The objective of this research work is the study of the inhibitory effect of Warionia saharea essential oil (WSEO) on the corrosion of mild steel (MS) in molar HCl solution, employing both experimental and theoretical methods. This inhibitory effect (IE) has been evaluated by using a combination of weight loss measurements (LW) and various electrochemical methods, such as open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) experiments. The LW results indicated that IE increased with inhibitor concentration, reaching 83.34% at 3.00 g/L. The PDP analysis suggested that WSEO functions as a mixed inhibitor, while in the EIS results the Rct values increased with inhibitor concentration to reach 165.8 Ω cm2 at 2.00 g/L, suggesting a defensive film formation by WSEO molecules over the metallic surface. The thermodynamic study demonstrated that the WSEO molecules adsorption on the MS surface followed a Langmuir isotherm, involving mixed physical and chemical (physicochemical) adsorption on the MS surface. Theoretical methods, including density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, were employed to elucidate the inhibition mechanisms of the three main components of WSEO. The quantum chemical analysis, using density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, showed a low ΔEgap value of 6.30 eV and a low adsorption energy (Eads) value on an Fe (110) substrate of −258 Kcal/mol for (E)-Nerolidol, indicating the significant contribution of this molecule to the overall corrosion inhibition effect of WSEO. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis verified the presence of a protective film formed by the inhibitor on the MS surface. This study highlights the potential of WSEO as a sustainable and green corrosion inhibitor in acidic environments.
这项研究工作的目的是采用实验和理论方法,研究 Warionia saharea 精油(WSEO)对盐酸摩尔溶液中低碳钢(MS)腐蚀的抑制作用。通过结合使用失重测量(LW)和各种电化学方法,如开路电位(OCP)、电位极化(PDP)和电化学阻抗光谱(EIS)实验,对这种抑制作用(IE)进行了评估。LW 结果表明,IE 随抑制剂浓度的增加而增加,在 3.00 g/L 时达到 83.34%。PDP 分析表明 WSEO 起着混合抑制剂的作用,而在 EIS 结果中,Rct 值随着抑制剂浓度的增加而增加,在 2.00 g/L 时达到 165.8 Ω cm2,这表明 WSEO 分子在金属表面形成了一层防御膜。热力学研究表明,WSEO 分子在 MS 表面的吸附遵循 Langmuir 等温线,涉及 MS 表面的物理和化学(物理化学)混合吸附。研究采用密度泛函理论(DFT)和分子动力学(MD)模拟等理论方法阐明了 WSEO 三种主要成分的抑制机理。利用密度泛函理论(DFT)和分子动力学(MD)模拟进行的量子化学分析表明,(E)-橙花叔醇在铁(110)基底上的ΔEgap值较低,为6.30 eV,吸附能(Eads)值较低,为-258 Kcal/mol,表明该分子对WSEO的整体缓蚀效果有重要贡献。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)分析验证了抑制剂在 MS 表面形成的保护膜的存在。这项研究凸显了 WSEO 作为酸性环境中可持续绿色缓蚀剂的潜力。

In this study, we explored the potential of illite sourced from Yeongdong-eup, South Korea, as a filler in polymer electrolytes for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries. The illite was expanded (EI) by acid treatment and UV curing was employed to synthesize the polymer electrolytes. The Li+ ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolytes was measured at various EI contents, revealing the highest conductivity of 1.08 × 10−2 S cm−1 at 4 wt% of the EI. The electrochemical performance of NMC cells assembled with the EI-incorporated polymer electrolyte showed a good discharge capacity of over 158.6 mAh g−1 with a coulombic efficiency of 99%. These findings demonstrate the significant potential of EI as a sustainable and efficient filler material for enhancing the performance of polymer-based all-solid-state Li batteries. This study highlighted the applicability of illite sourced from South Korea and its potential contribution to the development of polymer-based all-solid-state batteries.

