We present a novel point of view to fabricate an enhanced stability controllable growing, large-scale, direct, fast and template assisted nanostructure ZnO with twin –OH group terminated of compound containing –OH group by electrochemical deposition (ECD). In this paper, the collected potassium acid phthalate with twin –OH group was printed to form a matrix as template to synthesize a ZnO nanostructure. Structural analyses showed that the ZnO nanostructure is wurtzite in structure, without any secondary phases. Various features of Raman mapping and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the as-prepared ZnO were found to mark variety of the characteristic of the as-prepared ZnO before and after tape test. A direct link between growing ZnO and potassium acid phthalate with twin –OH group was established, suggesting that this special twin –OH group between nanostructure ZnO and substrate (stainless steel) plays a vital role in forming a firm nanostructure ZnO film on the surface of the substrate. Furthermore, we raised a mechanism to explicate the functional process of twin –OH group on ZnO film. We believe that this facile method to fabricate a controllable nanostructure ZnO here is equally applicable to other semiconductors which are critical in optoelectronics, lasing and luminescence applications.

The deposition of diamond phase carbon films on stainless steel substrates by an ionized deposition technique has been studied. A molybdenum grid used during argon ion sputtering had a decisive role in improving the morphology and adhesion ability of the substrate surface. The chemical composition of the surface was obtained by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, indicating the reduction of oxygen, carbon, and other contamination, while the surface morphology of the substrate obtained by scanning electron microscopy showed less roughness with a partially smooth surface. Attempts to extract the deposited films from the pretreated substrate surface by a superadhesive agent with an adhesion of 250 kg/cm2 failed, yielding a much stronger adhesion for the pretreated surface. This fact was also supported by examining the surface morphology, hardness, and the resistivity of the films deposited on the same substrates. As for the crystal structure of diamond phase carbon films on stainless steel, selected area diffraction patterns obtained from transmission electron microscopy suggested a mixture of amorphous carbon and polycrystalline diamond components.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the protective, anticorrosion properties of silane- and polyrhodanine-based bilayer coatings pRh/IBTES and IBTES/pRh on an X20Cr13 stainless steel substrate. Design/methodology/approach IBTES/pRh and pRh/IBTES have been coated using the dip-coating method and the cyclic voltammetry technique. The electrochemical measurements have been used to assess the anticorrosion properties of the resulting bilayer coatings. Morphological and chemical characterizations have been performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Findings The results clearly show that the combination of both the deposits of polyrhodanine and silane yields a more protective structure that affords better protection against corrosion with time. The best barrier properties are achieved by the substrates coated with polyrhodanine film upon which silane is subsequently adsorbed – the pRh/IBTES bilayer coating. Originality/value The paper reveals that the procedure of modification of silane films with polyrhodanine had a marked effect on the anti-corrosive performance of the obtained two types of bilayers coatings (pRh/IBTES, IBTES/pRh) applied on a stainless steel surface. The coating where polyrhodanine was first electrodeposited on the steel surface and then the silane layer adsorbed (pRh/IBTES) achieved the best protective properties.

AbstractThe paper presents the analysis of formation of interfacial layer during deposition of diamond like carbon film (DLC) on the 316L stainless steel by capacitive plasma discharge in the CH4atmosphere. The structure of the interfacial layer of DLC film was strongly affected by the temperature increase during the initial stages of the process. Initially, thin interfacial layer of 5 nm has been formed. As the temperature had reached 210°C, the second phase of the process was marked by the onset of carbon atoms diffusion into the steel and by the interface thickness increase. Finally, the growth of chromium carbide interface, the upward diffusion of chromium and nickel atoms to film, the etching and the decrease of the DLC film thickness were observed at 233°C. These investigations were carried out ex-situ by spectroscopic ellipsometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

We demonstrated the deposition of the architecture of graphene oxide on stainless steel substrate and its potential environmental application. The synthesis and characterization of graphene oxide were described. The controlled formation of graphene oxide coatings in the form of the homogenous structure on stainless steel is demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The structure, morphology and properties of the material were assessed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The morphology and stability of these structures are shown to be particularly related to the pre-treatment of stainless steel substrate before the electrophoretic deposition. This approach opens up a new route to the facile fabrication of advanced electrode coatings with potential use in environmental applications.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized on austenitic stainless steel foils (Type 304) using a home-built thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen (H2) and acetylene (C2H2). During the growth, the stainless steel substrates were heated at different temperatures of 600, 700, 800, and 900°C. It was found that MWCNTs were grown on the stainless steel substrates heated at 600, 700, and 800°C while amorphous carbon film was grown at 900°C. The diameters of MWCNTs, as identified by scanning electron microscope (SEM) images together with ImageJ software program, were found to be 67.7, 43.0, and 33.1 nm, respectively. The crystallinity of MWCNTs was investigated by an X-ray diffractometer. The number of graphitic walled layers and the inner diameter of MWCNTs were investigated using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The occurrence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles associated with carbon element can be used to reveal the behavior of Fe in stainless steel as catalyst. Raman spectroscopy was used to confirm the growth and quality of MWCNTs. The results obtained in this work showed that the optimum heated stainless steel substrate temperature for the growth of effective MWCNTs is 700°C. Chemical states of MWCNTs were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) using synchrotron light.

Electrodeposited Ni and Ni-diamond composite layers were used as diffusion barriers for Fe to facilitate the diamond growth on stainless steel substrates. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy show the formation of good quality diamond crystallites by chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the expansion of Ni unit cell has taken place due to the formation of the Ni–C solid solution. This observation is also well supported by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The lattice constant of the expanded Ni unit cell matches closely with the diamond, and this may be helpful in explaining the epitaxial growth of diamond on single-crystal Ni observed by others.

TiO2 thin films were prepared on soda lime glass, fused quartz and stainless steel substrates by liquid phase deposition (LPD) method from a (NH4)2TiF6 aqueous solution upon the addition of boric acid (H3BO3), and then calcined at 500oC for 2 h. The prepared films were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the substrates obviously influenced the element composition and microstructure of TiO2 thin films. Except Ti, O and a small amount of F and N elements, which came from the precursor solution, some Si (or Fe) element in the thin films deposited on soda lime glass and quartz substrates (or on stainless steel substrate) was confirmed. The Si (or Fe) element in the thin films could be attributed to two sources. One was from the SiF6 2- ions (or FeF6 2- ions) formed by a reaction between the treatment solution and soda lime glass or quartz (or stainless steel) substrates. The other was attributed to the diffusion of Si (or Fe) from the surface of substrates into the TiO2 thin films after calcination at 500oC. The Si (or Fe) element in the TiO2 thin films could behave as a dopant and resulted in the formation of composite SiO2/TiO2 (or Fe2O3/TiO2) thin films on the substrates.

Single crystals of pure potassium acid phthalate (KAP) and magnesium-cobalt (Mg2+-Co2+) co-doped potassium acid phthalate crystals were grown by an isothermal evaporation method. Optically transparent and coloured KAP single crystals were grown by doping divalent bimetallic impurities. Enhancement of the metastable zonewidth was achieved by the addition of co-doped bimetallic impurities in KAP solution. It is anticipated that these larger cations play a vital role in the growth mechanism and it favours to reduce the formation of secondary nucleation by positioning the doped metal ions into the interstitial sites. The XRD results confirm that the incorporation of bimetallic ions into the KAP crystal lattice. The optical transmission is found to decrease in Mg-Co doped crystals compared to that of pure KAP.
