Abstract

Abstract:

A small amount of thermal reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) was added to commercial solvent-type epoxy resin coatings (EPs) to improve their anticorrosion performances. TRGO was prepared at different temperatures using graphite oxide (GO) as precursor. Structural changes before and after thermal reduction reaction of GO were characterized. The dispersion of GO and TRGO in the diluents of epoxy resin coatings were compared. The TRGO/EPs composite coatings were coated on the surface of Q345 steel. The influence of the preparation temperature and addition amount of TRGO on the anticorrosive performances of the composite coatings were investigated by Tafel polarization curves (Tafel), AC impedance spectra (EIS) and corrosion morphology. The anticorrosion mechanism of composite coating was discussed. The results indicated that high temperature thermal reduction reaction can strip GO and successfully prepare TRGO. Compared with the GO, TRGO showed significantly enhanced dispersion in diluents of solvent-based epoxy resin coatings. The oxygen content of TRGO decreased with increasing thermal reduction temperature, but the TRGO (TRGO-800) prepared at 800℃ had the maximum specific surface area. The TRGO/EPs composite coatings prepared at different thermal reduction temperatures all had better anticorrosion performances than the pure EPs coatings. Among them, the TRGO-800/EPs composite coating had the best anticorrosion effect, and even better than the commercial graphene/EPs composite coating. When the addition amount of TRGO-800 was 0.1%, the corrosion current density was 3.29×10^-8A/cm², which was 96.84% lower than the pure EPs coating, and the polarization resistance value of the composite coatings was 1.38×10⁶Ω, which was 28-fold greater than the pure EPs coating. The enhanced anticorrosive performance of TRGO/EPs composite coatings can be attributed to the good dispersion and physical barrier performance of the TRGO.

摘要：

在市售溶剂型环氧树脂涂料（EPs）中添加少量的热还原氧化石墨烯（TRGO），以提高其防腐性能。本文以氧化石墨（GO）为前体，在不同热还原温度下制备了TRGO，表征了GO热还原反应前后的结构变化，对比了GO和TRGO在环氧树脂涂料稀释剂中的分散性；在Q345钢表面涂覆了TRGO/EPs复合涂层，通过塔菲尔极化曲线（Tafel）、电化学阻抗谱图（EIS）和腐蚀形貌考察了TRGO的制备温度和添加量对复合涂层防腐性能的影响，探讨了复合涂层的防腐机理。结果表明，高温热还原反应能够使GO剥离并成功制备TRGO，与GO相比，TRGO在溶剂型环氧树脂涂料的稀释剂中的分散性得到明显增强；TRGO的氧含量随热还原温度的升高而降低，但800℃下制备的TRGO（TRGO-800）具有最大的比表面积；不同热还原温度下制备的TRGO/EPs复合涂层均比纯EPs涂层具有更好的防腐性能，其中TRGO-800/EPs复合涂层的防腐效果最好，甚至还优于商用石墨烯/EPs复合涂层；当TRGO-800的添加量为0.1%，复合涂层的腐蚀电流密度为3.29×10^-8A/cm²，比纯EPs涂层降低了96.84%，极化电阻为1.38×10⁶Ω，比纯EPs涂层增大了28倍。TRGO/EPs复合涂层的防腐性能提升与TRGO的良好分散性和物理阻隔性有关。
