Coelectrodeposition of Ternary Mn-Oxide/Polypyrrole Composites for ORR Electrocatalysts: A Study Based on Micro-X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and X-ray Fluorescence Mapping by Benedetto Bozzini, Patrizia Bocchetta, Alessandra Gianoncelli

“…The electrodeposits consist of Mn3+,4+-oxide particles, accompanied by combinations of Co0/Co2+, Ni0/Ni2+ and Cu0,+/Cu2+ resulting from the alternance of cathodic and anodic pulses. The formation of highly electroactive Mn3+,4+ in the as-fabricated material is a specific feature of the ternary systems, deriving from synergistic stabilisation brought about by two types of bivalent dopants as well as by galvanic contact to elemental metal; this result represents a considerable improvement in material quality with respect to previously studied Mn/PPy and Mn-based/PPy binaries.…”

Evaluation of corrosion inhibition effect of hybrid organic Ziziphus spina-christi leaf extract and zinc sulfate corrosion inhibitor on mild steel in saline solutions by Zahra Shahryari, Gheisari Khali

“…Results from electrochemical experiments indicated that the ZSC/ZnSO4 hybrid pigment could significantly slow down the corrosion of the steel sample. Both the anodic and cathodic processes were noticeably repressed and inhibited in the presence of ZSC/ZnSO4 extract due to the synergistic impact between ZSC and Zn2+ cations.…”

Effect of Er on Microstructure and Corrosion Behavior of Al–Zn–Mg–Cu–Sc–Zr Aluminum Alloys by Qingyuan Xing, Xiaohui Wu, Jinxin Zang, Linggang Meng, Xingguo Zhang

“…After a solution treatment, the Al₈Cu₄Er phase was formed, in which the interaction with the Cu element and the competitive growth relation to the Al₃Er phase were the key factors influencing the corrosion resistance of the alloy. The anodic corrosion mechanism of the Al₈Cu₄Er and Al₃Er phases evidently lowered the alloy corrosion rate, and the depth of the corrosion pit declined from 197 μm to 155 μm; however, further improvement of corrosion resistance was restricted by the morphology and size of the Al₈Cu₄Er phase after its formation and growth; therefore, adjusting the matching design of the Cu and Er elements can allow Er to improve the corrosion resistance of the Al–Zn–Mg–Cu aluminum alloy to the greatest extent.…”
