Abstract
Fluorescent corrosion indicators potentially locate the underlying corrosion on metallic substrates based on sensing metal ions caused by corrosion reactions. Nanoparticles loaded with indicators are significant components of the fluorescence corrosion detection system. These fluorescent coatings face challenges (including fluorescence quenching, sluggish response rate, and expensive instrumentation). To tackle such issues, we have developed 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) loaded oxygen-deficient vanadium oxide (VOx) nanorods (∼220 nm in length and ∼50 nm in width) via solvothermal technique yielding enhanced fluorescence efficiency. 8-HQ/VOx/Ac2403 was utilized to develop a fluorescent corrosion sensing coating for AA2024-T3. The system is designed to detect corrosion within the first few days to weeks after exposure to corrosive conditions by making a complex by reacting with metal ions (Al3+), resulting in a reduction and bright blueish fluorescence effect in the exposure of UV light and can be seen with the naked eye. As a result, fluorescent corrosion-sensing coatings provide a practical substitute for typical coatings to satisfy rising industrial demands by providing corrosion sensing before significant structural damage occurs.
