Abstract

Corrosion is a persistent and costly issue in various industrial applications, necessitating the development of effective solutions to mitigate its impact. Corrosion-resistant metal-nanoparticle composite coatings have emerged as a promising approach to combat this problem. In this study, the aim is to investigate the influence of varying concentrations of NiSO4, NiCl2, Mo, NH4Cl, and H3BO3 on the nano-particle concentration within these composite coatings. The experimental procedure involved the preparation of composite coatings by dispersing metal nanoparticles within a suitable matrix material. To enhance corrosion resistance, we selected Nickel sulfate (NiSO4), Nickel chloride (NiCl2), Molybdenum (Mo), Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), and boric acid (H3BO3) as metal precursor solutions. Different concentrations of these precursor solutions were utilized to explore their impact on the distribution of nanoparticles.Characterization of the coatings was conducted using advanced analytical techniques, Eenergy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Image analysis methods were employed to quantitatively assess the concentration of nanoparticles in the composite coatings.The results demonstrate the significant influence of NiSO4, NiCl2, Mo, NH4Cl, and H3BO3 concentrations on the nanoparticle distribution within the coatings. By optimizing the combination of these metal precursor solutions, a highly dispersed and uniform nanoparticle distribution can be achieved, leading to improved corrosion resistance in the coatings
