Electrochemical behavior and corrosion resistance of the electropolymerized poly(o-toluidine-co-dopamine) film on stainless steel substrates
This study successfully electrodeposited a copolymer of poly(o-toluidine) and poly(dopamine) (POT-co-PDA) onto 304 stainless steel substrates using cyclic voltammetry in a sulfuric acid medium, employing o-toluidine and dopamine hydrochloride as comonomers. Characterization results from ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of the copolymer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that the POT-co-PDA copolymer film exhibited a denser and more continuous surface morphology compared to the porous structure of the homopolymer, indicating that the incorporation of dopamine effectively refined the film's microstructure. The electrochemical corrosion performance of the coatings was evaluated through accelerated immersion tests in a 3.5 % NaCl solution. Initially, Tafel polarization curve measurements demonstrated that both POT and POT-co-PDA coatings significantly enhanced the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel substrate. Notably, the POT-co-PDA coating exhibited superior protective performance, achieving a corrosion rate as low as 0.009 mm/year and a protection efficiency of 92.64 % for the substrate. Furthermore, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that the charge transfer resistance (Rct) value of the POT-co-PDA coating was 3.5 times and 6.8 times higher than that of the POT homopolymer coating and the bare steel substrate, respectively. This further confirms its significantly enhanced long-term barrier protection capability. The markedly improved corrosion protection performance of the POT-co-PDA coating primarily stems from the multifunctional role of the dopamine units within the copolymer. These units synergistically enhance the coating's physical barrier properties and electrochemical passivation capabilities. Key mechanisms include enhanced interfacial adhesion, increased film compactness, and the passivation effect facilitated by the catechol groups in PDA.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
