Nickel-coated graphite is manufactured by encapsulating low-density graphite particles with high purity nickel, consistently achieving excellent coverage of the graphite substrate. This results in a lightweight and conductive filler, suitable for a wide range of applications.
This is a highly versatile material used in a broad range of industries and applications, including:
- Electromagnetic shielding: Nickel-coated graphite is an effective electromagnetic shielding material, used in products such as electronic devices, aircraft, and military equipment
- Conductive fillers: Nickel-coated graphite is used as a conductive filler in polymer composites, improving their electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness, such as in conductive gaskets and sealants
- Self-lubricating materials: Nickel-coated graphite is used as a self-lubricating material in bearings, gears, and other mechanical components
- Electrocatalysis: Nickel-coated graphite is used as an electrocatalyst in fuel cells and other electrochemical devices
- Energy Storage: Within high-performance lithium and sodium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, flow batteries and thermal energy storage
PI-KEM and PI-KEM Hart offer two standard grades of nickel-coated graphite:
- 60% nickel weight
- 75% nickel weight
Customised variations can be manufactured for specific requirements.
