Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) thin films, with thicknesses around 100 nm, were grown on commercial pure- and resin-coated Al substrates using the atomic layer deposition (ALD). A comprehensive and comparative study of corrosion protection was carried out by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements for a set of six samples: two reference samples (Al-bare and Al-resin), and four ALD coated samples (Al-TiO2, Al-Al2O3, Al-resin-TiO2, and Al-resin-Al2O3). The LSV and EIS results display good mutual agreement, indicating a higher protection efficiency of all ALD-coated samples after immersion in NaCl. When compared to Al-bare, all ALD coated samples (TiO2 or Al2O3) showed a corrosion inhibition enhancement factor of 99%. Besides, our results demonstrated that Al-resin+Al2O3 has 24.95% and 33.40% more corrosion inhibition than Al-Al2O3 and Al-resin, respectively. EIS data were fitted by an equivalent electric circuit (EEC). The Nyquist and Bode plots from the experiments showed that ALD films are a potential candidate for altering/improving commercial resin-coated Al cans. (AU)
