- Abstract
- A facile approach based on electrochemical polymerization was used to synthesize polypyrrole/CeO2 (PPy/CeO2) nanocomposite on an AA2024 alloy surface. CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in the PPy matrix were observed using FESEM micrographs with EDX analysis. IR and UV vis spectroscopy were used to characterize the synthesized PPy/CeO2 nanocomposite. The Raman spectra reflected the interactions between the pi-conjugated structure of PPy and CeO2 NPs. TGA thermograms revealed improved thermal stability of the synthesized nanocomposite and were used to determine the amount of nano ceria incorporated in the PPy matrix. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of the coated alloys in 0.6 M NaC1 solution was examined through potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) measurements. From these electrochemical studies, a larger shift of E-corr, in the positive direction with a high amount of CeO2 in the nanocomposite was obtained, as well as a maximum corrosion protection efficiency of 99.64% by incorporating 3% of CeO2 NPs in the PPy coatings. EIS studies also confirmed the enhanced corrosion protection behavior of PPy/CeO2 coatings with higher R-ct, R-f and lower CPEdl values compared to those of pure PPy coatings. The results showed that the PPy coatings with CeO2 nanoparticles can be potential coating materials for the corrosion protection of AA2024 alloys substrates.