Axial piston pumps with compact structures and high efficiency are widely used in construction machinery. The efficiency and lifetime strongly depend on the tribological performance of the pump’s valve plate pair. To enhance the tribological performance of the valve plate pair, surface textures, and H-DLC coatings were fabricated to modify the CuAl10Fe5Ni5 surfaces. The influences of elliptic textures of different sizes and textured H-DLC coatings on the surface friction and wear properties of the valve plate surface under oil lubrication were evaluated using a ring-on-disk tribometer. The results reveal that the friction and wear properties of the CuAl10Fe5Ni5 surfaces are significantly enhanced by elliptic textures, and the friction coefficient and wear rate of textured CuAl10Fe5Ni5 with E90 are maximally decreased by 95% and 87%, respectively. Compared with the surface textures and H-DLC coatings, the textured H-DLC coating has the greatest ability to reduce wear and adhesion. The wear rate of the textured H-DLC coating is further reduced by 98%. This improvement can be explained by the synergistic effect of the elliptic textures and H-DLC coatings, which are attributed to the reduced contact area, debris capture, and secondary lubrication of the elliptic textures, and increased surface hardness.

The need for alternative energy storage options beyond lithium-ion batteries is critical due to their high costs, resource scarcity, and environmental concerns. Zinc-ion batteries offer a promising solution, given zinc’s abundance, cost effectiveness, and safety, particularly its compatibility with non-flammable aqueous electrolytes. In this study, the potential of laser-ablation-based titanium oxide as a novel cathode material for zinc-ion batteries was investigated. The ultra-short laser pulses for in situ nanostructure generation (ULPING) technique was employed to generate nanostructured titanium oxide. This laser ablation process produced highly porous nanostructures, enhancing the electrochemical performance of the electrodes. Zinc and titanium oxide samples were evaluated using two-electrode and three-electrode setups, with cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) techniques. Optimal cathode materials were identified in the Ti-5W (laser ablated twice) and Ti-10W (laser ablated ten times) samples, which demonstrated excellent charge capacity and energy density. The Ti-10W sample exhibited superior long-term performance due to its highly porous nanostructures, improving ion diffusion and electron transport. The potential of laser-ablated titanium oxide as a high-performance cathode material for zinc-ion batteries was highlighted, emphasizing the importance of further research to optimize laser parameters and enhance the stability and scalability of these electrodes.

This study explores the effect of chitosan molecular weight on the formation of chitosan-based films by electrospraying process. The oxidative pathway was employed in chitosan with 220.1 kDa to obtain samples with 124.5 and 52.7 kDa. Both samples of depolymerized chitosan resulted in spheres within electrosprayed chitosan-based films due to a higher deacetylation degree (~85%). The increase in molecular weight (52.7 to 124.5 kDa) resulted in nanospheres (562 nm) within electrosprayed chitosan-based films, enhancing the surface area-to-volume ratio of the material. The electrospraying process maintained the structural integrity and thermal stability of all chitosan-based films while reducing their crystallinity. These findings highlight the impact of chitosan properties, particularly molecular weight, on the physicochemical characteristics of electrosprayed chitosan-based films. For instance, this work provides insights for the application of electrosprayed chitosan-based films in various fields.

Due to the harsh operating conditions experienced by 1Cr17Ni2 steel, efforts were made to optimize its performance by subjecting 1Cr17Ni2 stainless steel to nitriding treatments at temperatures of 460 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C, each for durations of 8 and 16 h. The formation state of its cross section was observed through a metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope, and it was characterized by hardness measurement. Through a ball-on-disk wear experiment, the adhesive wear and friction coefficient of its non-lubricated sliding were measured. The phase composition of its surface was measured by XRD. The results revealed that nitriding led to the formation of a modified layer on the surface of the samples, with a depth of 130 μm after nitriding at 550 °C for 16 h. The hardness of the modified layer exceeded that of the matrix, reaching up to 1400 Hv0.1. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the sample surfaces indicated the presence of high-hardness phases such as CrN, γ′-Fe4N, and ε-Fe2-3N. This article predicts the mechanical properties of nitrided phases in high-alloy martensitic stainless steel through first-principles computational methods. We provide a reference for improving the performance of high-alloy steel after nitriding through a combination of theoretical calculations and experiments.

The integration of self-assembled monolayers (SAM) into cobalt (Co)/porous low-dielectric-constant (low-k) dielectric interconnects is studied in terms of electrical characteristics and reliability in this work. Experimental results indicated that SAM derived from 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) improved breakdown field, time-dependent dielectric breakdown, and adhesion for Co/porous low-k integrated interconnects. However, the improvement magnitude was not large as compared to SAM in the Cu/porous low-k integration. Therefore, the integration of SAM into Co/porous low-k interconnects has a positive effect; however, in order to further promote the efficiency of SAM for Co/porous low-k interconnects, the option of precursors for the growth of SAM is required.

