“…Reasonably noble main group metals ( e. g ., Sn, Pb or Bi) are also candidates for electroless plating, despite their generally lower catalytic activities. These metals are not utilized frequently, and corresponding reactions often suffer from large impurity fractions [78] and employ unusual reducers ( e. g ., thiourea, [78] Sn(II)) [79] . Selective metal deposition can be achieved through carefully balancing the metastable redox pair, as demonstrated in electroless Bi nanoplating [80] …”

Electroless plating is commonly associated with metallizing macroscopic work pieces, but also represents a surprisingly powerful nanomanufacturing tool. This review details the technique's use for creating nanomaterials of arbitrary dimensionality, ranging from nanoparticles over nanotubes, nanowires, and ultrathin films to nanostructured lattices, focusing on the solution chemistry and mechanistic aspects. The synthesis of defined nanostructures serves as overarching perspective, which is enriched by drawing connections to and insights from related fields. Strategies for controlling the size, shape, crystallinity, porosity, composition, and arrangement of electrolessly plated nanostructures are outlined, including templating (which harnesses the method's exceptional conformality to guide and limit deposit formation), the complementary approach of selective growth, tailored seeding, and bath design. Being able to strike convincing compromises between material quality and ease of preparation, electroless nanoplating has a distinct potential to facilitate the application of metal nanomaterials.

“…RHHPC was obtained as described in our previous work [49] . C/Pb composite was obtained as follows [50][51][52] : 3.0 g RHHPC was soaked in 20.0 mL 0.5 mol L −1 H 2 SO 4 solution for 10 min to remove impurities soluble in acid, then filtered and washed with distilled water. After sensitized in 20.0 mL 2.5 wt% SnCl 2 + 4 wt% HCl solution for 10 min, RHHPC was soaked in 20.0 mL 0.05 wt% PdCl 2 + 4 wt% HCl solution for 10 min to get Pd seeds for Pb to grow.…”

A novel C/Pb composite has been successfully prepared by electroless plating to reduce the hydrogen evolution and achieve the high reversibility of the anode of lead-carbon battery (LCB). The deposited lead on the surface of C/Pb composite was found to be uniform and adherent to carbon surface. Because lead has been stuck on the surface of C/Pb composite, the embedded structure suppresses the hydrogen evolution of lead-carbon anode and strengthens the connection between carbon additive and sponge lead. Compared with the blank anode, the lead-carbon anode with C/Pb composite displays excellent chargedischarge reversibility, which is attributed to the good connection between carbon additives and lead that has been stuck on the surface of C/Pb composite during the preparation process. The addition of C/Pb composite maintains a solid anode structure with high specific surface area and power volume, and thereby, it plays a significant role in the highly reversible lead-carbon anode.

“…Rice husk-based hierarchical porous carbon (RHHPC) was obtained as described in our previous work [38]. The C/Pb-1 composite was prepared by the same method with 2.40 g lead nitrate and 0.55 g thiourea in the preparation process [39,40]. With the use of 2, 3, 5 times of the lead nitrate and thiourea in the synthesis process, C/Pb-2,…”

Optimized lead carbon composite for enhancing the performance of lead-carbon battery under HRPSoC operation

The cycle life of lead-carbon battery is greatly restricted by the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) of lead-carbon electrode. Lead carbon composite, rather than the pure carbon additive, inhibits the HER effectively, and may also strengthen the connection between lead and carbon components of lead-carbon electrode, which contributes to the performance enhancement of lead-carbon battery. In this paper, a novel lead carbon (C/Pb) composite is prepared by electroless plating lead on the rice-husk-based hierarchical porous carbon. The as-prepared C/Pb composite significantly suppresses the HER, and enlarges the electrochemically active surface area of the lead-carbon electrode. As expected, the cycle life of lead carbon battery with the optimized C/Pb composite in negative electrode is more than 11 times of the blank one under high-rate partial state-of-charge (HRPSoC) operation. This performance improvement is attributed to the enhanced interface between lead and carbon, and the inhibition effect on HER of C/Pb composite.
