The synthesis of reduced graphene oxide onto magnesium discs by electrochemical and chemical methods is presented in this work. The surface morphology and atomic composition were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The corrosion rate of different samples was analyzed in physiological saline 0.9 wt % NaCl solution by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and scanning electrochemical microscopy. As a result of the different treatments, a progressive decrease in the corrosion rate of the magnesium disc in the corroding environment was obtained, reaching up to 80% of reduction for the chemically modified sample.
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.
