Izinzuzo ze-Nickel Foam
Le nsimbi ingasetshenziswa ezinhlobonhlobo zemishini. Ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sici sensimbi kunganciphisa kakhulu ingozi yokugqwala kwemishini futhi kwandise impilo yesevisi yemishini ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa. Ingakwazi futhi ukuvikela indawo ezungezile futhi inciphise ukungcoliswa komoya phakathi nenqubo yokufaka isicelo. Ngenxa yezici zayo ezinama-porous, i-porosity yayo iphezulu kakhulu; ngakho-ke, ingasetshenziswa futhi njengento yokuhlunga yensimbi, ngakho-ke isetshenziswa kabanzi njengenye yezinto zokuhlunga. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-porosity ngokuyisisekelo iyunifomu, indawo ethile engaphezulu inkulu, futhi izinga lokuqoqwa liphezulu, ngakho-ke ukusebenza kahle kokuhlunga nakho kuphezulu ohlelweni lokusetshenziswa.

Ukusetshenziswa okuwusizo kwegwebu le-nickel
Njengamanje le nsimbi isetshenziswa kabanzi emikhakheni ehlukahlukene ngenxa yezinzuzo zayo eziningi. Isibonelo, ukusetshenziswa kwegwebu le-nickel kungabonakala emikhakheni evame kakhulu yezinto ezithwala igesi yokuhlanza igesi, izinto zebhethri ze-electrode, abathwali be-catalyst, izinto zokushisa zemishini ehlukahlukene yokomisa umphakathi, njll. Enye yezinhlelo zokusebenza ezibaluleke kakhulu i-hydrogen. ama-electrode okukhiqiza, lapho enza khona kangcono kunama-electrode avamile.
