All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques, and their compositions were established through elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were investigated as inhibitors for MS corrosion, using 1 M HCl as a model solution. WL experiments, surface analysis, quantum chemical calculations and MD simulation methods were used for evaluating the inhibitors anticorrosion properties. The results showed that ILs possessed remarkable inhibition properties under the studied conditions. U5 displayed the highest IE of 95.22%, at 200 ppm. ILs corrosion IE(%) was ascribed to their adsorption onto the MS surfaces, which followed the Langmuir’s isotherm. SEM revealed the formation of a barrier film by the inhibitors on the MS surface. Finally, the experimental results were corroborated by theoretical quantum chemical calculations and MD simulation studies. The studied inhibitor molecules interaction energies with the Fe surface followed the order U5 > U7 > U2 > U4, which is consistent with the experimental data.","PeriodicalId":20334,"journal":{"name":"Portugaliae Electrochimica Acta","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70922533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report Ni-Cu alloy (45 wt.% Ni) anodic treatment in a DES, ethaline, for the first time. It is shown that the anodic dissolution originated the formation of sparingly soluble Ni and Cu chloride salts in the near-electrode layer. Ni-Cu alloy anodic treatment in ethaline resulted in changed patterns of the metallic surface morphology. Depending on the applied electrode E, star like crystallites, with sharply pointed shapes and thorns, may appear on the anodically etched surface, and surface morphology smoothing was observed, in some cases. The Ni-Cu alloy anodic processing in ethaline, which dramatically changed its surface morphology, contributed to a considerable increase in the electrocatalytic activity towards HER in an alkaline medium. Considering favorable environmental aspects of DES use and marked improvement in electrocatalytic properties, this treatment can be further used to develop high-efficient, eco-friendly and relatively inexpensive electrocatalysts methods for water electrolysis within H 2 energy concept.","PeriodicalId":20334,"journal":{"name":"Portugaliae Electrochimica Acta","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70921200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conventional technologies to recover these metals entail energy-intensive pre-treatment steps, followed by their dissolution in a high volume of concentrated acids/alkali reagents. Recently, much attention has been given to the development of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly routes based on WC-Co direct electrochemical dissolution as anodes. However, the metals have a retarded dissolution, in NaOH alkali media, due to the formation of passive oxide layers, in the acidic electrolytes, and of hydroxides, on the anodic surface. The present study investigated WC and Co dissolution fundamentals in aqueous NH 3 , in order to develop a greener process, by the suitable addition of (NH 4 ) 2 CO 3 , (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 and NH 4 Cl Preliminary PDP studies revealed the necessary concentration of NH 3 and additives, and their effect on the metals passivation tendency, for obtaining the best anodic dissolution parameters. The electrodissolution experiments in a specially designed cell achieved the maximum values, by adjusting those parameters. The highest dissolution of W and Co occurred under optimum conditions (10 V, 150 g/L NH 3 and 15% w/v NH 4 Cl). Co was deposited at the cathode, while H 8 N 2 O 4 W remained in the electrolyte and was recovered as H 2 WO 4 or YTO . Topographical analysis of the polarized surface by AFM has confirmed the pitting corrosion mechanism responsible for W and Co dissolution. A process flow chart for the newly developed single-step direct recycling methods of WC scraps has also been proposed. This process has produced pure saleable WO 3 powder and Co.","PeriodicalId":20334,"journal":{"name":"Portugaliae Electrochimica Acta","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70921447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
