Ni foam is fully metallic, highly conductive scaffold, and its interconnected network of pores gives it a very high surface to volume ratio, and its open porosity allows smooth gas diffusion through the electrode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNickel foam has a wide range of applications, it’s highly recommended for catalyst deposition in anion exchange membrane (AEM) or alkaline water electrolysis systems. Ni foam is also a go-to scaffold in nickel-based, lithium-sulfur, lithium- air, and sodium-air battery applications, and hybrid supercapacitors. Ni foam has further uses in general electrocatalysis benchmarking, as well as uses outside of electrochemistry such as filtration and heat exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur nickel foam is produced by electrodepositing nickel onto a polymer foam template, which is then burned or dissolved away and the remaining nickel skeleton sintered at high temperature. This leaves a self-supporting metallic foam that retains the open, interconnected pore structure of the original polymer template.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Limitation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even though nickel is stable and widely used in alkaline an aprotic media, it corrodes readily in acidic electrolytes. If your application involves a PEM or acidic system, carbon paper, carbon cloth, or titanium-based substrate would be the better alternative instead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row
