Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An article includes an electroless deposited aluminum layer. The aluminum layer is deposited in an electroless plating composition. The composition includes an aluminum ionic liquid, a reducing agent, and an additive selected from the group consisting of a catalyst, an alloying element, and a combination thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electroless plating composition, comprising: an aluminum ionic liquid; a reducing agent; and an additive selected from the group consisting of a catalyst, an alloying element, and a combination thereof, wherein the additive comprises the catalyst, and the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of TiCl 2 , TiCl 3 , TiCl 4 , ZrCl 4 , VCl 3 , NbCl 5 , CeCl 3 and combinations thereof. 2. The electroless plating composition of claim 1 , wherein the reducing agent is selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydrides, alkaline earth metal hydrides, alanate salts of alkali metal, alanate salts of alkaline earth metal, borohydride salts, hydrided alkyl-metal compounds, and combinations thereof. 3. The electroless plating composition of claim 1 , wherein the reducing agent is lithium hydride, di-isobutyl aluminum hydride, NaAlH 4 , LiBH 4 or NaBH 4 . 4. The electroless plating composition of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum ionic liquid comprises 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, N-alkylpyridinium halides, N-alkylimidazolium halides, N,N′-alkylimidazolium halides, N-alkylpyrazolium halides, N,N′-alkylpyrazolium halides, bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide, tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate, trifluoroacetate, trifluoromethylsulfonate, dicyanoamide, tricyanomethide, tetracyanoborate, tetraphenylborate, tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) methide, thiocyanate, or a combination thereof. 5. The electroless plating composition of claim 1 , further comprising particulates about 10 nm to about 100 microns in diameter and/or selected from MgSi, SiC, CrC, TiC, BN, BC, diamond, metal, metal alloy, and combinations thereof. 6. The electroless plating composition of claim 1 , wherein the additive further comprises the alloying element.
