Nanosized single and multiple layers of electroless Ni films were deposited on Fe film. The multilayer films consisting of a Fe/(Ni1 Ni2)n structure, where Ni1 and Ni2 denote various electroless Ni films deposited in plating baths with different pH values, and n denotes layer numbers and equals to 2, 4, 8, and 16, were formed by alternately changing the pH value of plating baths under controlled deposition time during the deposition process. The ensuing results showed that the boundaries between films are almost even. The deposition of various electroless Ni films on Fe film can increase the coercivity and squareness ratio of Fe film.

Hypothesis: The small size of the nanoparticles used to obtain high surface area photocatalysts makes their removal from solution difficult. Producing photocatalysts on substrates would alleviate this limitation. Adding heterojunctions to photocatalysts, for example, TiO/Ag, could improve photocatalytic performance due to Schottky junction formation and introduce antibacterial properties.

Plasmonic nanoparticles have intriguing optical properties which make them suitable candidates for sensing or theranostic applications. Anisotropic patchy particles, where metal is locally deposited on the surface of a core particle, exhibit plasmon resonances that can be specifically adjusted for these applications. However, many existing synthesis routes are complex, yield too little material, or provide particles with limited optical tunability.

The exceptional super elasticity and corrosion-resistance of Ni-Ti alloys have attracted a lot of attention and interest lately for a wide range of applications, and complex alloy components could be prepared effectively by different preparation techniques. Ni(P), Ni-Ti(P), Ni-Zr(P), and Ni-Ti -Zr(P) binary, ternary, and quaternary alloys were coated on mild steel by electroless deposition which is a method of plating metallic films on a substrate by the reduction of metallic complex ions in solution with the aid of reducing agent from an alkaline bath. The ternary Ni-Ti-Zr(P) alloy is considered to be one of the most promising high-temperature SMAs.

Compared to traditional lithium metal batteries, anode-free lithium metal batteries use bare current collectors as an anode instead of Li metal, making them highly promising for mass production and achieving high-energy density. The current collector, as the sole component of the anode, is crucial in lithium deposition-stripping behavior and greatly impacts the rate of Li depletion from the cathode. In this study, to investigate the lithiophilicity effect of the current collector on the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film construction and cycling performance of anode-free lithium batteries, various lightweight paper-based current collectors were prepared by electroless plating Cu and lipophilic Ag on low-dust paper (LDP).
