Electroless Ni coating over Cu coating

I wanted to coat ceramic powders with layers of Cu and Ni. Cu coating over ceramic powders can be done by electroless method after actiavting the surface with Pd and Sn catalyst solutions. Is it possible to coat Cu coated ceramic powders with Ni by electroless method?

Hi, Mahesh.

Not really and directly. Copper is not a catalytic surface for electroless nickel.
