Nickel Foam for Industrial and Laboratory Applications

Application   

Nickel foam, a member of the "porous metal" family, is a lightweight, multifunctional material with a three-dimensional network structure. Its specific gravity is only 0.2~0.3, which is very light compared with other materials. This foam has excellent sound-absorbing, heat-conducting and filtering capabilities due to its porous network. It has a high porosity of 96-98%, maintaining the favorable properties of nickel while being lighter in weight. These properties make nickel foam a functional new material with diverse applications.

• Chemical Power Sources: Enhances Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, and fuel cell batteries, doubling performance. Ideal for lithium batteries in phones, computers, scooters, etc.
• Chemical Engineering: Used as catalyst, filter medium, and separator in purifiers, reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency.
• Electrochemical Engineering: Improves energy efficiency in hydrogen production, electrocatalysis, and metallurgy.
• Thermal Engineering: Efficient heat-conducting material, doubles heat pipe efficiency.
• Functional Materials: Absorbs wave energy, provides noise reduction, vibration absorption, electromagnetic shielding, flame retardant, and heat insulation.
• Applications include exhaust gas purifiers, battery electrodes, catalyst carriers, infrared burners, and heating materials.

Advantages

• Ultra-light quality: It has a specific surface area and a specific gravity of 0.2~0.3, which is 1/4 of water, 1/3 of wood, 1/10 of metal aluminum, and 1/30 of iron. The quality is ultra-light.
• Sound absorption: The porous structure has wide frequency sound absorption characteristics.
• Electron wave shielding: Through relatively thin thickness, it shields about 90dB of electronic waves.
• Processability: Can be cut, bent, and easily pasted.
• Fire resistance: maintain stable shape, difficult to burn at high temperature, high temperature resistance.
• Recycling: Metal scrap materials can be recycled.
• Breathable: The homogeneous three-dimensional mesh structure has the function of filtering, and the flow stability of gas and fluid is super strong.
• Sound insulation: Through additional processing, a high noise interception can be obtained, and the sound insulation effect is good.
• Sophisticated on the outside, practical on the inside: through a wide range of finishes, suitable for interior decoration.
• High temperature resistance: above 600 degrees, resistant to various acid and alkali corrosion, good permeability, uniform pore structure, fast heating and heat transfer.
