Abstract:
1. A process for the non-electrolytic deposition of a compound, comprising the following successive steps: (a) deposition of an electrically conductive layer onto a nonconductive solid substrate, (b) deposition of a redox agent onto an area of said conductive layer, said area covering only part of the surface of said conductive layer, (c) placing a solution of a precursor of the compound to be deposited in contact with both the redox agent and with at least part of the surface of the conductive layer not covered by the redox agent, said precursor being chosen from those with a redox potential higher or lower than that of the redox agent and forming, after a redox reaction, the compound to be deposited, which compound is insoluble in the solution of the precursor of the compound to be deposited.
