Features

Corrosion Resistance: Nickel exhibits high chemical resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh alkaline (basic) environments where carbon-based GDLs would quickly oxidize and degrade.
High Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: As a metallic material, nickel felt offers superior electrical and thermal conductivity, which is essential for efficient current collection and heat management within the electrochemical device.
Unique Porous Structure: Nickel fiber felt has a three-dimensional, interconnected porous structure (high porosity, large specific surface area, and uniform pore size distribution). This structure facilitates the effective diffusion of reactant gases (e.g., hydrogen) to the catalyst layer and the efficient removal of product liquids/gases (e.g., water/oxygen).
Good Mechanical Strength: Sintered nickel felt is robust, with high mechanical strength and compressive strength, allowing it to maintain its structural integrity when compressed within an electrochemical cell assembly.
Customizability: Nickel felt can be manufactured with various thicknesses (e.g., 0.25mm to 0.45mm) and porosities (e.g., 40-90%) to meet specific application requirements.

Applications

Alkaline Water Electrolyzers (AWE): Typically used on the cathode side to promote hydrogen generation. Carbon materials are unsuitable for the oxygen-evolving anode side in electrolyzers, making nickel a critical alternative.
Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolyzers: Used as a GDL, sometimes with additional metal coatings to improve catalytic properties.
Alkaline Fuel Cells: Utilized as an electrode or diffusion layer, especially with liquid fuels and oxidants.
Metal-Air Batteries and Flow Batteries: Employed as a conductive substrate and diffusion layer.
