BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2异质结界面电荷传输增强不锈钢光电化学防腐性能

The enhanced charge transport at the BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2 heterojunction interface improves the photoelectrochemical corrosion protection performance of stainless steel

  • 摘要: 光电化学阴极保护技术是一种高效环保的金属防腐策略,其中TiO2因化学稳定性高、能带结构适宜而被广泛应用,但其对可见光的响应率低且光生载流子易复合。通过构建异质结可调控能带结构,拓宽光谱响应范围并利用界面电场促进电荷分离,显著提升其光电化学阴极保护性能。本研究采用两步超声喷雾热解法在FTO玻璃上成功制备了BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2薄膜,并以304不锈钢(304 SS)为被保护金属测试了BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2复合薄膜的光电化学阴极保护性能。随后对其中性能表现最优异的BaTiO3/TiO2复合薄膜进行了深入的研究。结果表明:BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2复合薄膜相比于TiO2薄膜,光吸收性能增强,光生载流子分离效率提高。在3.5wt%NaCl溶液中,BaTiO3/TiO2复合薄膜光照下的光电流密度可达8.7 μA/cm2,是TiO2的4.14倍;开路电位负移至−0.5 V,分别比304 SS自腐蚀电位和纯TiO2薄膜低390 mV和250 mV。其性能提升主要归因于BaTiO3与TiO2复合形成了异质结,促进了光生载流子的分离。

     

    Abstract: Photoelectrochemical cathodic protection technology is an efficient and environmentally friendly strategy for metal corrosion protection. TiO2 has been widely utilized due to its high chemical stability and appropriate band structure, yet its limited visible-light responsiveness and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers hinder practical applications. The construction of heterojunctions enables the modulation of band structures to broaden the spectral response range and utilizes interfacial electric fields to facilitate charge separation, thereby significantly enhancing photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance. In this study, BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2 films were successfully prepared on FTO glass by two-step ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method, and the photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance of BaxSr1−xTiO3/TiO2 composite films was tested using 304 stainless steel (304 SS) as the protected metal. Subsequently, the BaTiO3/TiO2 composite film with the best performance was studied in depth. The results show that compared with TiO2 films, the BaTiO3/TiO2 composite film has enhanced light absorption performance and improved photogenerated carrier separation efficiency. In 3.5wt% NaCl solution, the photocurrent density of BaTiO3/TiO2 composite films can reach 8.7 μA/cm2, which is 4.14 times that of TiO2, and the open-circuit potential is negatively shifted to −0.5 V, which is 390 mV and 250 mV lower than that of 304 SS self-corrosion potential and pure TiO2 film, respectively. The improvement of its performance is mainly attributed to the combination of BaTiO3 and TiO2 to form a heterojunction, which promotes the separation of photogenerated carriers.
