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

What is the trade-off between the 80 PPI pore density and the 0.32 mm nominal pore pitch for electrochemical electrode loading in this nickel foam?

The 80 PPI (pores per inch) with a 0.32 mm nominal pore pitch provides a balanced open-cell network for electrode applications. This pore size supports high through-pore rate (≥98%) and porosity (60–98%), enabling effective electrolyte infiltration and active material loading while maintaining mechanical integrity with tensile strength of 8–50 MPa and compressive strength ≥250 kPa. The trade-off is that finer pores (higher PPI) increase surface area but may restrict mass transport, while coarser pores (lower PPI) improve flow but reduce surface area for catalytic or electrode reactions.

Can this 200 × 200 × 10 mm nickel foam sheet be integrated into a hydrogen electrolysis cell without additional surface treatment?

Yes, the as-supplied open-cell nickel foam is suitable for hydrogen electrolysis electrodes and electrocatalysis applications as stated in the application scope. The 80 PPI structure with ≥98% through-pore rate and porosity of 60–98% provides the necessary permeability for gas evolution and electrolyte flow. However, for optimal catalytic activity in hydrogen evolution reactions, the nickel surface may require coating or activation depending on the specific electrochemical environment, as the source notes it is a 'research-grade laboratory product' intended for evaluation.

What are the storage and handling requirements to prevent mechanical damage to the 10 mm thick open-cell nickel foam sheet?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination as per the handling and inspection guidance. The 10 mm thickness with bulk density of 0.1–0.8 g/cm³ and specific gravity of 0.2–0.3 makes the foam lightweight but mechanically fragile, with compressive strength ≥250 kPa and mechanical strength of ≥2–7 MPa. After delivery, check package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bending, or bonding to preserve the open pathways needed for filtration, catalytic contact, and electrode loading.

This 80 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (200 × 200 × 10 mm) provides a high through-pore rate (≥98%) and a porosity range of 60–98%, making it a strong candidate for battery electrodes, catalytic carriers, and filtration media. Its lightweight, formable structure (specific gravity 0.2–0.3) allows easy cutting, bending, and bonding, but the relatively low compressive strength (≥250 kPa) and sensitivity to crushing and contamination require careful handling and application-specific verification.

Positive

  • High through-pore rate and porosity: The ≥98% through-pore rate and 60–98% porosity ensure efficient gas/liquid flow and extensive internal surface area for electrochemical, filtration, and catalytic processes.
  • Lightweight and formable metal structure: With a specific gravity of 0.2–0.3, the sheet is highly lightweight and can be cut, bent, or bonded, facilitating integration into complex lab assemblies without compromising the open pore network.

Trade-offs

  • Requires careful handling and storage: The open cellular surface is susceptible to heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, necessitating clean, dry storage and protective measures during cutting, handling, and installation.
  • Limited compressive strength: With a compressive strength of ≥250 kPa, the foam is not designed for load-bearing applications; mechanical integrity must be verified against the intended pressure or clamping conditions.
