Electroless deposition (ED) or electroless plating is defined as the autocatalytic process through which metals and metal alloys are deposited onto conductive and nonconductive surfaces.[1][2][3][4] These nonconductive surfaces include plastics, ceramics, and glass etc., which can then become decorative, anti-corrosive, and conductive depending on their final functions.[2] Electroplating, unlike electroless deposition, only deposits on other conductive or semi-conductive materials when an external current is applied.[5][6] Electroless deposition deposits metals onto 2D and 3D structures such as screws, nanofibers, and carbon nanotubes, unlike other plating methods such as Physical Vapor Deposition ( PVD), Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), and electroplating, which are limited to 2D surfaces.[7] Commonly the surface of the substrate is characterized via pXRD, SEM-EDS, and XPS which relay set parameters based their final funtionality.[5] These parameters are referred to a Key Performance Indicators crucial for a researcher’ or company's purpose.[5][8] Electroless deposition continues to rise in importance within the microelectronic industry, oil and gas, and aerospace industry.[9]
