Formation and Corrosion Behavior of Nickel/Alumina Nanocomposites

Abstract:

Ni nanopillars (Ni NPs) composite materials formation technology was presented. The morphological and structural properties of the composite material were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction. The corrosion resistance of the nanocomposite materials has been studied by potentiodynamic polarization curves analysis. The composite represents the array of vertically ordered Ni NPs with the identical size in alumina matrix. XRD investigation indicates that Ni NPs are polynanocrystalline material. It has been shown that Ni NPs and the composite material have sufficient corrosion resistance in a 0.9% aqueous NaCl solution. Porous alumina matrix is the neutral and protective component of the composite. These nanocomposite materials can be excellent candidates for practical use in different applications.
