Improved Hydrogenation Kinetics of TiMn1.52 Alloy Coated with Palladium through Electroless Deposition

Ni-B Coating Production on Magnesium Alloy by Electroless Deposition

The use of magnesium alloys is limited due to their susceptibility to corrosion although they have many attractive physical and mechanical properties. To increase mechanical and corrosion properties of these alloys, many deposition method and coating types are used. Electroless Ni–B coatings have received considerable interest recently due to its unique properties such as cost-effectiveness, th...

Surface modification of battery electrodes via electroless deposition with improved performance for Na-ion batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as potential stationary energy storage devices due to the abundance and low cost of sodium. A simple and energy efficient strategy to develop electrodes for SIBs with a high charge/discharge rate is highly desirable. Here we demonstrate that by surface modification of Ge, using electroless deposition in SbCl3/ionic liquids, the stability and performance ...

High Pressure Hydrogen Permeance of Porous Stainless Steel Coated with a Thin Palladium Film via Electroless Plating

The high-pressure (100-2500 kPa) hydrogen permeance of two membranes, each composed of a thin palladium film (~22 μm) deposited on the oxidized surface of a porous stainless steel tubular substrate (0.2 μm grade support) has been determined over the 623 – 723 K temperature range. The hydrogen flux was proportional to the H2 partial pressure in the retentate raised to an exponent of ~0.55 for on...

Highly selective derivative spectrophotometric determination of palladium(II) in hydrogenation catalysts and alloy samples

A simple, selective and sensitive derivative spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of palladium(II) using a newly synthesised reagent diacetylmonoxime-(p-anisyl)-thiosemicarbazone in acetic acid medium. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of the coloured species are 3.8 × 10 L mol cm and 2.8 ng cm, respectively. Beer’s law is obeyed between 0.2-2.0 μg m...
