Izinsimbi ezinegwebu zihlanganisa i-aluminium, i-nickel nama-alloys azo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-copper foamed nayo inendawo ethile yokuthuthukiswa.
Igwebu le-aluminium kanye nama-alloys alo anesisindo esilula futhi anezici zokumuncwa komsindo, ukuvala ukushisa, ukudambisa ukudlidliza, ukumuncwa amandla okushaqeka kanye nokumuncwa kwamagagasi kagesi, njll. Afanele izendlalelo zokuvikela umthelela zemicibisholo, izindiza nezingxenye zazo ezitholiwe, imoto. ama-buffers, amadivaysi e-electro-mechanical vibration damping, i-pulse Power electromagnetic wave shield, njll.

Igwebu le-nickel linokungena komoya okuphezulu, indawo ethile ephezulu kanye namandla e-capillary ngenxa yesakhiwo sayo se-pore esixhunyiwe kanye ne-porosity ephezulu. Isetshenziswa kakhulu njengento esebenzayo yokwenza izihlungi eziwuketshezi, ama-atomizer, ama-catalysts, amapuleti e-electrode yebhethri kanye nesishintshi sokushisa njll.

I-Copper foamed ine-conductivity enhle kanye ne-ductility, futhi izindleko zayo zokulungiselela ziphansi kune-nickel foam, futhi ukuqhutshwa kwayo kagesi kungcono. Ingasetshenziselwa ukulungisa i-electrode engalungile yebhethri (inkampani yenethiwekhi), izithwali ze-catalyst kanye nezinto zokuvikela i-electromagnetic. Ikakhulukazi, ukusetshenziswa kwethusi elinegwebu njengento eyisisekelo ye-electrode yebhethri kunezinzuzo ezithile ezisobala, kodwa ukumelana nokugqwala kwethusi akukuhle njengalokho kwe-nickel, okukhawulela ezinye zezicelo zayo.
