Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal corrosion and protection, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying a heat- and corrosion-resistant urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide ultrathin coating. Background Technology

[0002] Metallic materials often face challenges from heat and air corrosion, making the development of heat- and corrosion-resistant coatings crucial for their application. Typically, metallic materials spontaneously oxidize in air, forming a relatively stable natural oxide protective layer. However, this spontaneously formed protective layer is often uneven in thickness, prone to localized stress and cracking, thus failing to adequately protect the internal metal from further oxidation. Furthermore, the relatively thick oxide layer often fails to provide protection when the metal substrate is subjected to external forces due to its ceramic-like brittleness. More importantly, oxide protective layers are generally ineffective against high-temperature air corrosion. In addition, coating with organic corrosion-resistant materials or alloying are currently the main methods for corrosion resistance in metallic materials. Alloying typically introduces highly polluting heavy metal ions such as chromium and molybdenum, and is also an energy-intensive process; while organic coatings are susceptible to high temperatures and aging, making them unsuitable for practical applications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop environmentally friendly, heat- and corrosion-resistant, ultra-thin, dense, and highly stable oxide coating technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the oxide protective layer spontaneously formed on the surface of metal materials is relatively thick and usually has ceramic-like brittleness. When the metal substrate is subjected to external force, the protective layer is easy to fall off and lose its protective function. Moreover, the oxide protective layer is usually difficult to resist air corrosion at high temperature. Alloying usually introduces highly polluting heavy metal ions such as chromium and molybdenum, and alloying is a high-energy-consuming process. Organic coating materials have problems such as poor high-temperature resistance and easy aging.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the overall idea of ​​this invention is:

[0005] A urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide coating is formed on the surface of a metallic material. This coating exhibits nucleophilic attack between the carbonyl oxygen of the urea molecule and the nickel atom in the nickel-based hydroxide, as well as hydrogen bonding between the amino hydrogen of the urea molecule and the hydroxyl oxygen of the nickel-based hydroxide. Through nucleophilic attack, the coating establishes a stable anchor between urea and nickel-based hydroxide. Simultaneously, through hydrogen bonding, a dense molecular network electrostatic field is formed on the surface, thus coulombically repelling the penetration of various corrosive ions. This results in a coating with excellent thermal and chemical stability. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] Technical Solution 1: A method for forming a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide ultrathin coating on the surface of a nickel-based metal material, comprising the following steps:

[0007] 1) The nickel-based metal material is soaked in acid or polished to remove possible surface contamination and spontaneous oxide layer, and then ultrasonically washed with ethanol and deionized water in sequence, and then dried as the working electrode to be reconstructed.

[0008] 2) Dissolve urea, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in deionized water to prepare an electrolyte. The concentrations of each component in the electrolyte are: urea: 0.01-1 mol / L, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide: 0.001-5 mol / L, sodium hydroxide or 0.001-5 mol / L potassium hydroxide.

[0009] 3) The working electrode to be reconstructed obtained from the nickel-based metal material treated in step 1) is placed in the urea-containing electrolyte prepared in step 2) and used as the working electrode to be reconstructed for cyclic voltammetry electrochemical treatment.

[0010] 4) The nickel-based metal material obtained by step 3) after reconstruction is cleaned with deionized water and then air-blown and dried to form a urea-modified nickel hydroxide heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant urea-modified ultrathin coating on the nickel-based metal material.

[0011] Technical Solution 2: A method for forming a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide ultrathin coating on the surface of a non-nickel-based metal material, comprising the following steps:

[0012] 1) Soak or polish non-nickel-based metal materials in acid to remove possible surface contamination and spontaneous oxide layer, then ultrasonically wash them with ethanol and deionized water in sequence, and dry them as working electrodes to be reconstructed.

[0013] 2) Prepare an electrolyte by dissolving urea, water-soluble nickel metal salt, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide in deionized water. The concentrations of each component in the electrolyte are as follows: urea: 0.01-1 mol / L, water-soluble nickel metal salt: 0.001-0.1 mol / L, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide: 0.001-5 mol / L.

[0014] 3) Place the non-nickel-based metal material treated in step 1) into the solution prepared in step 2) containing urea and Ni. 2+ In an ion-ion electrolyte, it was used as the working electrode to be reconstructed and subjected to cyclic voltammetric electrochemical treatment.

[0015] 4) The non-nickel-based metal material after reconstruction in step 3) is cleaned with deionized water and then air-blown and dried to form a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide ultrathin coating on the surface of the non-nickel-based metal material.

