Electroless copper deposition initiated by palladium nanoparticles on laponite templates.

Main Results:

Palladium nanoparticles were successfully intercalated and reduced on laponite at room temperature.
Optimization of laponite properties adjusted interlayer distances and organophilicity.
Copper films exhibited excellent surface roughness (˜1.7 nm) and low resistivity (˜3.42 μΩ).
The method enabled facile Cu metallization without substrate damage.

Conclusions:

Palladium nanoparticles on laponite templates can effectively catalyze electroless copper deposition.
The developed approach provides a damage-free method for fabricating smooth and highly conductive copper films.
This catalytic system holds promise for advanced metallization applications.
