Apheros metal foams' unique properties enable innovations beyond cold plates and electrodes.

Potential applications are...
- Battery materials (i.e. electrodes and current collectors)
- Apheros metal foams have high potential as performance-enhancing battery components. Their unique microstructure can offer improved energy density, power output, and cycle life by facilitating efficient ion transport, improving heat dissipation, and delivering structural support.
- Carbon capture and utilization (CCU)
- Turning CO2 into ethylene or ethanol requires a highly selective and efficient catalyst to perform the crucial carbon-carbon coupling. Copper is the premier catalyst for this transformation. Our ultra-porous copper foam structure is uniquely suited for this reaction and is being tested with R&D partners.
- Further cooling solutions
- Apheros materials are ideal as wicks for heat pipes and vapor chambers
- thin profile
- increased wicking speed
- a higher number of nucleation sites
- Apheros materials are ideal as wicks for heat pipes and vapor chambers
