Laboratory Open-Cell Copper Foam, 20 PPI, 100 × 100 × 2 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell copper foam with 20 PPI provides an interconnected porous-metal structure in a 100 × 100 × 2 mm sheet. Its nominal pore pitch is approximately 1.27 mm, offering a clearly defined cellular specification for laboratory selection and engineering integration.

The material is a foamed copper sheet with a stated porosity of 50–80%, a through-pore rate of at least 98% and a bulk-density range of 0.1–0.8 g/cm³. This combination preserves the continuous open network required for high internal surface exposure while retaining the thermal and electrical characteristics associated with the copper framework.

The open copper network can be evaluated for electrode frameworks and current-collection structures, catalyst-support assemblies, heat-transfer and heat-dissipation components, filtration and water-purification media, acoustic attenuation and electromagnetic-shielding structures, and fluid-pressure buffering devices. Selection should be based on PPI, sheet dimensions, thickness, package quantity and the intended integration method.

The open-cell copper foam sheet requires careful storage and handling to preserve its porous structure. Environmental exposure and mechanical impact can cause deformation or contamination.

  • Storage requirement: Store the sheet in a clean, dry area to prevent oxidation and mechanical damage.
  • Handling requirement: Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.
  • Inspection requirement: Check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing.

The handling and inspection procedure ensures the copper foam sheet remains intact and suitable for its intended application. Follow these steps to verify condition and preserve the material.

  1. Inspect package and sheet
    Inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure upon delivery.
  2. Store in clean dry area
    Store the sheet in a clean, dry area.
  3. Protect from impact
    Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.

How does the 50–80% porosity range affect the trade-off between internal surface area and mechanical integrity of the 20 PPI copper foam?

The porosity directly determines bulk density (0.1–0.8 g/cm³). Higher porosity increases internal surface area for electrode or catalyst applications but reduces mechanical strength and electrical conductivity per unit volume. The 20 PPI structure with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures open connectivity regardless of porosity within the stated range.

Can this 2 mm thick copper foam be used directly as a current collector in a nickel-zinc battery without additional substrate?

Yes, the copper framework supports electrical conduction, and the 20 PPI open-cell structure provides a high-surface-area substrate for active material deposition. However, the 2 mm thickness and bulk density range (0.1–0.8 g/cm³) must be evaluated against the cell design and electrolyte flow requirements. The through-pore rate ≥98% ensures uniform electrolyte access.

What are the critical handling steps to avoid damaging the open-cell structure during cutting or installation?

Store in a clean, dry area and protect from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. Before cutting or bonding, inspect sheet dimensions and visible pore structure. Use appropriate cutting methods to avoid collapsing the 2 mm thick interconnected network. The material's bulk density (0.1–0.8 g/cm³) indicates it is lightweight and delicate.

This 20 PPI open-cell copper foam sheet (100×100×2 mm) provides a highly interconnected porous network with ≥98% through-pore rate and 50–80% porosity, suitable for electrode, catalyst support, and thermal management evaluations. The copper framework offers electrical and thermal conductivity, but the low-density porous structure requires careful handling and storage to avoid mechanical damage and contamination.

Positive

  • High through-pore connectivity: The ≥98% through-pore rate ensures a fully interconnected open network, maximizing internal surface exposure for electrode, catalyst-carrier, and filtration applications.
  • Copper thermal and electrical conductivity: The copper framework supports both heat transfer and electrical conduction, making the foam suitable for current-collection structures and thermal-management components.

Trade-offs

  • Mechanical fragility and handling constraints: The open-cell structure with 50–80% porosity and bulk density of 0.1–0.8 g/cm³ is vulnerable to crushing and deformation; the sheet must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact and contamination.
  • Fixed pore geometry and dimensions: The standard 20 PPI (1.27 mm pitch) and 2 mm thickness are fixed; applications requiring different pore sizes or sheet dimensions require custom order and feasibility review, introducing potential lead time.
