Electroless (autocatalytic) plating involves the presence of a chemical reducing agent in solution to reduce metallic ions to the metal state. The name electroless is somewhat misleading, however. There are no external electrodes present, but there is electric current (charge transfer) involved. Instead of an anode, the metal is supplied by the metal salt; replenishment is achieved by adding either salt or an external loop with an anode of the corresponding metal that has higher efficiency than the cathode. There is therefore, instead of a cathode to reduce the metal, a substrate serving as the cathode, while the electrons are provided by a reducing agent. The process takes place only on catalytic surfaces rather than throughout the solution (if the process is not properly controlled, the reduction can take place throughout the solution, possibly on particles of dust or of catalytic metals, with undesirable results).Brenner and Riddell [
