Abstract
Based on first-principles calculation framework, the surface model, anodic dissolution, cathodic oxygen absorption reaction, and other related electrochemical corrosion models of Fe-Ce system were constructed, and the influencing mechanism Ce doping on the corrosion resistance of Fe-Ce system in the Cl medium environment was analyzed. The results show that Ce doping on the first surface and subsurface inhibits the ionization of Fe atoms and greatly promotes the repassivation process of Fe matrix. Ce doping on the first layer is conducive to preventing the detachment of surface Fe atoms from Fe matrix and delaying the occurrence of corrosion. Ce atoms in the subsurface effectively increase the difficulty of Fe atoms detaching from the matrix at high Cl concentrations. When O diffusion is the controlling link of oxygen absorption reaction, Ce doping has no effects on the reaction rate of cathodic oxygen absorption. Ce doping enhances the electrochemical stability of Fe(100)1 and reduces the anodic dissolution rate of Fe matrix, thereby improving its corrosion resistance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field.
The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
