Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 30 PPI, 200 × 200 × 10 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 200 × 200 × 10 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.

Application Scope

Suitable for laboratory and engineering evaluations that require a 30 PPI open nickel network in a 200 × 200 × 10 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 area to prevent moisture-induced degradation. Protect the open cellular surface from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to maintain structural integrity.

  • Storage and Handling: Store in a clean, dry environment and avoid mechanical deformation or contamination.

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 a nominal pore pitch of approximately 0.85 mm, creating a regular open network with extensive internal surface exposure. With a porosity range of 60–98% and a through-pore rate of at least 98%, this foam provides high permeability for gas and liquid flow while maintaining sufficient surface area for catalytic contact or electrode loading. Compared to higher PPI foams (smaller pores), the 30 PPI variant offers lower flow resistance at the expense of reduced geometric surface area per volume, making it suitable for applications where convective transport is critical, such as in flow-through electrodes or filtration media.

Is this nickel foam compatible with alkaline electrolytes used in hydrogen electrolysis and battery applications?

Yes, the foamed nickel matrix is resistant to both acid and alkali conditions as stated in the product specifications, with a listed temperature resistance of ≥500°C and high-temperature capability >1100°C. This makes it suitable for use in alkaline electrolysis cells, nickel-metal-hydride batteries, and nickel-cadmium batteries where the electrolyte is typically potassium hydroxide (KOH). The open-cell structure also supports efficient gas evolution and electrolyte wetting, which are critical for electrode performance in these systems.

What storage and handling precautions are recommended to preserve the structural integrity of this 10 mm thick nickel foam sheet?

The sheets should be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to prevent deformation or clogging of the open-pore network. After delivery, inspect the package condition, sheet dimensions, and visible pore structure before cutting, bonding, or installing the material. The foam can be cut, bent, or bonded for downstream fabrication, but care should be taken to avoid compressive forces that could collapse the cellular structure, as the compressive strength is ≥250 kPa and mechanical strength is ≥2–7 MPa.

This 30 PPI open-cell nickel foam in a 200×200×10 mm sheet combines a continuous conductive nickel skeleton with a ≥98% through-pore network and 60–98% porosity, making it suitable for battery electrodes, filtration, catalysis, and heat-transfer assemblies, provided the crush-sensitive cellular surface is handled carefully and application-specific chemical limits are validated.

Positive

  • High through-pore open-cell structure: With ≥98% through-pore rate and 60–98% porosity, this foam allows gases, liquids, and electrochemical reactants to move through the 3D network, supporting filtration, catalytic contact, electrode loading, and heat-transfer applications.
  • Lightweight high-temperature metal matrix: Specific gravity of 0.2–0.3 and documented temperature resistance above 1100°C enable low-mass assemblies that retain structural continuity and thermal stability for high-temperature and heat-transfer applications.

Trade-offs

  • Crush-sensitive open-pore structure: The open cellular surface must be stored in a clean, dry area and protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to preserve the pore structure and flow characteristics required for reproducible performance.
  • Environment-dependent chemical compatibility: Listed acid/alkali and high-temperature resistance is general; buyers must confirm corrosion, temperature, mechanical, and integration requirements for the specific operating environment before ordering or installing the material.
