A. Malecki et A. Micekilnicka, THE KINETIC-MODEL OF CATALYTIC REDUCTION OF NI(II) IONS DURING DEPOSITION OF NI-P COATINGS, Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Chemistry, 41(1), 1993, pp. 11-15
The kinetics of the electroless nickel plating in acid baths has been
investigated. The kinetic model of this reaction has been proposed. Th
e formal reaction orders for nickel and hypophosphite ions have been d
etermined and the empirical rate equation for the baths (for isotherma
l conditions) has been developed.