[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide ultrathin coatings obtained by technical solutions 1 and 2 is 2-4 nanometers.

[0017] Furthermore, the main component of the coating described in technical solutions 1 and 2 is nickel-based hydroxide (Ni(OH)2), and the anchoring modified molecule is urea molecule. In the coating, the amino group of the urea molecule is bonded to the hydroxyl group on the surface of the nickel-based hydroxide through hydrogen bonds, and the carbonyl group of the urea molecule is bonded to the Ni group in the nickel-based hydroxide. 2+ Stable anchoring is achieved through nucleophilic coordination interactions.

[0018] The applicant discovered through research that during the electrochemical treatment process, when the voltage exceeds 1.3V, urea electro-oxidation is induced, thus protecting the further penetration of the electrolyte on the metal surface and facilitating the formation of a uniform nanoscale coating. Based on the above research, the cyclic voltammetry electrochemical treatment described in technical solutions 1 and 2 includes cyclic voltammetry scanning within a voltage range of 1.0 to 1.5V vs. RHE (relative to the reversible hydrogen electrode), with 5 to 20 cycles and an electrochemical scan rate of 1 to 100 mV / s.

[0019] Furthermore, the acid mentioned in step 1 of technical solutions 1 and 2 is selected from nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrofluoric acid.

[0020] Furthermore, the electrolytes prepared in step 2) of both technical solution 1 and technical solution 2 are alkaline electrolytes containing urea with a pH of 7.5-14. The electrolyte in technical solution 2 also contains Ni. 2+ .

[0021] Furthermore, in technical solution 2, the non-nickel-based metal material is made of pure Cu, Mg, Al, Fe, Co, Mn, In, Zn, and alloys thereof in any proportion.

[0022] Furthermore, in technical solution 2, the metallic nickel salt is nickel chloride, nickel nitrate, or nickel acetate.

[0023] This invention provides an electrochemical method for preparing a urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide coating on a metal substrate. The coating is nanometer-thick and highly dense. The urea-modified nickel-based hydroxide coating exhibits good electrostatic repulsion, resistance to various ionic corrosions, and high-temperature oxidation resistance, effectively blocking the penetration of corrosive ions, including CO32-. 2- SO4 2- NO3 - Cl - ,ClO - The corrosive environment has a pH value of 4 to 14; and it is low in cost and can significantly extend the service life of metal substrates in harsh chemical environments such as marine, chemical or high-temperature environments.

[0024] Beneficial Effects: This invention utilizes the nucleophilic interaction between the carbonyl oxygen in urea molecules and metallic nickel in nickel-based hydroxides to achieve tight bonding and anchoring, enhancing the thermal stability of the coating. Simultaneously, the amino hydrogen in urea molecules forms hydrogen bonds with the oxygen in nickel-based hydroxides, constituting a dense molecular modification layer. This molecular layer effectively blocks the penetration of various corrosive ions through Coulomb repulsion. Crucially, in the electrochemical preparation method of this invention, urea molecules undergo an electrochemical oxidation reaction at the anode, significantly suppressing the problem of deep peroxidation of the substrate surface caused by high voltage, thus more conducive to the formation of a uniform and dense nanoscale hydroxide protective layer.

[0025] In summary, this invention constructs a nanoscale uniform coating on a metal substrate using an electrochemical method and significantly improves the substrate's resistance to thermal and chemical corrosion by utilizing the anchoring mechanism of urea molecules (synergistic effect of nucleophilic interaction and hydrogen bonding), with broad application prospects. Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: (1) Environmentally friendly and low-cost: It abandons the traditional alloying method that requires the addition of non-environmentally friendly metals such as chromium and molybdenum, and adopts urea molecules to modify nickel-based hydroxides. The process is simple, environmentally friendly, and low-cost, and easy to scale up. (2) Excellent performance: The ultra-thin coating is firmly bonded to the substrate. Urea molecules form a strong interaction with hydroxides through multiple mechanisms (nucleophilic anchoring and hydrogen bond network), giving the coating excellent and stable heat resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh environments such as marine, chemical and high-temperature environments. (3) Mechanism innovation: It reveals a new mechanism by which organic molecules (urea) synergistically modify inorganic hydroxides through nucleophilic interaction and hydrogen bonding, providing new ideas and theoretical support for achieving high heat resistance and corrosion resistance protective coatings.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.
