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 200 × 200 × 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 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.

How does the 110 PPI pore density of this nickel foam influence its suitability for gas diffusion electrodes in fuel cells?

The 110 PPI open-cell structure with an approximately 0.23 mm nominal pore pitch provides a high surface area and a through-pore rate of at least 98%, which supports efficient gas transport and reactant distribution in fuel-cell electrodes. The porosity range of 60–98% and the continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton further enhance permeability while maintaining electrical conductivity, making this foam a viable substrate for gas diffusion layers.

Can this nickel foam be used directly as a current collector in nickel-metal hydride batteries without additional coating?

Yes, the foamed nickel material is inherently electrically conductive and corrosion-resistant under alkaline conditions, making it suitable as a direct current collector for nickel-metal hydride positive and negative electrodes. The source lists battery electrodes as a typical application and notes the nickel matrix provides electrical conduction combined with a low-mass cellular structure, though specific compatibility with the electrode paste should be verified during assembly.

What are the recommended storage conditions and handling precautions for this 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. After delivery, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material to ensure the open-cell network remains intact.

This 110 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (200×200×3 mm) combines a high-porosity interconnected network with ≥98% through-pore rate and lightweight mechanical properties, making it suitable for battery electrodes, catalyst carriers, and heat-transfer systems. Its high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance support demanding applications, but careful handling is required to avoid cell deformation.

Positive

  • High-surface-area open-cell network: The 110 PPI open-cell structure with ~0.23 mm pore pitch provides a continuous three-dimensional network with 60-98% porosity and ≥98% through-pore rate, enabling efficient gas/liquid transport and high internal surface exposure for catalytic and electrochemical reactions.
  • Lightweight with high-temperature resistance: With a specific gravity of 0.2-0.3 and bulk density of 0.1-0.8 g/cm³, the foam is ultra-lightweight while offering tensile strength of 8-50 MPa and resistance to temperatures above 500°C (up to >1100°C), making it suitable for thermal and structural applications.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to crushing and contamination: The open cellular structure must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination; storage in a clean, dry area is required to preserve the integrity of the pore network and avoid blockage.
  • Fixed sheet size and thickness: The standard 200×200×3 mm format may not fit all integration requirements; custom dimensions up to 500×1000 mm are available but require consultation, and thickness is fixed at 3 mm for this variant.
