Description
Summary:It is well known that the electrochemical corrosion negatively affects the functional properties of metal and steel materials that constitute a part of systems conducting electric charge. On the other hand, the phenomenon of corrosion is rarely associated with the degradation of chemical power sources and energy storage devices. This article is aimed to fill this gap by describing the effect demonstrated by a substituted ammonium salt with cyclohexyl substituent and 2,5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate anion used as a corrosion inhibitor in symmetrical electrochemical capacitor system. The accelerated ageing test of capacitor systems has shown that the addition of substituted ammonium salt to capacitor electrolyte allows to extend the service lifetime of the entire system by inhibiting the corrosion of 316L stainless steel current collectors. The inhibitory effect of substituted ammonium salt additives on the electrochemical corrosion of 316L stainless steel surface has been also confirmed by cyclic potentiodynamic polarization (CPP) tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements.
