Nickel Foam - T 0.9mm 300mm x 300mm

Details

SKU: 1000142058 Product Code: NI00-FA-000140
Nickel Foam is a 3D open-cell porous structure composed of pure nickel, offering high electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. Its large surface-to-volume ratio and interconnected ligaments make it ideal for applications requiring efficient electron and mass transport. This material is foundational in energy storage (battery electrodes), fuel cells (GDLs, flow fields), catalysis (support structures), EMI shielding, and hydrogen production. Nickel foam supports uniform catalyst deposition and gas diffusion, significantly enhancing electrochemical performance in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), direct liquid fuel cells (DLFCs), and supercapacitors. Advances in directional porosity and compression tuning allow tailored performance for thermal management and chemical reactivity. Nickel foam also demonstrates anisotropic mechanical behavior, valuable in load-bearing and dynamic systems. Its use in next-generation power systems and electrochemical interfaces underscores its importance in both industrial energy solutions and fundamental materials science.
