Abstract
A 3-dimensional porous material prepared by transferring a sponge structure of a biomineral is coated by nickel via aqueous electroless plating.
Highlights
In this communication, electroless Ni plating was conducted on a 3-dimensional polymer–Pd nanocomposite material with a micrometer-scale sponge structure, which was prepared using a biomineral template (Fig. 1)
A 3-dimensional polypyrrole–palladium nanocomposite material was prepared by transferring a sponge structure of a sea urchin spine via chemical oxidative polymerization

Summary
Electroless Ni plating was conducted on a 3-dimensional polymer–Pd nanocomposite material with a micrometer-scale sponge structure, which was prepared using a biomineral template (Fig. 1). The nanocomposite materials before and after Ni coating have been extensively characterized in terms of their morphology and chemical compositions using a wide range of analytical techniques such as optical microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), CHN analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
