TLDR
In this paper, the initial deposition process of electroless nickel plating was investigated by combining a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method with microscopy, and four stages were noted: an induction period before the initiation of deposition, an acceleration period with an increase in the deposition rate, a deceleration period with a decrease in deposition rate and a stationary period at a constant deposition rate.About:

Anodic Oxidation of Reductants in Electroless Plating
TL;DR: In this paper, the anodic oxidation of reductants (hypophosphite, formaldehyde, borohydride, dimethylamine borane, and hydrazine) was studied on different metal electrodes (Au, Pt, Pd, Ag, Cu, Ni and Co) at various temperatures, with special interest in the catalytic aspect of electroless plating.
