Although solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) possess competitive advantages of excellent process ability and good interfacial contact with electrodes upon the rigid and fragile inorganic solid electrolytes, the unsatisfactory ionic conductivities...
Graphite/titanium oxide composite anti-corrosion coating was applied on the surface of aluminum alloy. The surface morphology and composition of the coating were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical properties of the coatings with different graphite additions were tested by potentiodynamic polarization curves and AC impedance. The coatings with five graphite content were prepared. The phases in the coatings are stable before and after corrosion, avoiding the volume change caused by structural transformation, so that these coatings have good adhesion and are not easy to fall off from the metal surface. As a filler, the graphite dispersed in the coatings extends the penetration path of the corrosive medium. The electrochemical analysis showed that the physical barrier effect of the coating was enhanced with the increase of graphite content, and the optimal addition amount was 2.5%. When the content of graphite exceeds this value, the barrier effect of the coating on the corrosion medium will be weakened due to particle agglomeration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
