A method for electroless metal deposition includes steps as follows. a) a substrate is provided, and the substrate has a surface which is subjected to a hydroxide surface modification to form a hydrophilic chemical oxide layer; b) a catalyst layer is formed on the chemical oxide layer, the catalyst layer includes a plurality of colloidal nanoparticles, and each of the plurality of colloidal nanoparticles includes a palladium nanoparticle and a high molecular polymer which wraps the palladium nanoparticle; and c) an electroless metal deposition is conducted, and a metal is deposited on the catalyst layer to form an electroless metal layer. An electroless metal layer included substrate is also provided.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a catalyst for water electrolysis using a fluorine-doped support, comprising: preparing a support; doping fluorine onto the support; and forming a metal particle catalyst on a surface of the fluorine-doped support, and to a catalyst for water electrolysis manufactured thereby. The present invention uses a dry plasma process to omit the cleaning process and can easily form fluorine doping on the surface without causing structural collapse of the support material.
