ZnO-Doped gC₃N₄ Nanocapsules for Enhancing the Performance of Electroless NiP Coating-Mechanical, Corrosion Protection, and Antibacterial Properties.

ABSTRACT: A carbon nitride (C₃N₄) nanomaterial has superior mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties, which make them attractive for various applications, including corrosion-resistant coatings. In this research, newly synthesized C₃N₄ nanocapsules with different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt %) of ZnO as a dopant were incorporated into the NiP coating using an electroless deposition technique. The nanocomposite coatings either ZnO-doped (NiP-C₃N₄/ZnO) or undoped (NiP-C₃N₄) were heat-treated at 400 °C for 1 h. The as-plated and heat-treated (HT) nanocomposite coatings were characterized by their morphology, phases, roughness, wettability, hardness, corrosion protection, and antibacterial properties
