Cell Lab Porous Cobalt Foam [100 × 100 × 1 mm, for Catalysis & Electrochemical Research] – High-Porosity 3D Metal Substrate

Cell Lab Porous Cobalt Foam [100 × 100 × 1 mm, for Catalysis & Electrochemical Research] – High-Porosity 3D Metal Substrate for OER, Batteries & Supercapacitors

High-surface-area cobalt foam for advanced catalytic and electrochemical applications

The Cell Lab Porous Cobalt Foam is a high-purity, three-dimensional metallic substrate engineered for catalysis, energy storage, and electrochemical research. Featuring a highly interconnected pore network (95–98 % porosity, 110 PPI), this foam ensures superior mass transport, ion diffusion, and electron conductivity—making it ideal for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysis, battery electrodes, and supercapacitor fabrication.

With its uniform pore distribution and robust metallic framework, this cobalt foam provides excellent mechanical stability and electrochemical activity. It can act simultaneously as a structural support and active cobalt source, offering a durable and efficient platform for catalyst growth and electrode integration. Custom dimensions are available to meet specialised R&D requirements.

FAQ

Q1: Is this cobalt foam suitable for direct OER catalyst deposition?
Yes. It can serve directly as both the support and cobalt source for electrodeposited or thermally treated catalysts.

Q2: Can it be used as a current collector?
Absolutely. Its high conductivity and structural rigidity make it suitable for both anodes and cathodes.

Q3: What is the typical pore uniformity?
The foam has an average of 110 PPI, producing uniform pores of ~0.23 mm for consistent electrochemical performance.

Q4: Is custom thickness available?
Yes. Cell Lab provides tailored thicknesses (0.5–5 mm) and dimensions to meet specific research requirements.

Q5: How should it be stored?
Keep in a dry, inert environment to prevent oxidation. Light surface cleaning can restore metallic lustre if oxidised.
