Applications Of Copper Foam

1. Electrode materials.
Copper foam's high electrical conductivity makes it popular as an electrode framework material for new batteries such as nickel-zinc batteries and electric double-layer capacitors. Many nickel-zinc battery manufacturers are currently testing and mass-producing copper foam. Simultaneously, foam Copper is expected to gain popularity as an electric current collector for electric double-layer capacitors. Furthermore, the use of foamed copper as an electrode material for electrolytic recovery of copper-containing wastewater has a wide range of applications.

2. Catalyst.
People have attempted to directly use copper foam with a large specific surface area to replace the punched copper plate as a chemical reaction catalyst in many organic chemical reactions; copper foam has also been successfully used as a photocatalytic air purification carrier.

3. Thermally conductive material.
Copper foam has excellent thermal conductivity, making it an excellent flame retardant material. It has been used in advanced firefighting equipment in other countries, particularly as a flame insulation device. Furthermore, people make use of copper foam's excellent thermal conductivity. In addition, apparent permeability was used to create a heat dissipation material for motors and appliances.

4. Silence and shielding materials.
Sound waves diffusely reflect on the surface of foamed copper and achieve the effect of sound attenuation through the principle of expansion and sound attenuation, microporous sound attenuation; copper’s shielding performance is close to silver, which is excellent electromagnetic shielding material.

5. Filter material.
Excellent structural characteristics and harmless human body foamed metal copper products have been successfully used as medical filter materials. At the same time, the application of foamed copper in water purification devices also has a promising future.

6. Fluid pressure buffer material.
The dispersion and buffering effect of copper foam on fluid make it an excellent protection device for various pressure instruments.
