These results revealed that the formation of Gln-TA nanoparticles was primarily driven by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. The incorporation of tannic acid enhanced both the short-term and long-term stability of glutenin emulsions, though their effects and mechanisms differed significantly. Specifically, the ability of Gln-TA nanoparticles to improve short-term emulsion stability exhibited a distinct tannic acid concentration dependence. When the tannic acid concentration reached 24.0 μmol/L, Gln-TA nanoparticles achieved the smallest particle size (247.8 nm) and the highest mechanical strength of interfacial layers, yielding the optimal short-term emulsion stability. In contrast, Gln-TA nanoparticles at a tannic acid concentration of 19.2 μmol/L exhibited the best long-term emulsion stability, which was attributed to their superior amphiphilicity and interfacial deformation resistance.

Finding an effective method to improve corrosion resistance, enhance durability, and even reduce maintenance costs for mild steel-based components is always an urgent requirement. Beyond increased applicability and extended lifespan of steel-based infrastructures, maintaining sustainability and environmental friendliness of the methods used is relatively important. Motivated by this direction, this work uses lanthanum (III) chloride (LaCl<sub>3</sub>) as a corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in the 0.01 M NaCl solution saturated with CO<sub>2</sub>. By combining surface characterizations and electrochemical measurements, electrochemical behaviors of mild steel and the effects of the inhibitor on electrochemical activities of steel are clearly demonstrated. Surface characterizations including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are applied to observe and analyze the steel surface after immersion in the prepared solution without and with varying concentrations of the inhibitor for 72 hours. The results show the film formation of lanthanum-based compounds on the steel surface probably reduces localized corrosion and minimizes porous flakes on the steel surface. Additionally, the electrochemical measurements, including potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), indicate that LaCl<sub>3</sub> acts a mixed-type inhibitor that prevents both anodic and cathodic reactions on the metal surface in the electrolyte, with the highest inhibition efficiency achieving 95.97 ± 0.41% at 2.4 mM LaCl<sub>3</sub>. The film formation of the inhibitor based on the heterogenous monolayer adsorption is demonstrated by isotherm adsorption. Moreover, the wire beam electrode (WBE) mapping based on current density is used and the results obtained show the inhibitor can influence on random distribution of anodic and cathodic sites on the steel surface, suggesting localized corrosion inhibition of LaCl<sub>3</sub> in CO<sub>2</sub>-saturated NaCl solution.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":278,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects","volume":"721 ","pages":"Article 137208"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144098766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results shows that the coating maintains its superhydrophobicity after 150 cycles of sandpaper abrasion under a 300 g load, accompanied by a decrease of only 6 % of the contact angle.

The particles are naturally a core-shell composite of aluminum-alumina (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>). The passivation shell is a strong barrier to oxygen diffusion and thus limits power generation potential. Recent studies on nano-aluminum (nAl) particles replaced the Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> shell with an oxygen-rich, halogen-based shell composed of [Al(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>](IO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>(HIO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> called aluminum iodate hexahydrate (AIH). The abundance of oxidizing species in molecular scale proximity to the Al core, and the relatively low decomposition energy of AIH provided the conditions necessary to increase power from the nAl reactions. However, AIH passivated nAl was highly ignition sensitive and unsafe to handle. Micron-sized aluminum (µAl) particles are less ignition sensitive than nAl particles and are a suitable alternative for extending nAl-shell modification approaches. This study used µAl particles to synthesize a controlled concentration of AIH shell (µAl@AIH). The precipitation reactions required for shell synthesis examined three key variables to control AIH concentration: H<sub>2</sub>O to I<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> solution ratio, solution temperature, and time in solution. Thermal analysis of the µAl@AIH particles confirmed AIH dehydration and decomposition followed by core oxidation. The µAl@AIH powder showed up to 92 % increase in apparent oxidation efficiency compared to standard Al indicating the AIH shell provides increased oxygen accessibility to the core. Accelerated aging studies revealed physical and chemical transformation of AIH, but the new shell structure resulted in a further 1992 % increased apparent oxidation efficiency than standard Al. The apparent activation energy for the unaged and aged µAl@AIH powder is 16–34 % lower in equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions compared to standard Al.
