Application Development of Celmet™

Advantage

1Current collector

Large surface area and high porosity improve battery performance.

Electrode current collector of Ni-MH battery

Merit

Advantages of Applying Celmet™

• High porosity can increase the amount of active material per unit area, and improve cell capacity.
• Compared to sintered metal foam, Celmet™ increases productivity of the electrode due to paste filling system.

2Grease filter

Large surface area improve oil-collection performance and
high porosity reduce the pressure loss.

Merit

Advantages of Applying Celmet™

Collection performance

• Compared to baffle filter, Celmet™ has higher collection performance due to its large surface area.

Recyclability

• The material (nickel) can be repeatedly used by alkaline washing.

Strength and safety

• Compared to ceramic filter, Celmet™ is durable and can be used repeatedly.
• Compared to metal fiber or ceramic, Celmet™ has less chipping and mechanical degradation, improving safety.
• Compared to baffle filter of stainless steel, Celmet™ has better fireproof performance due to lower thermal conductivity.

Weight saving

• The weight is one-third of baffle filter.

3Catalyst carrier

Large surface area increase catalyst carrier amount and high porosity reduce the pressure loss.

Merit

Advantages of Applying Celmet™

Improve performance

• Compared to ceramics, the amount of catalyst carrier is increased due to its large surface area.

Low pressure loss

• Compared to porous alumina, Celmet™ has better in balance between low pressure loss and high catalyst carrier.

Durability and strength

• Compared to ceramic filter, Celmet™ is durable and can be used repeatedly.

4Electrodes of water electrolysis

Large surface area increase the amount of hydrogen generation.

Merit

Advantages of Applying Celmet™

Reduction of hydrogen overvoltage

• Hydrogen generation capability is proportional to surface area of ​​electrode.
• Compared to lath or mesh, Celmet™ reduces hydrogen overvoltage.

Improvement in hydrogen generation efficiency

• Compared to lath or mesh, the amount of hydrogen generated at the same current density is increased.
