Described herein are methods of applying metals to substrates, where the methods include contacting the substrate with an aqueous metal plating composition comprising polyammonium bisulfate (“PABS”) and a dissolved metal or salt thereof. The methods allow application of metals to the substrate without need for electrical energy input or for an added chemical catalyst, chelating agent, complexing agent, reducing agent, stabilizer, or pH-modifying (or controlling) chemical compound.

The present invention relates to a method for treating a surface of a non-conductive or carbon-fibers containing substrate using a conditioning step a selector treatment step and an activating step.

A substrate liquid processing method includes preparing a substrate having a surface including a recess on which a seed layer is stacked; supplying an electroless plating liquid onto the surface of the substrate to fill the recess with the electroless plating liquid while forming a liquid film of the electroless plating liquid on the surface; and adjusting a temperature of the liquid film from a first temperature at which a metal is precipitated on the seed layer to a second temperature lower than the first temperature to fill the recess with the metal starting from a bottom portion of the recess such that a void is not formed therein.

It is provided a method for manufacturing a metal coated substrate by forming a metal coating on a surface of a substrate, comprising: immersing the substrate in a palladium/tin colloidal solution; immersing the substrate in an acid solution; and carrying out electroless metal plating in order to obtain a continuous film-coated substrate which is permeable to visible light. It is also provided a metal coated substrate obtainable by the mentioned method and an article of manufacture made of the metal coated substrate.
