Cell Lab Porous Aluminium Foam [100 × 100 × 4 mm, for Battery & Thermal Applications]

Cell Lab Porous Aluminium Foam [100 × 100 × 4 mm, for Battery & Thermal Applications] – Lightweight High-Porosity Metal Substrate for Energy Research

Rigid, conductive, and thermally stable aluminium foam for battery, catalysis, and heat-management studies

The Cell Lab Porous Aluminium Foam is a lightweight, rigid, and high-surface-area metallic material engineered for electrochemical and energy applications. With a porosity range of 68–78% and pore size of approximately 1.6 mm, it offers excellent gas and electrolyte permeability, enabling efficient ion transport and thermal regulation.

Thanks to its low density (0.6–0.85 g/cm³) and strong mechanical stability, this foam serves as a versatile substrate for battery anode research, catalyst support, heat-dissipation layers, and acoustic damping components. It is particularly suited for energy storage, catalysis, and sensor development, where both electrical conductivity and weight reduction are essential.

FAQ

Q1: Can this foam be used as a current collector in batteries?
Yes. Its high conductivity and structural rigidity make it suitable for metallic anodes and current collectors.

Q2: What’s the typical porosity range?
Between 68–78%, ensuring optimal permeability and surface area balance.

Q3: Can thickness or pore size be customised?
Yes. Cell Lab provides tailored geometries for experimental or scale-up research.

Q4: Is it compatible with high-temperature processes?
Yes. It retains integrity up to 600 °C in air and above 400 °C in vacuum or inert conditions.

Q5: How should it be stored?
Keep in a dry environment to avoid surface oxidation; light brushing restores metallic lustre if oxidised.
