, with a lightweight structure and high temperature resistance. The 100×100×15 mm format offers a balanced combination of permeability and mechanical integrity, though careful handling and environment-specific corrosion verification are required.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: The 60-98% porosity with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures excellent gas/liquid permeability and electrochemical reactant access, supporting filtration, catalysis, and electrode applications.
  • High temperature resistance and thermal conductivity: Listed temperature resistance up to >1100°C and heat-transfer coefficient >3 W/(m²·K) enable use in high-temperature environments and efficient heat exchange structures.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive open-cell structure: The open cellular surface is susceptible to deformation from heavy impact or crushing and requires clean, dry storage to prevent contamination that could block pore pathways.
  • Corrosion compatibility must be verified: While the nickel matrix offers some resistance, the description requires confirming application-critical corrosion, temperature, and chemical compatibility before ordering, indicating that not all environments are universally safe.
