Abstract: An innovative fuel cell system with membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) includes a polymer electrolyte membrane, a gas diffusion layer (GDL) made of porous metal foam, and a catalyst layer. A fuel cell has a metal foam layer that improves efficiency and lifetime of the conventional gas diffusion layer, which consists of both gas diffusion barrier (GDB) and microporous layer (MPL). This metal foam GDL enables consistent maintenance of the suitable structure and even distribution of pores during the operation. Due to the combination of mechanical and physical properties of metallic foam, the fuel cell is not deformed by external physical strain. Among many other processing methods of open-cell metal foams, ice-templating provides a cheap, easy processing route suitable for mass production. Furthermore, it provides well-aligned and long channel pores, which improve gas and water flow during the operation of the fuel cell.

Abstract: A sodium-chloride-space-holder process with two-step heat treatment is used to create an open-porous metal foam (e.g., titanium foam) with a high porosity of about 70 to 90 percent for use in load-bearing applications. A mechanically reliable titanium foam is manufactured using a space-holder method containing two-step heat treatment where a sodium chloride powder is first sieved for desired pore size range, mixed with titanium powder, and compacted under pressure at high temperature. An additional heat treatment is applied to further strengthen the chemical bonding between the titanium particles after the removal of sodium chloride in water to create pores. This process uses a pneumatic pressing machine in combination with a furnace under an argon gas to simultaneously apply both the pressure and temperature. The resulting titanium foam is chemically well bonded and has enhanced durability for proper used in structural applications.

Abstract: A gas sensing device is manufactured with three dimensionally connected metal oxide foam structure of large surface area and elongated channel pores within the three-dimensional porous structure for gas sensing applications, thereby increasing the surface area of the sensing layer and expediting sensitivity and sensor response. A gas sensor device includes the fabricated metal-oxide-foam sensing material attached via silver paste to platinum electrodes and ruthenium heater that are printed on low temperature co-fired ceramic substrate. This device will provide improved gas sensing performance with improved sensitivity and response time. Gas sensors including the metal oxide foam sensing material exhibit higher sensitivity to toxic gases such as ethanol and carbon monoxide due to the large surface area achieved from the porous three-dimensional structure providing increased chemical reaction sites and the larger porous channels allowing gases to easily pass, shortening the gas diffusion reaction path.

Abstract: An electrode for the use of an advanced lithium battery is fabricated using three-dimensionally structured metal foam coated with an active material. The metal foam is porous metal foam that can be used as an anode current collector of a lithium-ion battery and is coated with an anode active material, such as tin, through a sonication-assisted electroless plating method. Additionally, the coated metal foam is heat-treated at an appropriate temperature in order to improve the integrity of the coating layer and hence, the cyclic performance of the lithium-ion battery.

Abstract: A three-dimensional metallic foam is fabricated with an active oxide material for use as an anode for lithium batteries. The porous metal foam, which can be fabricated by a freeze-casting process, is used as the anode current collector of the lithium battery. The porous metal foam can be heat-treated to form an active oxide material to form on the surface of the metal foam. The oxide material acts as the three-dimensional active material that reacts with lithium ions during charging and discharging.

Abstract: The successful fabrication of alloy foam (or porous alloy) is very rare, despite their potentially better properties and wider applicability than pure metallic foams. The processing of three-dimensional copper-nickel alloy foams is achieved through a strategic solid-solution alloying method based on oxide powder reduction or sintering processes, or both. Solid-solution alloy foams with five different compositions are successfully created, resulting in open-pore structures with varied porosity. The corrosion resistance of the synthesized copper-nickel alloy foams is superior to those of the pure copper and nickel foams.
