Abstract: | Polypyrrole (PPy) films were deposited on copper from “green” inhibitor of phytic acid solution for corrosion protection of copper. The corrosion protection property of the PPy layer was studied by an immersion test in a NaCl aqueous solution. The polymerization process of PPy on copper changed with the pH values of phytic acid solution and current density applied. When one oxidized bare copper in phytic acid solution at various pHs containing pyrrole monomer, a thin layer consisting of complex compound of Cu-phytate was firstly formed, followed by the formation of the PPy layer doped with phytate anion on the complex compound layer. The complex compound layer passivated the copper surface and its thickness increased with the lower pH value of the solution and the lower current density applied. It was found that the PPy coating prepared in the phytic acid solution at pH 4 exhibit the most protective property against copper corrosion. |
