Nickel foam is a highly porous, lightweight material made primarily from nickel. It features a three-dimensional, open-cell structure similar to a sponge, offering high surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, and good thermal conductivity. These properties make it suitable for various applications, including:
- Electrodes in Batteries and Supercapacitors: Its high surface area and conductivity enhance energy storage and conversion efficiency.
- Catalysis: Used as a catalyst support in chemical reactions due to its porous structure and stability.
- Filtration and Separation: Effective in filtering gases or liquids because of its porous nature.
- Heat Exchangers and Thermal Management: Its thermal conductivity makes it useful in heat dissipation applications.
- Aerospace and Automotive: Valued for its lightweight and strong structure in components requiring durability and weight reduction.
Nickel foam is produced through processes like electrodeposition or vapor deposition, often starting with a polymer foam template that is later removed. Its versatility makes it valuable in industries like energy, electronics, and environmental engineering.
