The invention provides a nickel foam and a method of forming a nickel foam for a nickel containing battery. An open-cell foam structure is placed in a nickel carbonyl gas containing structure. The foam structure is heated to a temperature at which nickel carbonyl decomposes. Nickel from the nickel carbonyl gas decomposes on the foam structure to form a nickel plated foam structure. The nickel plated foam structure is then sintered leaving an open-cell nickel network to form the nickel foam. The open-cells of the nickel foam comprise substantially hollow nickel wires having a substantially uniform transverse cross-section. The nickel foam is further characterized by the conductivity through …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 14, 1990 and granted September 9, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 14, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 14, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
