Preventing Corrosion Processes, Control, Mitigation, and Technology
Abstract
Preventing corrosion by controlling cathodic reaction. Study of how electronic structures of oxide coating materials can be modified to slow cathodic ORR kinetics. Objectives of this project are to: (1) Predict atomic-scale structures of amorphous oxide hydrate coating materials that are expected to form under long-term exposure to maritime conditions. (2) Predict ORR reaction energetics on inorganic oxide coating materials for improved understanding of fundamental reaction mechanisms that result in corrosion. (3) Understand how electronic structures of coating materials can be rationally tuned to better suppress corrosion.
