In this work, CoPi and Co(OH)₂ nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of Ta₃N₅ nanorod-arrays to yield a novel broad-spectrum response photocatalytic material for 304 stainless steel photocatalytic cathodic protection. The Ta₃N₅ nanorod-arrays were prepared by vapor-phase hydrothermal (VPH) and nitriding processes and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Vis spectroscopy, respectively, to obtain morphologies, crystal structures, surface compositions, and light response range. In order to analyze the performance improvement mechanism of CoPi/Co(OH)₂ on Ta₃N₅ nanorod-arrays, the electrochemical behavior of modified and unmodified Ta₃N₅ was obtained by measuring the open circuit potential and photocurrent in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The results revealed that the modified Ta₃N₅ material better protects 304 stainless steel at protection potentials reaching -0.45 V.
在本工作中,将CoPi和Co(OH)₂纳米颗粒沉积在Ta₃N₅纳米棒阵列表面,以制备一种用于304不锈钢光催化阴极保护的新型广谱响应光催化材料。Ta₃N₅纳米棒阵列通过气相水热(VPH)和氮化工艺制备,并分别通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和紫外可见光谱进行表征,以获得形貌、晶体结构、表面组成和光响应范围。为了分析CoPi/Co(OH)₂对Ta₃N₅纳米棒阵列的性能改善机制,通过测量3.5 wt% NaCl溶液中的开路电位和光电流,获得了改性和未改性Ta₃N₅的电化学行为。结果表明,改性后的Ta₃N₅材料在保护电位达到-0.45 V时能更好地保护304不锈钢。
