Using electroless deposition for the preparation of micron sized polymer/metal core/shell particles and hollow metal spheres

Uniform and stable core-shell microspheres composed of a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) core and a thin metallic shell of nickel-phosphorus, cobalt-phosphorus, or mixed metal alloys (CoNiP, NiFeP, CoFeP) were prepared by dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate followed by electroless plating. The presence of the metallic shell around the particles was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy images of the cross-section of individual particles show that the thickness of the metal/alloy can be precisely tuned by adjusting the immersion time of the microspheres in the electroless bath. Depending on the deposited metallic material, various magnetic properties, from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic, are achieved. Finally, uniform hollow metallic spheres composed of nickel, cobalt, or nickel-cobalt alloy are obtained by dissolving the polymer core.     

Influence of acid treatments of carbon nanotube precursors on Ni/CNT in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes

The Ni/CNT catalyst was fabricated by directly dipping carbon nanotube precursors refluxed in 4 M of nitric acid into Ni electroless plating bath, and used to synthesize new carbon nanotubes. The experimental results indicate that the duration of acid-treatment of carbon nanotubes precursors exerts a great influence on the catalysis of Ni/CNT in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and hence the structures of the new carbon nanotubes. When the carbon nanotubes precursors were refluxed for 0.5 h in 4 M of nitric acid, bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes (BSCNT) or Y junction carbon nanotubes in the carbon products were obtained. As the duration of acid-treatment of carbon nanotubes precursors increased to 6 h, the as-prepared Ni/CNT displayed higher activity, and the carbon nanotube products were high pure without any Y junction structure or any separation layers in hollow.

Template‐Synthesized Copper Nanotubes via Electroless Plating

Template synthesis method of preparing copper nanotubes via electroless plating has been investigated in this paper. The tubular structures were obtained by calcinring copper‐coated carbon nanofibers. The final products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and x‐ray diffractometer (XRD). The results show that copper nanotubes can be synthesized by this method. The inner diameter of the prepared copper nanotubes is about 100 nm, and the wall thickness is about 25 nm. In this method, it is convenient to control the dimension or the shape of the obtained copper nanotubes by using different nanofibers as templates.     

Palladium Nanotubes Formed by Lipid Tubule Templating and Their Application in Ethanol Electrocatalysis

Palladium nanotubes were fabricated by using lipid tubules as templates for the first time in a controlled manner. The positively charged lipid 1,2‐dioleoyl‐3‐trimethylammoniumpropane (DOTAP) was doped into lipid tubules to adsorb PdCl₄^2? on the tubule surfaces for further reduction. The lipid tubule formation was optimized by studying the growing dynamics and ethanol/water ratio. The DOTAP‐doped tubules showed pH stability from 0 to 14, which makes them ideal templates for metal plating. The Pd nanotubes are open‐ended with a tunable wall thickness. They exhibited good electrocatalytic performance in ethanol. Their electrochemically active surface areas were 6.5, 10.6, and 83.2 m² g^?1 for Pd nanotubes with 77, 101, and 150 nm wall thickness, respectively. These Pd nanotubes have great potential in fuel cells. The method demonstrated also opens up a way to synthesize hollow metal nanotubes.     

Simultaneous deposition of Ni nanoparticles and wires on a tubular halloysite template: A novel metallized ceramic microstructure

Tubular halloysite can be used as a template to fabricate a novel metallized ceramic microstructure through electroless plating. Reduction of Pd ions by methanol is conducted to initiate Ni plating. There is a simultaneous deposition of Ni nanoparticles on the outer surface and discontinuous wires in the lumen site of the halloysite template obtained. The different deposition could be caused by the different composition distribution of ferric oxide impurity in the wall due to the isomorphic substitution during the formation of halloysite template. Its magnetic property is mainly attributed to the Ni nanoparticles, not the wires. The metallized ceramic microstructure has the potential to be utilized as a novel magnetic material.     

Preparation and characterization of NiP amorphous alloy/ceramic composite membrane

The NiP amorphous alloy/ceramic composite membrane of high selectivity and permeability for hydrogen was prepared by a new technique of partial electroless plating. Its permeability and ideal separation factor for H₂/Ar were investigated. The results demonstrated that the permeability of the NiP amorphous alloy membrane was almost the same as that of a porous inorganic membrane, but the separation factor for H₂/Ar through the NiP membrane was obviously higher than that through a porous inorganic one. The morphology and microstructure of NiP amorphous alloy/ceramic composite membrane were characterized by SEM and XRD.     

Creation of magnetic cerasomes through electroless plating and their manipulation using external magnetic fields

Magnetic cerasome, an artificial cell membrane having ultrathin magnetic metal layers on the surface, was prepared through electroless plating of magnetic metal alloy onto an organic–inorganic vesicular nanohybrid “cerasome.” Morphological and functional characteristics of the magnetic cerasome were evaluated using various physical measurements: scanning and transmission electron microscopies, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron tomography, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The results proved that high morphological stability of the cerasome was important for constructing the magnetic lipid vesicle and that insertion of an alkylated metal ligand into the cerasome was essential to the magnetic metal alloy deposition on the cerasome surface. Fluorescence microscopic observations revealed that the magnetic cerasomes were collected reversibly on the slide glass surface and manipulated depending on external motion of a magnet. The potential use of the magnetic cerasomes as a novel vesicular nanohybrid is also described in this report.

