In this work we have synthesized Ti3C2TX MXene powder and studied its structure. Composite electrochemical coatings (CECs) of Ni-Ti3C2TX MXene were obtained from a sulfate– chloride bath in the galvanostatic regime. The microstructure of CEC was researched using X-ray phase analysis and scanning electron microscopy methods. It has been established that a Ni–Ti3C2TX MXene CEC microhardness rises by about 1.80 times compared with electrolytic Ni without a dispersed phase. For corrosion research, different corrosive media is applied. The corrosion–electrochemical behavior of Ni–Ti3C2TX MXene CECs by the chronovoltamperometry method in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution has been investigated. Trials in 3.5% NaCl have shown that Ti3C2TX MXene inclusion into the matrix of the electrochemical Ni results in a decrease in the corrosion rate by 1.60–1.75 times. These effects are due to the addition of Ti3C2TX MXene into the nickel matrix and the formation of CECs with a strengthening fine-grained structure.
Composite electrochemical coatings (CECs) on the basis of nickel modified with multilayer graphene oxide (GO) were deposited from a sulfate–chloride electrolyte in pulsed electrolysis mode. The microstructure of these CECs was studied by X-ray phase analysis and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the microhardness of nickel–GO CECs increases by approximately 1.40 times compared to pure nickel. The corrosion–electrochemical behavior of nickel–GO composite coatings in 0.5 M H2SO4 was studied. Based on tests in 3.5% NaCl, it was found that the addition of graphene oxide particles into the matrix of nickel electrodeposits, increases their corrosion resistance by 1.40–1.50 times. This can be explained by the uniformity of the distribution of GO in the nickel matrix, which contributes to the reduction in grain size, as well as the impermeability and stability of graphene oxide.
