The inhibiting effect of 1,2,3-benzotriazole (BTAH) against the corrosion of Cu-Ni (90/10) alloy in seawater and seawater polluted with inorganic sulphide was studied by electrochemical impedance studies (EISs), potentiodynamic polarization studies, and cyclic voltammetric (CV) and weight-loss studies. Surface examination studies were carried out by X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). EIS studies have been carried out in seawater and 10 ppm of inorganic sulphide containing seawater in the absence and presence of BTAH at different concentrations, different immersion periods, and at different temperatures. Appropriate equivalent circuit model was used to calculate the impedance parameters. The potentiodynamic polarization studies inferred that BTAH functions as a mixed inhibitor. The impedance, polarization, and weight-loss studies showed that the inhibition efficiency of BTAH is in the range between 99.97 and 99.30% under different conditions. Cyclic voltammeric studies show the stability of the protective BTAH film even at anodic potentials of +550 mV versus Ag/AgCl. All these studies infer that BTAH functions as an excellent inhibitor for Cu-Ni (90/10) alloy in seawater and sulphide-polluted seawater. XPS and SEM-EDX studies confirm the presence of protective BTAH film on the alloy surface.

The inhibitive action of Saponinic extract of both Zygophylium album and Zygophylium Egyptian leaves which could serve as eco-friendly materials was investigated on the corrosion of N80 carbon steel in 1 M HCl solution. The techniques employed for the study were weight loss measurements. potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results obtained show that these extracts could serve as an effective inhibitor for N80 carbon steel. The percentage inhibition increases with increasing concentration of the inhibitor at 25 °C The percentage inhibitor efficiency above 90% was obtained at a concentration of 700 ppm for both extracts. The corrosion rates of steel and inhibitive efficiencies obtained from impedance and polarization measurements were in good agreement with those obtained from weight loss measurements. Potentiodynamic polarization studies clearly reveal that both extracts act as mixed-type inhibitors The study shows that the inhibition efficiency decreased with the temperature rise of the medium.

The silver particles were grown in situ on the surface of wood by the silver mirror method and modified with stearic acid to acquire a surface with superhydrophobic and antibacterial properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray energy spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the reaction mechanism of the modification process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and contact angle tests were used to characterize the wettability and surface morphology. A coating with a micro rough structure was successfully constructed by the modification of stearic acid, which imparted superhydrophobicity and antibacterial activity to poplar wood. The stability tests were performed to discuss the stability of its hydrophobic performance. The results showed that it has good mechanical properties, acid and alkali resistance, and UV stability. The durability tests demonstrated that the coating has the function of water resistance and fouling resistance and can maintain the stability of its hydrophobic properties under different temperatures of heat treatment.

AbstractThis paper presents the corrosion and inhibition behavior of heat-treated EN8 dual-phase steel with ferrite-martensite structure with pectin in 0.5 M sulphuric acid. The corrosion studies were performed using the weight loss method, electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and impedance spectroscopy. The study was done at different concentrations of pectin in the temperature range of 40 to 70 °C and immersion time of 1, 3, 5, and 7 h. The results showed that the inhibition performance of pectin has enhanced with an increase in pectin concentration and decreased with the temperature and time of exposure. From the weight loss study, highest inhibition efficiency of 76.43% was achieved at 5.0 g/L at 1 h of exposure at 40 °C. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 62% was obtained with 5.0 g/L of pectin at 40 °C by potentiodynamic polarization method. The energy, enthalpy, and entropy of activation and also thermodynamic parameters like free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of adsorption were assessed and discussed. Appropriate adsorption isotherm was fit to the obtained experimental outcomes and achieved Langmuir adsorption isotherm to be the best fit and obeyed physical adsorption. Surface analysis: scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, atomic force microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray were done with and without the addition of pectin. The metal surface appears to be uniform and smooth in the presence of pectin and adsorption was confirmed by surface analysis.

Corrosion is the deterioration of metal by chemical attack or reaction with its environment. It is a constant and continuous problem, often difficult to eliminate completely. Prevention would be more practical and achievable than complete elimination. Recently, a huge interested for the use of naturally occurring inhibitors extracted from plants have been emerged. Most of the natural products are non-toxic, biodegradable and readily available due to environmental concerns. The inhibitor is chemically adsorbed on the surface of the metal and forms a protective thin film with inhibitor effect or by combination between inhibitor ions and metallic surface. Corrosion of copper and its inhibition was analyzed by weight loss (Gravimetric), effect of temperature and time of immersion methods. Electrochemical methods such as, Potentiodynamic polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectra (EIS) were employed. The protective films formed on metal surface have been analyzed by various techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) and. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Visible spectra, X-ray Diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The results obtained from weight loss and electrochemical techniques were in good agreement. In this review paper, research works produced over the past background on the corrosion of copper in various medium and their corrosion inhibition by using a various green inhibitors were presented.

The accurate and precise monitoring of epirubicin (EPR), one of the most widely used anticancer drugs, is significant for human and environmental health. In this context, we developed a highly sensitive electrochemical electrode for EPR detection based on nickel ferrite decorated with gold nanoparticles (Au@NiFe2O4) on the screen-printed electrode (SPE). Various spectral characteristic methods such as Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to investigate the surface morphology and structure of the synthesized Au@NiFe2O4 nanocomposite. The novel decorated electrode exhibited a high electrocatalytic activity toward the electrooxidation of EPR, and a nanomolar limit of detection (5.3 nM) was estimated using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) with linear concentration ranges from 0.01 to 0.7 and 0.7 to 3.6 µM. The stability, selectivity, repeatability reproducibility and reusability, with a very low electrode response detection limit, make it very appropriate for determining trace amounts of EPR in pharmaceutical and clinical preparations.

AbstractThe present paper deals with evaluation of corrosion behavior of electrodeposited nanocrystalline (Nc) NiCo, NiZn and NiCu alloys. Nc NiCo, NiZn and NiCu coating electrodes were electroplated from sulfate electrolyte on copper foil by the galvanostatic technique and ultrasound waves. The chemical composition, surface morphology and crystalline structure of the different alloys were studied using energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction methods. The electrochemical behavior of the deposited material in 1.0 M KOH solutions was investigated. The electrochemical behavior of the coating electrodes in alkaline solutions was investigated by potentiodynamic polarization techniques and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results showed that the alloying of nickel with Co causes an increase in the stability of Ni–alloy in alkaline solutions in comparison to Ni–Cu and Ni–Zn alloys. The corrosion resistance values of Ni–Zn coatings were lower compared to those of the other investigated alloy coatings due to preferential dissolution of Zn from the matrix. The experimental impedance data were fitted to theoretical data according to a proposed equivalent circuit model representing the electrode/electrolyte interface.
