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.

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.

A new surface pre-treatment procedure has been developed in one of our laboratories [1] for electroless nickel (EN) plating, which appears to be an effective and environmentally benign treatment for the following deposition of a sound and high quality surface nickel coating with good adhesion. For that purpose, the aluminium substrate was immersed in a mildly acidic solution (lactic acid) of sodium hypophosphite in order to modify the passive surface and make it suitable for the reductive chemical precipitation of the nickel-phosphorus nuclei from the electroless nickel plating bath. During this novel pre-treatment technique, the surface adsorption of the hypophosphite anions play an important role therefore several advanced surface testing and analytical techniques (Scanning Electron Microscopy-SEM, Transmission Electron Microscopy-TEM, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry-EDX, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy-XPS were applied in order to monitor and characterize the surface reactions and adsorption phenomena taking place during the pre-treatment. The Al excited XPS (studying P 2p, O 1s, C 1s, Al 2p, Ni 2p photoelectron lines) proved to be one of the most powerful technique in the identification of the chemical species formed and present on the surfaces examined in this study.
