ʻO ka Nickel foam kahi mea kani kani me ka hana maikaʻi loa, kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o ke kani i nā alapine kiʻekiʻe; hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ka hana ʻana o ke kani ma nā alapine haʻahaʻa ma o ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ka hoʻolālā kani. ʻO Nickel foam kekahi o nā mea electrode no ka hana ʻana i nā pihi cadmium-nickel a me nā pākahi hydrogen-nickel.

Kaʻina Hana Hana
Ua hoʻomohala maikaʻi ʻia ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka nickel foam e ka ʻenehana electrodeposition ma o nā hoʻokolohua. ʻO ka mea matrix i hoʻohana ʻia no ka nickel foam he porous open-cell foam plastic. Hiki ke hoʻomākaukau ʻia ka papa conductive e nā ʻano ʻekolu: kemika nickel plating, vacuum nickel plating a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ke kaula conductive (palladium sol, submicron graphite emulsion, etc.). Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia ka nickel mānoanoa i loko o kahi electrolyte nickel plating maʻamau, a laila hiki ke loaʻa i kahi mea hoʻoheheʻe nickel reticulated ʻekolu-dimensional me ka hana maikaʻi loa ma hope o ke puhi ʻana, hōʻemi a me nā hana annealing.
