O le foam uamea o loʻo i ai uiga o le tele o mea faʻapitoa i luga o le fogaeleele, lelei le lelei ma le maualuga o le vevela, ma e iai mea lelei hydromechanical. E matua taua tele i le catalytic tali o kasa ma vai. I le tali fa'anatura, e mafai ona fa'aogaina sa'o se u'amea fa'avae nickel po'o le kopa fa'avae, po'o se u'amea fo'i e mafai ona fa'aaogaina e fai ma mea fa'apipi'i, ma e mafai fo'i ona fa'apipi'i isi mea fa'apipi'i i luga ole laiga. O le tu'ufa'atasi photocatalytic foam u'amea tip nanocomposite tekinolosi fa'apipi'iina uiga sili ona lelei o mea nanophotocatalytic mea ma nickel foam, ma o se lagolago photocatalytic mea aoga maua e ala i le uta tutusa o se aofaiga patino o nano-Tio2 i luga o le foamed nickel substrate. E mafai ona fa'aaogaina foam nikeli e avea o se photocatalyst sili ona lelei ona o lona tulaga tulaga tolu-dimensional fesootaiga fausaga. O lo'o iai fa'amoemoega fa'atatau ile tolu-auala catalyse ole ta'avale ta'avale, vaila'au fa'afoma'i fa'afoma'i, fa'aleagaina o mea fa'aleaganu'u i vai otaota, aveesea o kasa inorganic leaga ma le fa'amamaina o le ea.
