Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 30 PPI, 100 × 100 × 5 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 30 PPI is a lightweight, electrically conductive porous-metal sheet built around a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton. In this 100 × 100 × 5 mm format, the approximately 0.85 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.

Suitable for laboratory and engineering evaluations that require a 30 PPI open nickel network in a 100 × 100 × 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.

The open-cell nickel foam sheet requires storage in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination and structural damage. The material must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and excessive bending to maintain its open-cell network integrity.

  • Storage Condition: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area protected from humidity and dust.
  • Handling Precautions: Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during handling and installation.
  • Processing Capability: The nickel foam can be cut, bent, or bonded using standard metalworking tools while preserving the open-cell structure.
  • Application Compatibility: Verify corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance, and mechanical integration with the intended application environment before use.
  • Post-Delivery Inspection: Inspect package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure after delivery before cutting or bonding.

What is the typical tensile strength range of the 30 PPI nickel foam, and how does it affect handling during electrode fabrication?

The tensile strength of this open-cell nickel foam ranges from 8 to 50 MPa as stated in the technical specifications. This range allows the sheet to be cut, bent, or bonded without tearing under normal handling, but the lower bound indicates that aggressive bending or clamping should be avoided to prevent mechanical failure during electrode assembly.

Is this nickel foam suitable for use as a catalyst support in acidic electrolysis environments such as proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers?

Yes, the foam is listed as resistant to acid and alkali conditions, making it a candidate for acidic electrolysis applications. Its high porosity (60–98%) and ≥98% through-pore rate provide extensive surface area for catalyst loading, though specific compatibility testing with the intended electrolyte and operating conditions is recommended before deployment.

What precautions should be taken when cutting the nickel foam to avoid collapsing the pore structure?

The foam should be cut with sharp tools such as scissors or a blade while avoiding heavy impact or crushing forces, as its compressive strength is ≥250 kPa. Gentle, shearing cuts preserve the open-cell network, and the material should be stored in a clean, dry area protected from contamination and deformation after cutting.

Atomfair's 30 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (100×100×5 mm) offers a high-porosity (60–98%), thermally conductive (>3 W/(m²·K)), and electrically conductive metallic network with ≥98% through-pore rate, suitable for electrochemical electrodes, catalyst carriers, and heat-transfer assemblies, but requires careful handling to avoid mechanical damage and contamination, and application-specific verification of corrosion and temperature compatibility.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: Porosity of 60–98% with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures extensive internal surface exposure and unimpeded flow of gases and liquids, critical for electrochemical and filtration efficiency.
  • Thermal and mechanical versatility: Heat-transfer coefficient >3 W/(m²·K) and ability to be cut, bent, or bonded allow integration into thermal management, electrode, and structural assemblies while maintaining open-cell pathways.

Trade-offs

  • Susceptible to mechanical damage and contamination: The open cellular surface must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination, requiring careful handling during lab deployment.
  • Application-specific verification required before ordering: Buyers must confirm corrosion resistance, temperature limits, mechanical loads, and integration compatibility for their intended use, as standard specs may not cover all operating conditions.
