Abstract:
      Objective To research the photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance of g-C3N4/C-Dots-M of the composite material. Methods The structure and morphology of the samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance was studied by testing the cathodic protection current density-time and potential-time of g-C3N4/C-Dots- Mcomposite material under visible light illumination. Results Under visible light illumination, the mixed potential of the g-C3N4/C-Dots-550 composite coupled with 316L SS dropped to ?0.43 V, and the photoinduced current density of the couple reached 4.3 μA/cm2. Conclusion Compared to pure g-C3N4, g-C3N4/C-Dots-M composites showed enhanced photoelectrochemical cathodic protection performance. This is due to the excellent electrical conductivity of carbon quantum dots. This composite shows tremendous potential in application of photoelectrochemical cathodic protection.
