Abstract
This article outlines the preparation and exfoliation of graphitic-carbon nitride (GCN) by thermal polymerization technique using urea proceeded by the hydrothermal approach for the application of corrosion resistance in radiators. The prepared sample was characterized by using various methods. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the purity of GCN, and surface morphology results revealed the formation of spherical-shaped GCN. Herein, graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) was synthesized to enhance its corrosion-resistance performance on mild steel (MS) under a seawater atmosphere. The corrosion behavior of the graphitic-carbon nitride (GCN) synthesized by the hydrothermal method was examined by conducting electrochemical corrosion tests in a 3.5% NaCl medium under three different temperatures. The excellent temperature dependant electro-catalytic activity of the prepared GCN was analyzed. The hydrothermal exfoliation process highly enhances the structural, optical, and electrochemical properties like corrosion resistance and stability of the prepared GCN. This study demonstrates that hydrothermally exfoliated GCN exhibits low corrosion rates and high electrochemical corrosion resistance, which could be a potential candidate for corrosion inhibitors in radiators.
