Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 80 PPI, 100 × 200 × 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 × 200 × 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 × 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.

Store the nickel foam sheets in a clean, dry area to avoid surface contamination. Protect the open cellular structure from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination before use.

  • Mechanical Degradation Risk: The open-cell network is susceptible to permanent deformation if crushed or impacted during storage or handling.
  • Corrosion Restriction: Confirm application-critical corrosion resistance in the intended operating environment, as nickel may degrade in aggressive acidic or alkaline conditions outside stated limits.
  • Thermal Stability Limit: The foam maintains structural integrity at temperatures up to 500°C and can withstand brief exposure above 1100°C, but verify compatibility with the specific thermal profile.

Inspect the delivered sheet for damage and verify dimensions before any fabrication step. Cut, bend, or bond the foam while preserving the open pore network for the intended application.

Required Equipment: Clean, dry storage area, Cutting tool (scissors or shear)

  1. Inspect the foam sheet
    Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure immediately after delivery for any crushing or contamination.
  2. Store in controlled environment
    Store the sheets in a clean, dry area away from heavy impact and crushing forces to maintain the open-cell integrity.
  3. Cut to required dimensions
    Cut the sheet using scissors or a shear, ensuring the cut edges do not collapse the open pore network.
  4. Form or bond as needed
    Bend or bond the foam into the assembly while preserving the open pathways for gas, liquid, or electrochemical flow.
  5. Verify application compatibility
    Confirm that the PPI, porosity, and thickness match the flow, surface area, and integration requirements before final installation.

How does the 80 PPI pore density of this nickel foam affect its electrical conductivity and surface area for battery electrode applications?

The 80 PPI specification yields a nominal pore pitch of approximately 0.32 mm, creating a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton with 60–98% porosity and ≥98% through-pore rate. This open network maximizes internal surface exposure while maintaining electrical conduction through the nickel matrix, supported by a bulk density range of 0.1–0.8 g/cm³ and specific gravity of 0.2–0.3.

Can this nickel foam withstand the corrosive conditions in hydrogen electrolysis using alkaline electrolytes?

Yes, the foamed nickel structure is explicitly stated as resistant to high-temperature and acid/alkali conditions, with a listed temperature resistance of ≥500°C and high-temperature capability exceeding 1100°C. These properties, combined with the open-pore network and ≥98% through-pore rate, make it suitable for hydrogen electrolysis electrodes and electrocatalysis in alkaline environments.

What storage and handling precautions are required to maintain the structural integrity of the 10 mm thick nickel foam sheet?

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 foam can be cut, bent, and bonded while preserving pore integrity, but the 10 mm thickness requires care to avoid compressive damage (listed compressive strength ≥250 kPa).

Atomfair 80 PPI nickel foam sheet (100x200x10 mm) offers a lightweight, high-porosity (60-98%) open-cell structure with ≥98% through-pore rate, suitable for electrochemical electrodes, filtration, and heat transfer. The nickel matrix provides electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, but requires careful handling to avoid damage to the cellular structure.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: Porosity of 60–98% with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures extensive internal surface exposure and unimpeded flow of gases, liquids, and electrochemical reactants, critical for electrode loading and catalytic contact.
  • Broad temperature resistance: Listed temperature resistance of ≥500°C with high-temperature capability exceeding 1100°C allows deployment in high-temperature catalytic, combustion, and thermal-processing environments without structural degradation.

Trade-offs

  • Handling and storage sensitivity: The open cellular surface must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, as the porous structure is mechanically fragile and susceptible to irreversible deformation.
  • Moderate mechanical strength: With tensile strength of 8–50 MPa, compressive strength ≥250 kPa, and mechanical strength of 2–7 MPa, the foam cannot support significant structural loads and requires integration into a supporting framework for load-bearing applications.
