Nickel 200 Electrode Mesh 100 Mesh 0.1mm Wire for Hydrogen Generation PEM Electrolyzer
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, established in 1998, is a reliable manufacturer specializing in custom wire mesh solutions. With an annual export value of US$5 million to US$10 million, we serve diverse global markets including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Our Nickel 200 Electrode Mesh (100 mesh, 0.1mm wire) is specifically designed for PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolyzers used in green hydrogen production. This high-purity nickel mesh offers excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making it an ideal electrode material for efficient water splitting. Backed by decades of weaving expertise, we deliver consistent mesh quality and dimensional accuracy to meet the rigorous demands of electrolyzer manufacturers.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Purity: Made from Nickel 200 (UNS N02200), a commercially pure nickel grade with >99.6% Ni content, ensuring minimal impurity contamination in the electrolysis process.
- Mesh Configuration: Plain weave with 100 mesh count (100 openings per linear inch), providing a balanced combination of mechanical strength and surface area for catalytic reactions.
- Wire Diameter: 0.1 mm (approximately 0.004 inch), offering low electrical resistance while maintaining structural integrity.
- Opening Size: 0.154 mm, allowing efficient gas bubble release and electrolyte flow through the electrode.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in roll widths from 0.5m to 2.0m, and cut-to-size sheets for specific electrolyzer cell designs.
- Surface Finish: Standard plain finish; optional flattening, annealing, or coating (e.g., platinum, iridium) available upon request.

Advantages for PEM Electrolyzer Applications
- Enhanced Catalytic Activity: The high surface area of the 100 mesh structure provides more active sites for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) when combined with appropriate catalysts.
- Low Overpotential: Nickel 200's intrinsic conductivity reduces ohmic losses, improving overall electrolyzer efficiency.
- Excellent Durability: The mesh withstands corrosive acidic (e.g., Nafion membrane) and alkaline environments typical in PEM systems.
- Uniform Current Distribution: The woven structure ensures even current flow across the electrode surface, preventing hot spots.
- Easy Integration: Can be cut, welded, or laminated to fit existing cell designs; we also offer custom slitting services.
Each roll is inspected for mesh count consistency, wire diameter tolerance, and surface cleanliness. Our quality control process includes visual inspection, tensile testing, and dimensional verification. We also offer sample evaluation (small rolls or sheets) for R&D purposes. Shipping is available from multiple ports: Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Foshan with flexible logistics options.

We invite you to request a quote or sample to test the performance of our Nickel 200 electrode mesh in your PEM system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between Nickel 200 and Nickel 201 mesh?
Nickel 200 has a maximum carbon content of 0.15%, while Nickel 201 has ≤0.02% carbon. Nickel 200 is suitable for most electrolyzer applications operating below 300°C; for higher temperature or severe intergranular corrosion conditions, Nickel 201 is recommended. Our standard for PEM electrolyzers is Nickel 200, but we can supply Nickel 201 upon request.
Q2: Can this mesh be used directly as an electrode without coating?
Yes, bare Nickel 200 mesh can serve as a cathode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline conditions. For PEM electrolyzers with acidic membrane, nickel is often used as a substrate with a noble metal catalyst coating (e.g., Pt, IrO₂) to improve performance. We can supply uncoated mesh for you to apply your own coating.
Q3: What are the typical dimensions available?
Standard roll width is 1.0m (other widths from 0.5m to 2.0m are available). Standard roll length is 30m, 50m, or 100m. We also cut to exact sheet sizes (e.g., 200mm x 300mm) per your drawing.
Q4: How does the mesh opening size affect electrolyzer performance?
A larger opening (lower mesh count) allows faster gas release but reduces surface area. A smaller opening (higher mesh count) increases surface area but may cause bubble trapping. The 100 mesh with 0.1mm wire is a balanced choice for lab-scale and pilot PEM electrolyzers. We can adjust mesh parameters based on your cell design and operating conditions.
Q5: What packaging is used for export?
We use strong plywood pallets or steel-frame crates for mesh rolls. Each roll is wrapped in moisture-proof paper and plastic film. For small sheets, we use carton boxes with foam padding. All packaging meets international shipping standards.
Q6: Do you provide samples for testing?
Yes, we offer sample rolls (e.g., 0.1m x 1m) or sample sheets. The sample cost is reasonable, and we can deduct it from the first bulk order. Please contact our sales team with your requirements.
Q7: What is the lead time for bulk orders?
For standard specifications (100 mesh, 0.1mm wire), lead time is typically 10–15 working days after order confirmation. Custom sizes may require 15–20 working days. We can expedite for urgent orders, subject to availability.
Q8: Is the mesh annealed or as-woven?
Our standard product is supplied in the as-woven condition (without annealing). Annealing can be performed on request to improve ductility and reduce residual stress. Please specify if you need annealed mesh.
