  • Publication number: 20100272904
    Abstract: Provided is a catalytic surface activation method for electroless deposition comprising a metallic aerosol nanoparticle generation step of generating metallic aerosol nanoparticles, which act as plating initiation catalyst; a metallic aerosol nanoparticle fixation step of fixing the resultant metallic aerosol nanoparticles on a plating surface; and an electroless deposition step of impregnating the material to be plated in an electroless deposition solution to form a plating layer on the plating surface on which the metallic aerosol nanoparticles have been fixed. The catalytic surface activation method for electroless deposition of the present invention is applicable to large-scale plating with simple process and superior applicability, improves the plating characteristics with little impurity generation, requires no post-treatment process for removing impurities and is environment-friendly with no wastewater generation by directly fixing metallic aerosol nanoparticles on the material to be plated.

  • Publication number: 20080241422
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the aerosol synthesis of carbon nanostructures under atmospheric pressure comprising a spark generation step of generating a spark between a graphite electrode made of carbon and a metal electrode made of a catalytic metal inducing the graphitization of carbon and vaporizing the carbon component of the graphite electrode and the metal component of the metal electrode utilizing the heat produced by the spark, thereby generating carbon vapor and metal vapor; and a carbon nanostructure generation step of cooling and condensing the carbon vapor and the metal vapor to form a graphitic carbon layer and catalytic metal particles and generating carbon nanostructures in which the graphitic carbon layer grows on the surface of the catalytic metal particles and covers the catalytic metal particles.
