Green Electroless Plating

EP was not green from the very beginning of the application of EP to various industries. EP was harmful to the ecosystem. There have been many years of research into how this issue can be resolved. Now, finally the so-called green EP has been established although some problems still need to be solved. The progress of green EP has been described and discussed in this chapter. The key problem in green EP is to use an eco-agent but not the Hazardous Substances (RoHS). Green EP Ni–P (EN) alloys, green EP Cu, Ag, and Au were described in detail. More research is needed to establish a genuinely complete green EP.
