Macroporous Nickel Foam is a porous metallic material with interconnected large pores, high surface area, good electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical stability. It is mainly used as electrode substrate, catalyst carrier, filtration material, heat dissipation structure, battery current collector, hydrogen production electrode, and functional support material in energy and industrial applications.

The industrial chain of Macroporous Nickel Foam covers upstream nickel materials, conductive substrates, foaming templates, plating chemicals, binders, heat treatment equipment, and cutting tools. The midstream consists of substrate preparation, electroplating, pore formation, sintering, cleaning, rolling, cutting, and performance testing. Downstream applications mainly include batteries, hydrogen energy, catalysts, filtration, electronics, thermal management, and advanced material research.

New‑energy battery manufacturing, electrochemical reaction and catalyst carrier fields boost the demand for macroporous nickel foam. Its three‑dimensional porous structure provides large specific surface area for efficient energy transmission and reaction. High‑purity production technology optimizes conductivity and structural stability for industrial applications.
