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 × 200 × 5 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 × 200 × 5 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 the nickel foam sheets in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and oxidation. Protect the open cellular structure from heavy impact, crushing, and debris to maintain pore integrity.

  • Environmental and Physical Protection: Store in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.

What is the typical tensile strength range of this 110 PPI nickel foam and how does it influence mechanical integrity during electrode rolling or compression?

The tensile strength is stated as 8–50 MPa, with compressive strength ≥250 kPa and mechanical strength ≥2–7 MPa. This range indicates the foam can withstand moderate rolling or compression forces typical in electrode fabrication, but the lower bound suggests careful handling to avoid tearing. The open-cell structure with ≥98% through-pore rate maintains permeability under such deformation.

Can this 110 PPI nickel foam be used as a substrate for catalyst deposition in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers?

Yes, the foam's open-cell nickel skeleton with 0.23 mm nominal pore pitch and 60–98% porosity provides a high-surface-area conductive substrate suitable for catalyst coatings. Its listed temperature resistance ≥500°C and corrosion resistance to acid/alkali conditions support integration into PEM electrolyzer environments, though specific catalyst adhesion and long-term stability should be validated under operating conditions.

What storage conditions are recommended to preserve the pore structure and surface cleanliness of this nickel foam sheet?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. The 5 mm thickness and 0.1–0.8 g/cm³ bulk density make the foam susceptible to permanent deformation under point loads; therefore, stacking should be minimized or interleaved with protective layers. After delivery, inspect package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before use.

This 110 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (100×200×5 mm) offers a high through-pore rate (≥98%) and 60–98% porosity, supporting efficient flow and surface-area-dependent applications such as battery electrodes, catalysis, and filtration, while its high-temperature resistance (>1100°C) and thermal conductivity (>3 W/(m²·K)) enable use in heat-transfer and electrochemical systems.

Positive

  • High Through-Pore Rate and Porosity: The homogeneous three-dimensional network with 60–98% porosity and ≥98% through-pore rate ensures efficient gas/liquid permeation and extensive internal surface area, ideal for electrode loading, catalysis, and filtration applications.
  • High-Temperature and Thermal Performance: Listed temperature resistance above 500°C (with capability beyond 1100°C) and a heat-transfer coefficient >3 W/(m²·K) support use in high-temperature and heat-transfer environments such as hydrogen electrolysis and heat-pipe wicks.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to Mechanical Damage: The open cellular structure must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination; physical damage can compromise the pore network and flow integrity.
