Laboratory Open-Cell Nickel Foam, 40 PPI, 100 × 100 × 20 mm, 1/5 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Open-cell nickel foam with 40 PPI is a lightweight, electrically conductive porous-metal sheet built around a continuous three-dimensional nickel skeleton. In this 100 × 100 × 20 mm format, the approximately 0.64 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 40 PPI open nickel network in a 100 × 100 × 20 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 must be stored in a clean, dry area to prevent contamination and degradation of the porous structure. The cellular surface requires protection from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination to maintain its structural integrity and performance.

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

How does the 40 PPI pore density and 0.64 mm nominal pore pitch influence the trade-off between fluid permeability and electrochemical surface area in this nickel foam?

The 40 PPI structure with approximately 0.64 mm nominal pore pitch creates a regular open network with extensive internal surface exposure while maintaining a through-pore rate of at least 98% and porosity between 60–98%. This allows gases, liquids, and electrochemical reactants to move through the material rather than remaining confined to outer faces, providing a useful balance of permeability, formability, and structural continuity for battery electrodes, catalyst carriers, and filtration applications.

What is the maximum operating temperature this nickel foam can withstand in high-temperature applications?

The listed temperature resistance is at least 500°C, with a high-temperature capability exceeding 1100°C. The nickel matrix provides a fire-resistant, recyclable metallic structure that maintains integrity under high-temperature and acid/alkali conditions, making it suitable for applications such as infrared-burner surfaces, heat-pipe wicks, and condenser heat-transfer media.

What storage and handling precautions are necessary to preserve the open-cell structure of this 20 mm thick nickel foam?

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. The foam can be cut, bent, and bonded for downstream fabrication while preserving the open pathways needed for filtration, catalytic contact, electrode loading, and heat transfer.

This 40 PPI open-cell nickel foam sheet (100 × 100 × 20 mm) provides a continuous three-dimensional network with ≥98% through-pore rate and 60–98% porosity, making it suitable for electrochemical electrodes, catalyst carriers, and filtration media. Its moderate mechanical strength (tensile 8–50 MPa, compressive ≥250 kPa) and sensitivity to crushing require careful handling and storage.

Positive

  • High porosity and through-pore rate: Porosity of 60–98% with ≥98% through-pore rate ensures excellent fluid permeability and extensive internal surface area for electrochemical reactions, filtration, and catalytic contact.
  • Thermal and electrical conductivity: The nickel matrix provides a heat-transfer coefficient >3 W/(m²·K) and electrical conductivity, enabling rapid thermal response and use as an electrode substrate in batteries and fuel cells.

Trade-offs

  • Moderate mechanical strength: Tensile strength ranges from 8 to 50 MPa and compressive strength is ≥250 kPa, limiting use in high-load structural applications and requiring careful handling during fabrication.
  • Sensitivity to impact and crushing: The open-cell structure must be protected from heavy impact, crushing, and contamination during storage and handling to preserve pore integrity and performance.