Nanofibre-based membranes have shown great potential for removing textile wastewater due to their high porosity and surface area. However, nanofibre membranes exhibit lower dye removal efficiency. Hence, this study aims to improve the dye removal performance of nanofibre membranes by incorporating zeolites. The research involved fabricating composite membranes by electrospinning polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibres incorporated with zeolites. Mechanical strength was enhanced by placing the PVA/zeolite nanofibre membrane between fusible nonwoven interfacing and woven polyester fabric, followed by heat treatment. Morphological analysis revealed the uniform dispersion of zeolite particles within the PVA nanofibres. EDX analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of zeolites into the fibres. Among all membrane samples, the PZ-0.75 membrane exhibited the highest pure water flux (PWF) with approximately 1358.57 L·m−2·min−1 for distilled water and 499.85 L·m−2·min−1 for batik wastewater. Turbidity of batik wastewater increased proportionally with zeolite concentration, with removal rates of 84.79%, 78.8%, 76.96%, and 74.19% for PZ-0.75, PZ-0.5, PZ-0.25, and PVA membranes, respectively. Furthermore, the UV/Vis spectrophotometer demonstrated that dye removal efficiency increased from 2.22% to 8.89% as the zeolite concentration increased from 0% to 0.75%. In addition, the PZ-0.75 membrane effectively removed RR dye at a concentration of 1 mg/L, with an optimal contact time of approximately 60 min. The adsorption mechanism of the PZ-0.75 membrane aligns with the Freundlich model, with an R2 value of 0.983. Overall, this study demonstrates the efficiency of zeolite in the fabric substrates to improve the filtration and adsorption properties for wastewater treatment, particularly in textile industries.

Overall, this study demonstrates the efficiency of zeolite in the fabric substrates to improve the filtration and adsorption properties for wastewater treatment, particularly in textile industries.","PeriodicalId":10520,"journal":{"name":"Coatings","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142215799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
To improve the mechanical properties of a TC4 surface, TC4 + Ni-MoS2 + xWC (x = 5%, 10% and 15% wt.%) composite coatings were prepared by the coaxial feeding laser cladding technique, and the effect of the WC content on the microstructure and tribological properties of the coatings were investigated using multiple characterization methods. The results indicated that increasing the WC content negatively impacted the forming quality of the coating, but did not change the coating phase which predominantly comprised Ti2Ni, Ti2S, TiC, matrix β-Ti and residual WC. With the addition of WC, TiC exhibited an increase in both quantity and particle size, accompanied by a transition in growth morphology from spherical to petal-like. MoS2 completely dissolved in all coatings and the S element provided by it effectively synthesized a strip-like phase Ti2S which presented a morphology similar to the lubricating phase TiS in the Ti-based melt pool system. The microhardness and wear-resistance of all the coatings were higher than that of TC4 and gradually improved with the addition of WC, which indicated that raising the WC content was conducive to enhancing the mechanical properties of the coatings. The friction coefficient of TC4 was lower than that of the three WC content coatings, indicating that Ti2S was not the lubricating phase. The wear mechanism of all coatings was abrasive wear.

This article presents the results of research work devoted to improving the characteristics of paint and varnish coatings based on aqueous dispersions of polyacrylates; it is proposed to modify them by introducing mineral raw materials as fillers and hydrated lime, with subsequent processing in a vortex layer apparatus. The introduction of activated diatomite does not cause the deterioration of covering power, adhesion or an increase in the porosity of the paint material. The modification of coatings contributes to an increase in their operational properties, which can be associated with a reduction in the free volume in the composite and the formation of polymer boundary layers with modified physical and chemical properties. The aim of this study is to obtain a water-dispersion paint and varnish composition containing modified diatomite on a polyacrylate basis and, subsequently, study its main physical and mechanical parameters. The work has been carried out by the following method: determination of porosity, adhesion, elasticity and covering power of the control composition; determination of porosity, adhesion, elasticity and covering power of the obtained composites using modified filler; investigation of the influence of radiation on the infrared spectrum of the paint coating surface using a FLIRB620 thermal imager. As a result of this research work, it was noticed that the modification of water dispersions with silica-activated diatomite helps to eliminate the main disadvantages of materials and coatings based on acrylate binders—low water resistance and low physical and mechanical characteristics. The introduction of modified diatomite into water-emulsion paint on an acrylate base does not lead to the deterioration of the main performance characteristics of paint coatings—porosity, adhesion, elasticity and covering.
