A way of manufacturing nickel material with fractal structure has been studied. Some algae with natural fractal structure were used as the basic substrates. The nickel was coated on the substrates by both electroless deposition and electrodeposition. After elimination of the foundational algae by erosion, dissolution etc, the pure nickel materials with fractal structure were obtained. At last, the specific surface area was analyzed by BET analyses and the fractal dimension of the nickel material was calculated by means of box-counting technique. The comparison of fractal dimension between Ni structure and natural algae was also given.
