Review Superhydrophobic Nickel Coatings for Corrosion Protection by Electrodeposition

Abstract

Metals that come into contact with a humid atmosphere containing corrosive compounds including chloride, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and others will corrosion and cause material degradation. If corrosion is not managed, it can result in business losses and risk safety. These coatings have proven to be excellent candidates for preserving metals against corrosion because they offer a barrier between the metal and its environment. Nickel is a hydrophilic metal (likes water),it requires a superhydrophobic coating that uses the lotus effect to clean the substrate of impurities while also preventing the formation of a moisture layer on the surface due to its angle. Increase the roughness of the surface structure in the micro-nano hierarchical and reduce the surface tension to increase the water contact angle to achieve a surface with good superhydrophobic qualities. Several researchers, However, several researchers have succeeded in generating superhydrophobic nickel layers on a diverse matrix in a variety of ways, one of which is the electrodeposition method. This method is useful since it does not take long and provides a superhydrophobic layer that is uniform
