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.

The Ni-Mo alloy coatings with a high content of Mo up to 44.5 at.%, were prepared by galvanostatic electrodeposition in the range of deposition current density, jdep, from-30 to-240 mA cm-2 from the nickel plating bath containing potassium pyrophosphate, nickel chloride, sodium molybdate, and sodium bicarbonate. Investigations of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were carried out in 5 M KOH solution at room temperature using steady-state polarization and electrochemical impedancy spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. It was found that for the Ni-Mo alloy coatings, the increase in their catalytic properties towards the HER with the increase in the value of jdep of the coatings, was due to the intrinsic activity.

A zero-emission electroless nickel plating bath was investigated, which consisted of nickel hypophosphite, hypophosphorous acid, lithium acetate, citric acid and maleic acid. The bath stability, bath life and plating rate were 68.0[Formula: see text]min, 8 cycles and 13.39[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m/h, respectively. The Ni–P plating layer showed smooth appearance with lots of small continuous nodules, with 12.23[Formula: see text]wt.% phosphorus content. The electrochemical measurements showed that the deposit exhibited excellent corrosion resistance. All of these properties of the zero-emission plating bath and its deposit were better than those of the popular plating solution and its layer. It is most significant that the spent plating bath can be used directly as a raw material to prepare LiFePO4/C materials, which conforms to the concept of circular economy.

To increase the manufacture efficiency of electroplated diamond tools, a nickel plating solution containing ammonium sulphate and sodium formate was investigated. The effects of concentration of ammonium sulphate, sodium formate and pH value on throwing power, covering power, ability to resist Cu2+ contamination and deposit microhardness were studied. Surface topography of deposits was also observed by SEM. Compared to watts bath, the plating solution studied is advantageous in terms of the performance of plating solution, deposit hardness and diamond bit behavior. Ammonium sulphate can refine deposit crystal grains and result in crystal form change.

Porous Ni-P alloy coatings were prepared by galvanostatic electrodeposition at the deposition current density ofjdep= -250 mA cm-2from the nickel plating bath of the Watts type containing different content of sodium hypophosphite. Investigations of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) were carried out in 5 M KOH solution at room temperature.Acimpedance behavior of the electrodes was described using electrical equivalent circuits containing two constant-phase elements (two-CPEs electrode model). The results obtained from the EIS and steady-state measurements allowed to determine the Volmer-Heyrovský mechanism and kinetics of the HER. It was found that for the Ni-P alloy coatings deposited from the galvanic baths after addition of sodium hypophosphite in the amount of 5, 10, 20 and 30 g dm-3, the decrease in their catalytic activity towards the HER is observed due to diminishing of intrinsic activity of the electrodes.
