Description

RETICULATED METAL FOAM 30–140 PPI ≥98% THROUGH-POROSITY SUBSTRATE

RESEARCH GRADE MATERIAL

Product Overview

Engineered for advanced electrochemical and thermo-fluidic research, this Reticulated Metal Foam serves as a high-performance conductive porous media with exceptional structural homogeneity. The substrate achieves a 98% through-porosity, eliminating closed-cell barriers to ensure unimpeded fluid or gas permeation for filtration studies. The interconnected three-dimensional network provides a significantly enhanced specific surface area, making it an optimal electrode current collector substrate for next-generation Ni-Zn batteries and supercapacitors. With a precisely controlled pore density range of 30–140 PPI, this foam facilitates uniform current distribution and catalytic loading, delivering reproducible results in demanding R&D environments.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Maximized Electrochemical Surface Area: The 3D reticulated structure provides a significantly larger specific surface area compared to flat substrates or traditional meshes, enhancing charge transfer kinetics in cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling.
  • True Open-Cell Permeability: Guaranteeing ≥98% through-porosity, this conductive porous media eliminates stagnation zones, ensuring uniform fluid flow and mass transport in flow batteries and catalytic filtration reactors.
  • Broad-Frequency Acoustic Attenuation: The stochastic micro-pore geometry effectively traps and dissipates acoustic energy via viscous friction, providing superior noise reduction for high-frequency electronic component enclosures.
  • Hybrid Thermal-Mechanical Performance: Exhibiting excellent electrical conductivity alongside flame-arresting properties, the foam serves as a dual-purpose heat spreader and fire-retardant barrier for battery pack safety.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Validated for use as an electrode skeleton in Ni-Zn batteries and electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs). Compatible as a high-surface-area catalyst carrier in fixed-bed reactors and as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding core in sensitive analytical instrumentation. Suitable for inert atmosphere liquid filtration and dynamic pressure dampening in relief valves.
PACKAGING: Supplied as a single monolithic sheet (500 × 500 mm). The surface is passivated against atmospheric oxidation. The product is vacuum-sealed within a low-outgassing polyethylene bag and placed between rigid protective plates to prevent mechanical deformation of the delicate micro-porous structure during transit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: For extreme high-temperature electrochemical applications (T > 300°C), pre-treatment of the metal foam in a reducing atmosphere is recommended to remove surface oxides. To preserve the 98% through-hole structural integrity, manual handling must utilize vacuum pickup tools; lateral mechanical gripping may collapse edge pores. Store in a desiccator or glovebox immediately after unsealing to prevent moisture adsorption.
