Commodity: Metals
Purity:
99.5%
Nickel Foam, also known as Ni Foam, is highly regarded for its unique three-dimensional porous structure, which provides high porosity (between 93% and 95%), low density, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. These properties make Nickel Foam an ideal material for a wide range of applications, including energy storage and conversion, catalytic processes, and sensors. In the energy sector, it is extensively used as a substrate for electrodes in batteries and fuel cells, enhancing their performance and efficiency. Nickel Foam’s high surface area and mechanical strength also make it suitable for use in catalytic converters and filtration systems. Goodfellow supplies this advanced material, ensuring it meets stringent industry standards and delivers consistent, high-quality results. The foam’s versatility and reliability make it a preferred choice for cutting-edge technological applications. Goodfellow’s Nickel Foam is engineered to support innovative solutions in various industrial fields.
