The use of three different materials, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and thioglycolic acid, was investigated to improve the performance of electroless nickel-plating baths. By changing the concentrations of these materials, sample plates were coated. Optical microscope images were obtained by selecting representative coated plates. From the results of the investigations, the effects of these materials on electroless nickel plating were observed, and the most appropriate amounts of these materials for nickel plating were determined. Moreover, the nickel plating speed observed with the bath solution containing 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and thioglycolic acid is higher than that in the case of traditional electroless plating baths, but the nickel consumption amount in the former case is lower. In order to minimize the waste water generated from electroless nickel-plating baths, we determined the lowest amounts of the chemicals that can be used for the concentrations reported in the literature.

AbstractDecomposition of a palladium compound by ion irradiation has been used to catalyze electroless plating on polyimide. First, palladium-acetylacetonate or -acetate is spin-coated on a polyimide substrate. The thin resist film is then irradiated through a mask with He or Ar ions of 100 keV energy. After washing off the film parts which were not exposed to the ion beam, copper is deposited on the catalyzed polyimide substrate in an alkaline electroless plating bath. When using alkaline resistant polyimide, copper lines several microns thick can be plated. The chemical surface composition of the Pd-compounds after ion beam exposure has been investigated with ESCA. It has been found that the Pd is partially reduced. Pd-acetate is more effective to form catalytic sites than Pd-acetylacetonate.

Electroless Silver Plating

The Ag coating was deposited on the surface of Al-Ag alloy powder by electroless plating process. 10 wt% of AgNO3 was put in the powder for precursor replacement reaction, and then added the powder into electroless plating bath which contained glucose solution, solution of silver ammonia, thiourea solution, tartaric acid solution and absolute ethanol. The effects of formula components were analyzed. The surface morphology of the prepared composite particles was studied with SEM and their chemical compositions were confirmed by XRD. With the chemical etching method, silver content of the powder was determined. The studies have shown that an uniform, complete and dense silver coating for the Al-Ag composite powders was generated by this method, with the silver content being 20wt%, and the conductivity was favorable.

The aim of the present investigation is to study the formation of electroless Ni-B-P alloy coatings and structural and morphological characterization of various coatings with different boron and phosphorous content. An alkaline plating bath with nickel chloride hexahydrate as the source of nickel ions and sodium borohydride and sodium hypophosphite as reducing agents were used for the formation of electroless Ni-B-P alloy coatings. The influence of changes in the concentrations of the reducing agents in the electroless plating bath on the chemical composition, structural and morphological characteristics of the coatings were studied. Scanning electron microscopic studies revealed that the surface morphology of Ni-B-P alloy coatings changed from corn cob-like structure to cauliflower-like structure with increasing borohydride concentration in electroless plating bath, whereas increase in hypophosphite concentration favoured sideway growth, thereby decreased the surface roughness of the Ni-B-P alloy coatings. The peak broadening in the X-Ray Diffraction profiles indicates the large reduction in the crystallite size of the electroless Ni-B-P alloy coatings with increasing boron content in the coating (i.e. for higher borohydride concentration in the plating bath).

AbstractCreating hybrid nanostructures of disparate nanoscale blocks is of interest of exploring new types of electronic devices and networks. Here, we demonstrate the novel coupling of gold nanoparticles of 3-4 nm diameters to sidewall of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) using the electroless plating technique. MWNTs were initially chemically modified with an H2SO4-HNO3 acid treatment, and subsequently activated with Pd-Sn catalytic nuclei via a one-step activation approach. When the activated MWNTs were immersed in a gold-containing electroless plating bath, gold deposition occurred at the catalytic sites. The deposited gold clusters then catalyze further gold deposition on the tube surface (autocatalytic process). Novel hybrid nanostructures with gold nanoparticles homogeneously distributed on MWNTs resulted. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the conjugation process.

In this study, the dependence of Pd/GaAs Schottky diode on the electroless plating (EP) variable is systematically studied. Both alkaline and acidic formulas for electroless Pd depositions are employed for investigations. The correlation between Pd gain size and the manipulation of plating bath composition is constructed. Experimental results show that the performances of Pd/GaAs Schottky diode, electric rectification and hydrogen detection, are largely governed by the Pd grain size. Furthermore, without the interference of sodium ion, the acidic-plated Pd/GaAs diode with intermediate oxide layer exhibits the excellent hydrogen sensing performances from 15 ppm to 1.0 % H2/air.

Catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a high efficient and low-polluted technique. In this paper, the palladium-based combustion catalysts on cordierite honeycomb ceramics (CHC) substrate without interlayer film — Pd/CHC, were prepared by electroless plating method, and the effect of preparing conditions for the catalysts on the catalytic performance of toluene combustion was mainly studied. The optimal conditions were confirmed as follows: plating bath temperature is 60°C, plating time is 30min, palladium salt concentrationis 0.2g/L, and calcination temperature after plating is 500°C. Finally, the stability test further indicated that the Pd/CHC catalyst prepared by the optimal electroless plating conditions has good catalytic stability.
