Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Nickel foam ma ke ʻano he mea kānana, kahi mea hoʻoheheʻe magnetic no ka hana ʻana i nā ʻāpana magnetic i nā wai. Hoʻopili ʻia nā noi ʻē aʻe i nā predicates mālama hydrogen a me nā predicates hoʻololi wela. ʻO ka Nickel foam kahi mea kani me ka hana maikaʻi loa, a he kiʻekiʻe ke kani kani i nā alapine kiʻekiʻe; hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia kāna hana kani kani i nā alapine haʻahaʻa ma o ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka hoʻolālā kani. ʻO Nickel foam kekahi o nā mea electrode maikaʻi no ka hana ʻana i nā pihi cadmium-nickel a me nā pākahi hydrogen-nickel. Ua hoʻomohala maikaʻi ʻia ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka nickel foam e ka ʻenehana electro-deposition ma o nā hoʻokolohua. ʻO ka mea kumu i hoʻohana ʻia he porous open-cell foam plastic. Hiki ke hoʻomākaukau ʻia ka papa conductive e nā ʻano ʻekolu: chemical nickel plating, vacuum nickel plating and immersion conductive adhesive. Ma hope o ka pre-nicking, hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kahi hopena nickel plating maʻamau. ʻO Nickel, ma hope o ka puhi ʻana, ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana a me ke kaʻina hana annealing, hiki ke loaʻa i nā mea nickel foam me ka hana maikaʻi loa.
