An Electrochemical Study Of The Effects Of Chelating Agents And Additives On Electroless Copper Plating, Xin Gu, Zhou-Cheng Wang, Chang-Jian Lin

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this study, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (Na2EDTA), triethanolamine(TEA), and 2,2′-dipyridine were adopted as chelating agents or additives in the electrolyte for electroless copper plating, and formaldehyde (HCHO) was as the reducting agent. Linear sweep voltammetry was applied to analyze the polarization behavior. The peak current of formaldehyde oxidation which increased by the addition of 2,2′-dipyridine is beneficial to formaldehyde oxidation in a specific range of concentration, While TEA decreased the peak current of formaldehyde oxidation. Two cathodic peaks due to copper(Ⅱ)reduction of TEA chelatation and copper(Ⅱ)reduction of EDTA chelatation were examined. EDTA increased the reduction peak current …

Effect Of Thiourea On Nickel Deposition, Guang-Hui Hu, Hui-Huang Wu, Fang-Zu Yang, Sheng-Lin Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Effect of thiourea on nickel deposition at glassy carbon and nickel-deposited glass carbon electrodes was investigated with cyclic voltammograms and impetance-potential curves. It was found that the nucleation processes occurred at the glassy carbon electrode. However, this characteristics disappeared at the nicked-deposited glassy carbon electrode. It was suggested that the presence of thiourea hindered the nucleation processes, yet accelerated grain growth. Curves of impetance-potential could sensitively detect effect of thiourea on nickel depositon and reflect changes in rate-determining step with potential.

Journal of Electrochemistry

In this work, potential-modulation method was used in two-step anodization process to make an AAO template with Y-type nanochannels. Then Y-type carbon nanotubes with controlled length and branch angle were prepared in the template based on chemical vapor decomposion (CVD) method with Co particles as catalyst and C2H2 as carbon source.
