Application of TiO2 Nanotube As Photoelectrode For Corrosion Prevention Of Stainless Steel In pH Variation of NaCl
Aplikasi TiO2 Nanotube sebagai Fotoelektroda untuk Pencegahan Korosi Stainless Steel pada Variasi pH NaCl
Abstract
The research amis to synthesize TiO2 nanotube photoelectrode (TiO2-NT) by anodizing method. The photoelectrodes applied in photoelectrochemical system to prevent the corrosion of steel. Anodizing method carried out by preparing an electrochemical system consisting of a titanium plate as anode and Pt wire as cathode in electrolyte containing glycerol, ammonium fluoride and water. Voltage applied from the DC current source and followed by thermal treatment at a temperature of 500oC. The photoelectrode further characterized by using X-Ray Diffraction and Surface Area Analyzer. The result of anti-corrosion test of stainless steel 304 by TiO2-NT showed that photopotential value of steel shifted to the more negative value in UV light. The significant potential shift occurs at pH 8 and the corrosion rate of stainless steel 304 couple with TiO2-NT decrease reaches 1.7 times. It concluded that the photoelectrodes can be used to reduce the corrosion rate of stainless steel 304 by utilizing sollar energy as a source of UV light.
