 Green Car Congress: New Nickel Foam Plant in China a Boost to its Battery Industry
This gas decomposes back to nickel metal and carbon monoxide when heated to about 150ºC. Inco passes polyurethane foam through an atmosphere of nickel carbonyl and then heats the polyurethane with infra-red heaters, decomposing the nickel carbonyl back to nickel on the surface of the polyurethane.
The foam is then plated in a nickel bath in an analogous manner to typical electroplating of parts for corrosion resistance or decorative purposes.
Electroplated nickel foam tends to have an uneven distribution of nickel, with thicker Ni strands near surface and weaker stands in the middle due to the edge effect of current distribution during electroplating.

Among these, polypyridyl nickel complexes have been reported to act as effective catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide, carbonylation of alkyl and aryl halides and hydroformylation reactions.
