Abstract:
      In order to implement palladium-free activation electroless nickel plating on cenosphere surface, the technique for the cenosphere particles modified by electroless nickel plating activated by the methanol solution dissolving nickel-acetate and sodium-hypophosphite was investigated. The concentrations of nickel-acetate and sodium-hypophosphite were both 400g per liter methanol. Before electroless nickel plating, 20g cenosphere particles were soaked int0 1 liter activation solution for 20 minutes, heated and reacted for 30 minutes at 165 ℃ . The morphologies and the composition of original and modified cenosphere particles were characterized by environment scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicate that uniform and continuous Ni-P alloy coating is obtained on the cenosphere surfaces by this process. The technique can replace the palladium activation process to reduce not only the cost, but also the environment pollution.
