Description
xCell Lab Porous 316 Stainless Steel Foam Sheet [250 × 250 × 1 mm] – Durable Conductive Substrate for Catalysis & Electrochemical Research
High-strength and corrosion-resistant porous stainless steel for fuel cell, electrolysis, and catalytic applications
The Cell Lab Porous 316 Stainless Steel Foam Sheet is a robust conductive substrate developed for electrocatalysis, microbial fuel cells, and electrochemical research. Featuring a 3D interconnected pore network with 30–35% porosity, it delivers excellent electron transport, mechanical stability, and chemical resistance under harsh operating environments.
Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel, this foam combines superior corrosion protection with high conductivity, making it ideal for current collectors, catalyst supports, and electrode reinforcement structures in battery, fuel cell, and water electrolysis systems. Custom dimensions and porosities can be tailored to meet specific laboratory or pilot-scale requirements.

FAQ
Q1: Why use 316 stainless steel for electrochemical research?
316SS provides superior corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, making it ideal for long-term use in electrolyte environments.
Q2: Can this foam be used in alkaline and acidic media?
Yes. It exhibits strong chemical resistance across a broad pH range, including both acidic and basic electrolytes.
Q3: Is it suitable as a current collector?
Yes. Its high conductivity and rigidity make it a reliable current collector for electrochemical cells.
Q4: Can the pore size and thickness be customised?
Yes. Cell Lab offers tailored production for different porosities and thicknesses based on specific experimental needs.
Q5: Does it require surface treatment before coating catalysts?
For best adhesion, mild surface roughening or ultrasonic cleaning is recommended before catalyst deposition.
