Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) ornamented with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was manufactured by a simplistic solution‐created methodology in chitosan (CS) solution. The morphology and elemental composition of AgNPs/GO/CS nanocomposite were considered by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, respectively. The effects of AgNPs/GO/CS nanocomposite on the corrosion behavior of stainless steel were considered by electrochemical measurements and immersion assessments. The effects of pH, temperature and surface modification on the corrosion protection of stainless steel were investigated in constant composition of universal buffer by impedance, polarization and cyclic voltammetry techniques. Temperature and pH values were found to strongly influence the corrosion protection of stainless steel; the protection efficiency progressively reduced with enlarging the temperature and lessening the pH value. This study gives a new tactic for modifying commercial utensils utilizing safe and cost-effective graphene oxide for improving its action.
