Abstract
To achieve prolonged photocathodic protection (PCP) of 304 stainless steel (304SS) in marine environments, effective charge mobility and electron storage within the photoanodes are essential. In this study, ternary NiFeCo-layered double hydroxide nanoarrays on titanium foil (Ti/NiFeCo-LDH) were synthesized to enable PCP for 304SS. The engineered active Co sites in Ti/NiFeCo-LDH play a dual role: they adjust the electronic and band structures and act as efficient reductants, creating oxygen vacancies that enhance electron transfer from Ti/NiFeCo-LDH to 304SS. Consequently, the fabricated Ti/NiFeCo-LDH exhibits highly efficient PCP for 304SS in simulated seawater, achieving an open circuit potential (OCP) of −803 mV in the dark and maintaining a consistent potential of -760 mV over 82 h. This research presents a significant advancement in developing efficient photoanodes for PCP in metallic materials.
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)
