Abstract

Vessels inevitably suffer from hull corrosion and encounter contaminated seawater during their service, which is imperative to find a way to both resist corrosion and effectively purify the water. Herein, N-deficient g-C3N4 was prepared by alkali-assisted thermal polymerization and combined with an epoxy resin to successfully synthesize a CNx/EP composite coating with excellent corrosion resistance and effective degradation of organic pollutants in simulated marine environment. Furthermore, corresponding characterization verified that the synthesized N-deficient carbon nitride exhibited high specific surface area and better water dispersibility. In addition, the corrosion resistance of the coatings was investigated by open-circuit potential (OCP), electric polarization curves, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the results showed that the CNx-1/EP coating presented the optimal corrosion resistance with a maximum impedance radius of 2.84 × 107 Ω cm2, which was two orders of magnitude higher than that of pure EP coating. The degradation experiments demonstrated that the degradation rate of methyl blue (MB, 30 mg L−1) reached 68% over CNx/EP coating within 4 days’ sunlight irradiation. Finally, the photocatalytic corrosion protection and degradation mechanism of the CNx/EP coating was discussed. This work provides new design ideas for the construction of multifunctional anti-corrosion coatings.
