Corrosion Resistance and Mechanism of Aniline Reduction-Induced Oxidation Graphene/Fe3O4 Nanocomposites
RGO/Fe3O4 binary nanocomposites were prepared by combining restore oxidation graphene(rGO)with Fe3O4 and reducing it with aniline as a reducing agent.Then aniline underwent in-situ oxidation polymerization on the surfaces of Fe3O4 and rGO to form polyaniline(PANI).Finally,the rGO/Fe3O4 composite material was coated with polyaniline,and a multi-layered rGO/Fe3O4/PANI/EP composite coating was prepared using waterborne epoxy resin(EP)as a filler.The corrosion resistance and mechanism of rGO/Fe3O4/PANI/EP coatings were studied using Tafel polarization curves,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,neutral salt spray testing,and photoelectro spectroscopy.The results showed that the RGO/Fe3O4/PANI/EP coatings had the best salt spray resistance,good dispersion,and stability compared to pure epoxy coatings and rGO/Fe3O4/EP coatings.The anti-corrosion mechanism of the composite material was the high efficiency barrier performance of graphene and the electrochemical intelligent passivation effect of PANI enhanced by the ternary composite material.