Controllable template synthesis of Ni/Cu nanocable and Ni nanotube arrays: a one-step coelectrodeposition and electrochemical etching method

We describe a new synthetic approach to fabricate Ni/Cu nanocable arrays by co-depositing nickel and copper atoms into the pores of anodic alumina membranes and to fabricate Ni nanotube arrays by selectively etching the Cu cores from the Ni/Cu nanocable arrays. The formation of the Ni-shelled Ni/Cu nanocables is attributed to the Ni ions adsorbed on the pore walls by a chemical complexation through hydroxyl groups. By varying electrodepositon parameters in this technique, we can control the lengths of nanocables and nanotubes, the shell thickness of the nanocables, and the wall thickness and surface morphology of the nanotubes.     

化学镀镍诱发过程的研究 II.用电子能谱研究诱发过程

In the previous paper, it was reported that a sudden decrease down to -0.6V and lower in stationary potential was observed from the stationary potential-time curve and the reaction of electroless nickeling could be induced by metallic iron catalyst when it was in contact with substrate metallic copper. In this paper, AES and XPS surface analysis and depth profile technique was employed to investigate the surface and depth distribution of Ni, Cu, Fe and P in the nickel coating deposited on the substrate metal. The experimental results showed that there was a thin adsorption layer consisting of C, S and Cl. The pure electroless nickel deposition, its Ni/P ratio being about two, existed under the adsorption layer. A layer with rapidly changed Ni/P ratio occurred close to the surface of substrate metal, under this layer the substrate metal was alloyed with Ni and P, thus becoming Cu-Ni-P alloy. The ratio of components in this alloy was found to be Cu:Ni:P=56:36:5. This fact explained why the electroless nickel deposition can preferably adhered to the substrate metal. In inducing process, Fe was not detected by AES from the substrate metal and nickel deposition. Thus it showed that the inducing reaction takes place without the deposition of inducing metal.     

Influence of electroless nickel plating of hydrogen-absorbing alloys on cycle characteristics of nickel-metal hydride batteries

The effects of electroless nickel plating of a hydrogen-absorbing alloy on the cycle characteristics of a nickel-metal hydride battery were investigated. The cycle life was improved by employing an electroless nickel-plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode, which retained the same high-rate level and low-temperature characteristics compared to a cell using a non-plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy. The electroless nickel-plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy provided better electrochemical characteristics when its surface was partly and tightly covered by nickel particles under optimal electroless plating conditions.     

镍-磷/纳米碳管化学复合镀层的研究

The electroless Ni-P-carbon nanotubes composite plating was studied on the copper substrate. Metallurgical microscope, scanning electronic microscope, X-ray diffractometer and micro hardness tester were used to study the structure, constitution and performance of the electroless Ni-P-carbon nanotubes composite deposit. Experiential results show that, with the increment of carbon nanotubes content in electroless plating solution, the grain size on the sample surface decreases whereas the density of grains and the hardness for composite deposit increases. Moreover, adding carbon nanotubes not only improves the degree of crystallization for the composite deposit but also helps their transformation from the amorphous state to the nanocrystal state.     

Catalytic functions of Mo/Ni/MgO in the synthesis of thin carbon nanotubes

The functions and structures of Mo/Ni/MgO catalysts in the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Thin 2-5-walled CNTs with high purities (over 90%) have been successfully synthesized by catalytic decomposition of CH(4) over Mo/Ni/MgO catalysts at 1073 K. It has been found that the yield of CNTs as well as the outer diameter or thickness correlates well with the contents of these three elements. The three components Mo, Ni, and MgO are all necessary to synthesize the thin CNTs at high yields since no catalytic activity was observed for CNT synthesis when one of these components was not present. The outer diameter of the CNTs increases from 4 to 13 nm and the thickness of graphene layers also increases with increasing Mo content at a fixed Ni content, while the inner diameter stays at 2-3 nm regardless of their contents. Furthermore, the average outer diameter is in good agreement with the average particle size of metal catalyst. That is, the thickness or the outer diameter can be controlled by selecting the composition of the Mo/Ni/MgO catalysts. XRD analyses have shown that Mo and Ni form a Mo-Ni alloy before CNT synthesis, while the Mo-Ni alloy phase is separated into Mo carbide and Ni. These alloy particles are supported on MgO cubic particles 15-20 nm in width. It has been found that only small Mo-Ni alloy particles 2-16 nm in size catalyze CNT synthesis, with larger particles over 15 nm exhibiting no activity. Mo carbide and Ni should play different roles in the synthesis of the thin CNTs, in which Ni is responsible for the dissociation of CH(4) into carbon and Mo(2)C works as a carbon reservoir.
