Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 110 PPI is a lightweight, electrically conductive porous-metal sheet built around a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton. In this 100 × 100 × 3 mm format, the approximately 0.23 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 110 PPI open nickel network in a 100 × 100 × 3 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 nickel foam sheets in a clean, dry environment to prevent moisture contamination and physical damage. Before use, inspect the sheet dimensions, pore structure, and package integrity to ensure suitability for cutting, bending, or bonding.

  • Storage Environment: Maintain a clean, dry storage area to avoid moisture absorption and contamination of the open-cell structure.
  • Physical Protection: Protect the foam from heavy impact, crushing, and any mechanical deformation that could collapse the pore network.
  • Pre-Use Inspection: Verify package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure prior to cutting, bonding, or installation.
  • Processing Compatibility: The material can be cut, bent, and bonded using standard fabrication techniques without compromising the open-cell network.
  • Contamination Prevention: Keep the foam surface free from oils, dust, and chemical residues that could alter porosity or electrochemical performance.

How does the 110 PPI pore density of this nickel foam influence its performance in battery electrode versus filtration applications?

The 110 PPI (0.23 mm nominal pore pitch) provides a balance of high surface area and permeability. For battery electrodes, the high through-pore rate (≥98%) and porosity (60–98%) facilitate electrolyte flow and ion transport. For filtration, the fine pore size enables particle retention while maintaining low flow resistance. The open-cell structure supports both applications.

Is this nickel foam suitable for use in alkaline water electrolysis for hydrogen production?

Yes. The foamed nickel material is resistant to acid and alkali conditions, and the product is explicitly listed for hydrogen electrolysis and electrocatalysis applications. The 110 PPI structure provides high surface area for catalyst loading and gas evolution.

What storage and handling precautions are recommended to preserve the open-cell structure of this 3 mm thick nickel foam?

Store in a clean, dry area and protect 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 without collapsing the network if handled carefully.

This 110 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet in 100×100×3 mm format offers high through-pore rate (≥98%) and porosity (60–98%) for efficient fluid transport, while its formability supports integration into electrodes, catalysts, and heat-transfer assemblies; however, it requires careful handling and application-specific validation of corrosion and temperature limits.

Positive

  • High through-pore rate and porosity: The sheet states a through-pore rate of ≥98% and porosity of 60–98%, enabling unimpeded gas and liquid flow through the three-dimensional open network, which is critical for efficient filtration, catalysis, and electrochemical reactant transport.
  • Formable and integrable: The nickel foam can be cut, bent, and bonded into laboratory assemblies, preserving open pathways while allowing adaptation to electrode, catalyst carrier, and heat-transfer structures without losing structural continuity.

Trade-offs

  • Handling and storage sensitivity: The open cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, and stored in a clean, dry area to prevent structural damage or blockage of the pore network before use.
  • Application-specific compatibility required: The selection guidance explicitly requires confirming application-critical corrosion, temperature, mechanical, and integration requirements before ordering, indicating that the material's suitability depends on the operating environment and must be verified per intended use.
