Abstract
Here, CeO2 was used as the sole oxidant for pyrrole polymerization via in-situ chemical oxidation, and polypyrrole (PPy) was grown on the CeO2 surface to form CeO2-PPy nanocomposites. The morphology of CeO2-PPy nanocomposites was observed using SEM. The electrochemical corrosion behavior of the coatings in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. After 40 days of immersion, the coating with CeO2-PPy nanocomposite fillers exhibited outstanding anti-corrosion performance, and the |Z|0.01 Hz value exceeded 108 Ω·cm2, which was one order of magnitude higher than of the pure epoxy coating. The enhanced corrosion protection was attributed to the complex passive film produced by the synergistic effect of PPy and cerium(Ⅲ) ions. The results showed that CeO2-PPy nanocomposites can be used as fillers for the corrosion protection of steel substrates.
