Nickel 200/201 Strips/Shims

Nickel 200/201, which are commercially pure nickel grades, find applications in various industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal and electrical conductivity. In the context of lithium batteries, these nickel grades can be utilized in the form of strips and shims for specific purposes:

1. Current Collectors:

   • Strips: Nickel 200/201 strips can be employed as current collectors in lithium batteries. These strips provide a conductive pathway for the flow of electrons during both discharge and recharge cycles.
   • Shims: Shims made from nickel can be used to ensure proper spacing and alignment of battery components, helping maintain electrical conductivity and structural integrity within the battery assembly.

2. Anode and Cathode Materials:

   • Strips: Nickel strips can be used as a substrate for the deposition of active materials in both the anode and cathode of lithium batteries. This helps enhance the adhesion of active materials and improves overall electrode performance.
   • Shims: Nickel shims can contribute to maintaining the dimensional stability of electrodes, preventing deformation and ensuring consistent performance during the charge-discharge cycles.

3. Heat Dissipation:

   • Strips: Nickel strips, with their high thermal conductivity, can be incorporated into the battery design to aid in heat dissipation. This is crucial for preventing overheating during high-power applications and ensuring the longevity of the battery.

4. Connector and Tab Material:

   • Strips: Nickel strips are commonly used as connectors and tabs in the assembly of lithium battery packs. They provide a reliable electrical connection between individual cells and facilitate the transfer of current between cells.

5. Corrosion Resistance:

   • Strips: The corrosion-resistant properties of Nickel 200/201 make them suitable for use in the harsh chemical environment within lithium batteries, contributing to the long-term stability and reliability of the battery system.

6. Spacer and Insulation:

   • Shims: Nickel shims can be employed as spacers and insulating elements within the battery structure. They help in maintaining the proper distance between components, preventing short circuits and ensuring the safety of the battery.
