Nickel Plating for NiFe Batteries

I am experimenting with a design for NiFe batteries, and would like to know what kind of base material would/could be used to plate with nickel.

The plates are submersed in Potassium Hydroxide electrolyte.

A "Guess" on price would be very important. The cathode (Ni) would need to have a surface area of approximately 24 square inches.

Thanks for any response.
