Open-Cell Nickel Foam 110 PPI 100×200×3 mm ATOMFAIR®

Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 110 PPI, 100 × 200 × 3 mm, 1/5 pcs

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 × 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 × 200 × 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.

How does the 110 PPI pore density affect the balance between surface area and mechanical strength for electrode applications?

The 110 PPI (0.23 mm nominal pore pitch) provides a high surface area with a through-pore rate ≥98% and porosity of 60–98%, but the tensile strength ranges from 8–50 MPa and compressive strength is ≥250 kPa. This open-cell structure allows good electrolyte flow and reactant access, though the relatively low bulk density (0.1–0.8 g/cm³) means mechanical support may be needed for high-pressure or load-bearing electrode assemblies.

Is this nickel foam suitable for use in acidic or alkaline electrolysis environments?

Yes, the nickel matrix is listed as resistant to acid/alkali conditions and can withstand temperatures ≥500°C with capability beyond 1100°C. The foam is explicitly recommended for hydrogen electrolysis, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical metallurgy. However, confirm specific pH, concentration, and temperature limits with the manufacturer for your exact electrolyte chemistry.

What is the recommended method for cutting or bonding this nickel foam without collapsing the pore structure?

The foam can be cut, bent, and bonded using standard fabrication techniques; the interconnected nickel skeleton maintains structural continuity when handled properly. Store in a clean, dry area and protect from heavy impact or crushing before use. For bonding, conductive adhesives or welding methods compatible with nickel are suitable, and the open-cell network remains intact if cutting tools are sharp and applied with minimal deformation.

Assessment

This 110 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (100×200×3 mm) provides a high-permeability, low-mass metallic network with a nominal pore pitch of 0.23 mm, suitable for electrochemical electrodes, filtration, and heat-transfer applications. Its stated thermal tolerance up to >1100°C and corrosion resistance support deployment in aggressive high-temperature environments, though the delicate cellular structure demands careful handling and integration support.

Positive

High through-pore open-cell network: The 110 PPI structure with 0.23 mm nominal pore pitch and a stated ≥98% through-pore rate enables efficient gas/liquid flow and extensive internal surface area for catalytic, filtration, and electrochemical reactions.
High-temperature and corrosion resistance: Nickel matrix withstands temperatures above 500°C (up to >1100°C) and resists acid/alkali conditions, making it suitable for high-temperature electrochemical, catalytic, and metallurgical processes.

Trade-offs

Requires careful handling to prevent damage: The open cellular structure is susceptible to crushing and contamination; storage in a clean, dry area and protection from heavy impact are essential to preserve pore integrity and material performance.
Limited mechanical strength under load: With tensile strength in the 8–50 MPa range and compressive strength ≥250 kPa, the foam may deform under mechanical stress; it should be integrated into assemblies with adequate support or used in non-load-bearing roles.
