Pd-Cu composite membranes on microporous stainless steel substrate (MPSS) were fabricated by novel electroless plating (EP) process. In conventional Pd-EP process, the oxidation-reduction reactions between Pd-complex and hydrazine result in evolution of Ammonia and Nitrogen gas bubbles those hinder uniform Pd-film deposition. It results in dendrite growth leading to poor film formation. This problem is addressed by introducing cationic surfactant in the electroless plating process known as surfactant induced electroless plating (SIEP). To verify the improvement of membrane performance after...
