| Abstract Scope |
. In this research, newly synthesized g-C3N4 nanofiber (C3N4/F) and g-C3N4 nanotubes (C3N4/T), as well as their modification with CeO2, producing (g-C3N4/CeO2/F) and (g-C3N4/CeO2/T), respectively, were incorporated in the metallic NiP coating using the electroless deposition method. Heat treatment at 400 oC for 1h is applied for the different produced nanocomposite coatings. The as-prepared and heat-treated NiP-C3N4/F, NiP-C3N4/T, NiP-C3N4/CeO2/F, and NiP-C3N4/CeO2/T nanocomposite coatings were characterized for their structure, elemental composition, thickness, morphology, roughness, wettability, hardness, and corrosion protection properties to evaluate the modifying of C3N4 with CeO2 influence, as well as the impact of the different C3N4 shapes (fibers and tubes) on the NiP coating properties. |
