Igwebu le-nickel lingasetshenziswa njengento yokuhlunga, i-conductor flow magnetic yokubhekana nezinhlayiya kazibuthe oketshezini. Ezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza zifaka phakathi ukusetshenziswa kwe-hydrogen yokugcina izilandiso nezilandiso zokushintshanisa ukushisa. I-nickel foam iyinto ebamba umsindo esebenza kahle kakhulu, ene-coefficient ephezulu yokumunca umsindo kuma-frequency aphezulu; ukusebenza kwayo okumunca umsindo kumaza aphansi kungafinyelelwa ngomklamo wesakhiwo esimunca umsindo. Igwebu le-nickel futhi lingenye yezinto ezinhle ze-electrode zokwenza amabhethri e-cadmium-nickel namabhethri e-hydrogen-nickel. Inqubo yokulungisa igwebu le-nickel nge-electro-deposition technique yathuthukiswa ngempumelelo ngokuhlolwa. Izinto eziyisisekelo ezisetshenziswayo ipulasitiki yegwebu elivulekile le-porous cell. Isendlalelo se-conductive singalungiswa ngezindlela ezintathu: i-chemical nickel plating, i-vacuum nickel plating kanye ne-adhesive conductive yokucwiliswa. Ngemuva kwe-pre-nicking, ingafakwa kusisombululo esivamile se-sulfate nickel plating. I-Nickel, ngemva kokushiswa, ukuphulukiswa kanye nenqubo yokufaka i-annealing, ingathola impahla ye-nickel foam ngokusebenza okuhle kakhulu.
