FAQ

Q1: What advantages does aluminium foam offer over copper or nickel foam?
It provides a lighter structure, higher heat dissipation, and lower cost, though with slightly reduced electrical conductivity.

Q2: Can the porosity or thickness be customised?
Yes. Both pore size and foam thickness can be adjusted upon request to suit specific research or engineering needs.

Q3: Is it suitable for high-temperature or vacuum use?
Yes. Aluminium foam performs well under thermal and vacuum conditions up to several hundred degrees Celsius.

Q4: Does it require surface cleaning before use?
If oxidation is present, the foam can be gently cleaned with diluted acid or ethanol prior to application.

Q5: Can it serve as a current collector in batteries?
Yes. Its high conductivity and porosity make it a promising 3D current collector for metal–air or solid-state systems.
