Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 80 PPI, 100 × 100 × 10 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 80 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 0.32 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 80 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 sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination of the open-cell structure. Protect the cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination before cutting, bonding, or installing.

  • Contamination Prevention: Store in a clean, dry environment to avoid pore blockage or surface contamination that could compromise electrochemical or filtration performance.
  • Mechanical Integrity: Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact and crushing to preserve the three-dimensional network and through-pore rate.

Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure upon delivery. Cut, bend, or bond the foam into assemblies while preserving open pathways for flow and electrical conduction.

Required Equipment: Clean, dry storage area, Cutting tool (e.g., scissors or utility knife)

  1. Inspect Package and Sheet
    Check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure immediately after delivery.
  2. Store in Clean Dry Area
    Place the sheets in a clean, dry area to protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.
  3. Cut to Required Dimensions
    Cut the foam sheet to the required size using a sharp tool while preserving the open pore network.
  4. Bend or Bond for Assembly
    Bend or bond the cut piece into the laboratory assembly without collapsing the interconnected nickel skeleton.

How does the 80 PPI pore density with 0.32 mm nominal pore pitch influence the trade-off between permeability and surface area for electrochemical electrode applications?

The 80 PPI structure provides a balanced combination of high permeability and extensive internal surface area. With a nominal pore pitch of 0.32 mm and a through-pore rate of ≥98%, the foam allows efficient fluid transport while maintaining a large surface area for reaction sites. The specified porosity range of 60–98% and bulk density of 0.1–0.8 g/cm³ further enable customization of the trade-off for specific electrode requirements.

Is this nickel foam suitable as a substrate for catalyst coatings in high-temperature hydrogen electrolysis or electrocatalysis?

Yes, the foamed nickel structure is explicitly listed for hydrogen electrolysis and electrocatalysis applications. It offers temperature resistance ≥500°C with high-temperature capability >1100°C, and the nickel matrix provides corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. The open-cell network supports uniform catalyst loading and efficient gas evolution.

What storage and handling precautions are recommended for this 10 mm thick open-cell nickel foam to prevent damage to the pore structure?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. The foam can be cut, bent, or bonded, but care should be taken to preserve the interconnected open network. After delivery, inspect package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before use.

The Atomfair AF-N80-10T10 open-cell nickel foam (80 PPI, 100×100×10 mm) provides a high-porosity (60–98%), thermally stable (>500°C) nickel network with ≥98% through-pore rate, making it suitable for electrochemical electrodes, catalyst carriers, and filtration media, though its moderate mechanical strength (tensile 8–50 MPa) and open-cell contamination sensitivity require careful handling and storage.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: Stated porosity of 60–98% and through-pore rate ≥98% ensure excellent permeability for gases, liquids, and electrochemical reactants, enabling efficient mass transport in electrode and filtration applications.
  • Broad temperature resistance and thermal conductivity: Listed temperature resistance ≥500°C with capability >1100°C, combined with a heat-transfer coefficient >3 W/(m²·K), supports use in high-temperature catalytic, electrolysis, and heat-transfer processes.

Trade-offs

  • Moderate mechanical strength: Tensile strength ranges from 8–50 MPa and compressive strength ≥250 kPa, indicating the material may deform under significant mechanical load and requires careful handling during integration into assemblies.
  • Sensitivity to contamination and crushing: The open-cell structure is susceptible to contamination and irreversible damage from heavy impact or crushing; storage in a clean, dry area and protection from physical abuse are essential to maintain performance.
