“…Until the 1980s core–shell Pd/Sn colloids that weakly physisorb to low surface energy materials such as polymers functioned almost exclusively as EL catalysts. − Weak binding of these catalysts often necessitated surface roughening to enhance EL metal adhesion via mechanical interlocking effects, limiting feature resolution . During the 1980s and 1990s the NRL group explored the use of ligand organosiloxane SAMs chemisorbed to substrates to enable plating .…”

The electroless plating of metals and their alloys, oxides, and chalcogenides represents a critically important technology for the automotive, aerospace, machine tools, and, especially, the electronics industries. Since the initial efforts involving the plating of industrially important metals, such as Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, and Au, in the mid-20th century, the process has evolved to encompass a growing number of elements. At the same time, this expansion in the palette of accessible metals has enabled progress in these industries and evoked new nonconventional applications. In this review, we collect and survey available electroless processes in aqueous and organic solvent systems for each element organized according to position in the Periodic Table as a resource for the reader. Examples illustrating progress in the field are presented and are described in sufficient detail to be useful and understandable for both the expert and nonexpert. Given the historical importance of electronics as a driver for development of electroless processes, examples are electronics-related where possible. However, we strive to also include examples of applications in nontraditional fields to provide the reader with a sense of generality available for electroless methods. The review closes with an outlook for the field and a challenge to scientists and engineers to adapt electroless processes for new applications to continue the growth of the field.

“…The process can be carried out in electrolyte solutions as well as in molten salts and ionic liquids. Electroless deposition, whereby instead of passing current from an external device the process is driven by another oxidation-reduction process in the solution, is also well-known and widely used [2][3][4][5] for example in the microelectronic industry. The simplest approach for ED comprises the reduction and deposition of metal ions (Eq.…”

“…In the view of deposition process, magnetic coatings can be deposited by several techniques such as physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes and wet methods by electrochemical or electroless technique. However, among these techniques electroless deposition method can be considered to be the most suitable method because of its possibility to achieve uniform surface coverage and ability to produce large area of coating [10,11].…”
