20.500.12556/DKUM-96506 Self-healing efficiency of ceria-doped Zn-Co coatings insights into particle-free versus biphasic plating baths Achieving the superior properties of nanocomposite materials involves addressing several challenges, particularly the agglomeration of nanoparticles in the plating bath. This study focuses on the electrodeposition and characterization of Zn-Co-CeO2composite coatings using a particle-free plating bath, an effective strategy for mitigatingagglomeration. For comparison, the composite coatings were also deposited from a traditional biphasic plating solution. The coatings were deposited galvanostatically at various current densities. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that using a particle-free plating solution in conjunction with lower current densities enhanced the compactness and the overall quality of the coatings. Lower current densities favoured the codeposition of particles, as indicated by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy results. Notably, the coatings produced from the particle-free bath exhibited significantly improved corrosion resistance and durability in chloride-rich environments, attributed to their self-healing properties, as shown by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. smart nanomaterials self-repair ceria-doping nanocomposites pametni nanomateriali nanokompoziti Zn-Co-CeO2 true false true IAPC Publishing (International Association of Physical Chemists) Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://pub.iapchem.org/ojs/index.php/JESE ©2024 by the authors Članek v reviji 2026-01-15 08:00:16 2026-01-15 08:00:16 2026-01-16 03:12:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 15 str. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2024-10-08 2024-10-23 2024-10-26 620.3 214971395 10.5599/jese.2522 1847-9286 jESE_V17_No1_2522.pdf jESE_V17_No1_2522.pdf 1 D789CF216202A659B7B1EACDE3B264EF 623f2e3da91fd89b583ce93e66b5530c33084e2c356e539a03ef0305a3cd8690 c2ad9051-f1e0-11f0-9ca2-00155d580e02 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=202030 https://pub.iapchem.org/ojs/index.php/JESE/article/view/2522 0 c7c8137e-f1e0-11f0-9ca2-00155d580e02 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=202031 Fakulteta za kemijo in kemijsko tehnologijo 0 0 0
