In this paper, we propose a simple (alignment-free) and low-cost microfabrication technique of dual opposite silver electrodes having each separated electrical contact pad inside a microchannel using multiphase laminar flow with density difference, without any photolithographical processes. The electrode patterns were realized by chemical deposition at the interface between a silver electroless...

We present an integrated chemical sensor array fabricated using a CMOS process followed by post-processing. The sensor presented in this paper incorporates 324 individually addressable sensing nodes. Post processing involves an electroless Nickel and Gold plating step to fabricate sensing contacts, and the deposition of a carbon black based polymer sensor material. The operation of the integrat...

The Cover Feature shows the spontaneous galvanic deposition of metallic Pt nanoparticles on top, but also inner TiO2 nanotube surfaces. High-aspect-ratio and heavily reduced serves as sacrificial template during this electroless deposition. A high-performing stable hydrogen evolution cathode in acidic media is demonstrated prepared via minimal engineering low noble metal loadings. More informat...

In this work the effects of various methods of agitation on the properties of electroless Ni-P-MoS2 composite coatings were investigated. Magnetic stirring as well as purging the solution with gas (Air, Oxygen, Nitrogen) were used. Plating rate, chemical composition, MoS2 distribution, and hardness of the deposit were measured. Topography of coating was studied with metallography and scanning e...
