“…An example of this is their applications in fuel cells, with benefits for the economy and the versatility of shape and weight. Electroactive polymers show potential in technological applications such as electrodes in batteries (Wang L., 2020), microelectronics (Li S., 2020), electrochromic materials for sensor devices (Tsai et al, 2021), and catalyst support in fuel cells (Liu et al, 2019), among others. Conventionally, electrochromic displays achieve contrast change by modulating light via the optical absorption of the electrodeposited film, and they are good ionic and electronic conductors, with low processing costs and weight when compared to metallic materials used as electrodes.…”

Dissertations across various sectors (industrial, governmental, and research) advocate for the manufacture of products with innovative scientific and technological developments as a driving force to generate added value and, in a dual approach, respond to the expectations of domestic consumers and encourage exports in the country. This analytical and descriptive bibliometric review on electrochromism, a property of some materials that allows them to reversibly change their optical transmittance via the repeated and consecutive intercalation and extraction of electric charges under a small alternating polarity electric potential, contributes by describing the fundamentals, recent research advances, and the feasibility of national industrial application, given the existence of mineral resources, chemical inputs, companies, and qualified human talent at different levels of sectors related to chromic devices and energy storage.

“…Copper [11], zinc [12], nickel [13], and chromium [14] are metals that can be metallized using various processes such as metal spray [15][16], metal paint [17][18], and electroless plating [19][20][21]. Because of the ease of the procedure, electroless plating is the most extensively utilized method among the previously stated ways in industry.…”

Electroless plating on Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a metallization process that involves a reduction and oxidation reaction between the nickel source and the substrate material. The purpose of this research is to determine the ability of nickel deposition in the nickel electroless plating process with a specific etching time variation. This nickel electroless procedure begins with a chromic acid etching process that can last anywhere from 15 to 55 minutes and is useful for increasing roughness and creating submicroscopic cavities. After the etching process is finished, the surface roughness test is performed with a Mitutoyo SJ-210. Additionally, the activation step is carried out for 5 minutes in order for the polymer to become a conductor, allowing the plating process to proceed. The electroless plating process was then carried out for 55 and 75 minutes, with the goal of depositing nickel metal on the ABS surface. The coating results were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy IRSpirit/ATR-S serial No. A224158/Shimadzu to determine the functional groups formed both before and after the coating process, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine the character of the crystal structure, and phase analysis of a solid material using PANalytical type E'xpert Pro, To determine the surface morphology, the Zeiss EVO MA 10 was used to perform scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) at 1000x magnification. The test findings demonstrate that, based on a range of investigations, etching variations of 15,25,35,45, and 55 minutes etching time 55 minutes are the best nickel deposited substrates, as evidenced by EDS data, where this treatment has the largest weight fraction of nickel. As a result, the longer the etching period, the rougher the surface becomes, affecting the capacity of nickel deposition to increase. Furthermore, it can be demonstrated in this investigation that the nickel deposited is in an amorphous form.

“…Laser-induced metallization usually includes laser activation and electroless copper plating (ECP), and in this way, a copper layer can be firmly grafted on the laser-activated areas [13]. Extensive investigations have been carried out to manufacture metallized patterns, and polymeric materials are often taken as the substrate [14][15][16].…”
