Nickel Electrode Mesh for Hydrogen Generation Suitable for PEM Electrolyzer and Electrochemical Cells
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory — a trusted manufacturer since 1998, specializing in high-performance wire mesh solutions. Our Nickel Electrode Mesh for Hydrogen Generation is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of PEM electrolyzers and electrochemical cells, delivering exceptional conductivity and corrosion resistance. With over two decades of experience and annual export values exceeding US$5 million, we are proud to supply global markets with reliable, custom-designed mesh products that enhance electrolysis efficiency.
This nickel electrode mesh is meticulously fabricated from high-purity nickel (Nickel 200/201), ensuring optimal performance in acidic and alkaline environments. Whether you are scaling up green hydrogen production, optimizing laboratory cells, or integrating into industrial electrolysis stacks, our mesh provides uniform current distribution and long service life. Available in both expanded and woven configurations, it offers flexibility in design while maintaining structural integrity under high current densities.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Purity Nickel: Nickel 200/201 (>99.6% Ni) ensures excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion by hydrogen, oxygen, and electrolyte solutions.
- Customizable Mesh Geometry: Available as expanded mesh (diamond-shaped openings) or woven mesh (square openings) — both options can be tailored to your required opening size, thickness, and sheet dimensions.
- Optimized for PEM Electrolyzers: Low electrical resistance and high surface area promote efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with minimal overpotential.
- Durable Construction: Cold-rolled nickel strips are precision expanded or woven to maintain consistent thickness (±0.02mm) and uniform opening distribution, ensuring repeatable performance.
- Versatile Surface Options: Plain, uncoated mesh is standard; we also offer optional surface treatments such as nickel oxide coating, platinum activation, or proprietary corrosion-resistant layers upon request.
- Wide Size Range: Thickness from 0.1mm to 2.0mm, opening sizes from 0.5mm to 5mm, width up to 2000mm, and length per roll or cut-to-size sheets.

Advantages & Customer Benefits
- Enhanced Hydrogen Production Efficiency: The high surface area and low electrical resistance reduce energy consumption per Nm³ of hydrogen, directly improving your electrolyzer’s overall efficiency.
- Long-Term Durability: Nickel’s inherent corrosion resistance in both acidic (PEM) and alkaline environments minimizes degradation, extending the mesh’s lifespan and reducing replacement costs.
- Tailored for Your System: We offer custom sizes and geometries to perfectly fit your cell stack design, eliminating the need for additional cutting or modification.
- Reliable Current Distribution: The uniform mesh structure ensures even current flow across the electrode, preventing hot spots and improving gas evolution uniformity.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to precious metal-coated electrodes, our pure nickel mesh provides a balance of performance and affordability, ideal for both R&D and large-scale production.
Our nickel electrode mesh has been widely adopted in proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, alkaline water electrolysis, and electrochemical cells for hydrogen generation, as well as in chlor-alkali industry, metal recovery, and laboratory research. The mesh’s open structure allows efficient gas bubble release and electrolyte circulation, further enhancing reaction kinetics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the purity of nickel used in your electrode mesh?
A: We use Nickel 200 (99.6% min) and Nickel 201 (99.6% min, low carbon) depending on application requirements. Both grades offer excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity.
Q2: Can this mesh be used in both PEM and alkaline electrolyzers?
A: Yes. Nickel is stable in the acidic environment of PEM electrolyzers (with proper coating if needed) and also in alkaline conditions. For PEM, we recommend plain nickel mesh or optionally coated with a thin layer of platinum or iridium for enhanced catalytic activity.
Q3: Do you offer custom sizes and shapes?
A: Absolutely. We can cut the mesh to any dimensions (length, width, circular, square, etc.) and also provide custom opening sizes and thicknesses. Just provide your drawing or specifications.
Q4: What is the typical lead time for orders?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 7-15 days after confirmation. For custom orders, it may take 15-25 days depending on complexity. We also offer expedited shipping for urgent projects.
Q5: Do you provide free samples for testing?
A: Yes, we provide free samples of standard mesh for evaluation. The customer only needs to pay for shipping. Contact our sales team to arrange a sample request.
Q6: Can I get a surface treatment like platinum coating?
A: Yes, we offer optional surface treatments including platinum, iridium, nickel oxide, or other catalytic coatings. These are available upon request and can significantly improve HER/OER performance. Please specify your requirements.
Q7: How do you ensure the mesh quality?
A: We have strict in-house QC procedures including dimensional checks, thickness measurement, tensile strength test, and visual inspection. We also provide a material certificate upon request. Our factory is experienced in export quality standards.
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard mesh, MOQ is 1 roll or 10 square meters. For custom orders, MOQ may vary depending on the complexity. We are flexible and welcome small trial orders for new customers.
