The process of depositing a layer of nickel on metal or certain non-metal surfaces through electrolysis or chemical methods is known as nickel plating.
1. Electroplating of Nickel:
Electroplating of nickel involves the deposition of a uniform and dense layer of nickel onto a substrate through the use of direct current in an electrolyte solution composed of nickel salt (known as the main salt), conductive salt, pH buffer, and wetting agent. The anode is made of metallic nickel while the substrate acts as the cathode, resulting in the deposition of nickel onto the cathode surface.
2. Chemical Nickel Plating:
Chemical nickel plating, also known as electroless nickel plating or autocatalytic nickel plating, refers to the process where nickel ions in an aqueous solution are reduced by a reducing agent under specific conditions, leading to their deposition onto a solid substrate without the need for an external electrical current.
