Description
xCell Lab Porous Nickel Foam [300 × 200 mm, 1.6 mm Thickness, 97% Porosity] – High-Performance Conductive Substrate for Battery & Catalytic Research
High-surface-area nickel foam for advanced energy storage, water splitting, and electrochemical R&D
The Cell Lab Porous Nickel Foam is a battery-grade, high-conductivity metallic substrate designed for energy storage and catalytic research. With its 3D interconnected pore structure, 97% porosity, and superior mechanical strength, this nickel foam provides outstanding performance as a current collector, catalyst support, or electrode framework.
Ideal for lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis, it ensures efficient ion transport, gas diffusion, and long-term cycling stability. Its chemical durability and machinability make it an essential material for academic and industrial laboratories focused on energy materials innovation.
Key Features
