Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 30 PPI, 100 × 200 × 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 × 200 × 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 × 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 sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination. Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to preserve structural integrity.

  • Storage Requirement: Store the sheets in a clean, dry area.
  • Mechanical Protection: Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination.
  • Pre-Use Inspection: After delivery, check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.

Follow these steps to safely store and inspect the nickel foam sheets before use. Proper handling ensures the porous structure remains intact and free from contamination.

  1. Store in Clean Dry Area
    Store the sheets in a clean, dry area to prevent moisture and dust contamination.
  2. Inspect Package and Dimensions
    Check the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material.
  3. Protect from Impact and Crushing
    Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during handling and storage.

How does the 30 PPI pore density of this nickel foam balance permeability and surface area for electrochemical applications?

The 30 PPI specification corresponds to an approximate 0.85 mm nominal pore pitch, providing a balance between open flow and internal surface exposure. With porosity ranging from 60–98% and a through-pore rate ≥98%, the structure allows efficient reactant transport while maintaining extensive surface area for catalytic or electrode loading. This makes it suitable for battery electrodes, fuel cells, and electrocatalysis where both mass transfer and active site density are critical.

Is this nickel foam chemically compatible with alkaline electrolytes used in hydrogen electrolysis?

Yes, the foamed nickel material is listed as resistant to acid and alkali conditions, making it suitable for alkaline electrolysis environments. The open-cell nickel skeleton provides electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance needed for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions. However, confirm operating temperature and specific electrolyte concentration against the material's listed temperature resistance (≥500°C) and mechanical strength (≥2–7 MPa) before integration.

What storage and handling precautions are required to preserve the structural integrity of this 30 PPI nickel foam sheet?

Store the sheets in a clean, dry area and protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination. After delivery, inspect package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing. The foam can be cut, bent, or bonded for downstream fabrication, but care should be taken to avoid collapsing the open-pore network.

This 30 PPI nickel foam sheet (100×200×5 mm) provides a high-porosity (60–98%) open network with ≥98% through-pore rate, low bulk density (0.1–0.8 g/cm³), and high-temperature resistance (>1100°C), making it suitable for electrode, catalyst, and filtration research; however, its compressive strength (≥250 kPa) and handling sensitivity require careful application and storage.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: 60–98% porosity with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures efficient gas/liquid transport and extensive internal surface exposure for electrochemical and catalytic applications.
  • Lightweight and high-temperature resistant: Specific gravity of 0.2–0.3 (about one-tenth of aluminum) and temperature resistance above 1100°C enable lightweight, high-temperature-capable structures.

Trade-offs

  • Sensitive to handling and contamination: Open cellular surface must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination; clean, dry storage is required.
  • Low compressive strength: Compressive strength is only ≥250 kPa, limiting structural load-bearing applications; the material is intended for porous, non-structural uses.
