Correlations between the anti-corrosion properties and the photocatalytic behavior of epoxy coatings incorporating modified graphene oxide deposited on a zinc substrate.

ABSTRACT: This research aimed to create a substrate-coating system based on zinc and an epoxy resin incorporating modified graphene oxide, which possesses two key characteristics: effective resistance against corrosion and the ability to harness photocatalytic properties. Furthermore, correlations between the anti-corrosion properties and the photocatalytic behaviour of the coatings were made. Thin epoxy (EP) layers embedding 0.1 wt% graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and modified graphene oxide with (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) or poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer were applied on a zinc (Zn) substrate using the dip-coating method. Anti-corrosion properties of coated Zn samples were investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. They showe
