Abstract
MgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) films were prepared via an in-situ growth method on anodized AZ31 magnesium alloy. Subsequently, phytic acid (PA) was loaded as a corrosion inhibitor through an anion-exchange process. The structural evolution of the LDHs nanosheets during the loading process was systematically investigated. The structure, morphology, and composition of the films were characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy. The corrosion behavior was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results revealed that during the first four hours of ion exchange in the PA solution, the LDHs nanosheets underwent a fragmentation-recrystallization process. The incorporation of the corrosion inhibitor significantly enhanced both the stability of the LDHs nanosheets and the long-term corrosion protection of the substrate. Furthermore, a recrystallization mechanism for the LDHs nanosheets on the anodized AZ31 Mg alloy is proposed.
期刊介绍:
Nanomaterials (ISSN 2076-4991) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves nanomaterials, with respect to their science and application. Thus, theoretical and experimental articles will be accepted, along with articles that deal with the synthesis and use of nanomaterials. Articles that synthesize information from multiple fields, and which place discoveries within a broader context, will be preferred. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental or methodical details, or both, must be provided for research articles. Computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Nanomaterials is dedicated to a high scientific standard. All manuscripts undergo a rigorous reviewing process and decisions are based on the recommendations of independent reviewers.
