Nickel foam o se mea fa'alogo sili ona lelei ma le maualuga o le fa'aogaina o le leo i laina maualuga; o lona leo absorption faatinoga i ala maualalo e mafai ona faaleleia e ala i le mamanu o le fausaga acoustic. O le foam nikeli o se tasi lea o mea e sili atu le eletise mo le gaosiga o maa cadmium-nickel ma maa hydrogen-nickel. Nickel foam e masani ona faʻaaogaina e avea ma mea eletise mo maʻa, aemaise lava mo maa NiMH, lea e faʻaaogaina lautele i komepiuta komepiuta, telefoni feaveaʻi, sikola eletise, uila eletise ma taavale faʻafefe.

O le foam nikeli e fa'aaogaina e fai ma mea faamama, o se fa'aulu fa'amaneta mo le fa'afoeina o vaega maneta i vai. O isi talosaga e aofia ai le faʻaogaina o faʻasalalauga faʻapipiʻi hydrogen, faʻasalalauga vevela. Nickel foam o se mea e sili ona lelei e fa'afefe ai le leo fa'atasi ai ma le maualuga o le fa'aogaina o le leo i laina maualuga; o lona leo absorption faatinoga i ala maualalo e mafai ona faaleleia e ala i le mamanu o le fausaga leo-absorption.
O le foam nikeli o se tasi lea o mea e sili atu le eletise mo le gaosiga o maa cadmium-nickel ma hydrogen-nickel. O le faagasologa o le saunia o le nickel foam e ala i le electrodeposition technology na faʻaleleia lelei e ala i faʻataʻitaʻiga. O le mea substrate o loʻo faʻaaogaina o le porous foam tatala-cell foam, e faʻaaoga ai vailaʻau nickel plateing, vacuum nickel plateing ma lofu conductive gel tolu auala e mafai ona saunia conductive layer, e ala i le muai-plating nickel e mafai ona faʻapipiʻiina i se masani nickel sulfate plating electrolyte nickel mafiafia, pe a uma. mu, fa'aitiitia. A maeʻa ona susunuina, faʻaitiitiga, faʻagasologa o le annealing e mafai ona maua le faʻatinoga sili ona lelei o mea faʻafu nickel
