Abstract
During alkaline seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production, the equipment operates for long periods in a high-temperature, highly alkaline, and chloride-rich environment. Structural materials are therefore prone to severe corrosion, which directly affects the long-term stability and service life of the electrolytic system. The work aims to compare the inhibition performance of four inorganic inhibitors including sodium molybdate (Na2MoO4), sodium tungstate (Na2WO4), sodium phosphate (Na3PO4), and vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) on 316L austenitic stainless steel (316L SS) and 2205 duplex stainless steel (2205 DSS) in a simulated electrolytic seawater electrolyte (6.0 mol/L NaOH, 2.0 mol/L NaCl, 90 ℃), and propose mechanistic explanations supported by film chemistry evidence.
Inhibition performance was firstly evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A 14-day static full-immersion weight-loss test was then used to verify long-term protection, yielding the corrosion rate (CR) and inhibition efficiency (IE). Post-corrosion surface morphology and roughness evolution were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical profilometry (OP) to reveal corrosion-product coverage, pit development, and surface roughening. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to determine the elemental composition and valence states of surface films, thereby linking electrochemical responses with film chemistry.
For both stainless steels, V2O5 and Na3PO4 produced the most pronounced improvements, whereas Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4 were less effective in this highly alkaline chloride environment. EIS fitting showed that V2O5 markedly increased the film resistance (Rf) and charge-transfer resistance (Rct), indicating enhanced barrier protection and suppressed charge-transfer kinetics. For 316L SS, 0.05 mol/L V2O5 gave Rct = 29 770 Ω·cm2 and Rf = 923.50 Ω·cm2, and the CPEf parameter Y0 was the lowest with n = 1, suggesting reduced dispersion and a denser, more uniform film. Na3PO4 also increased interfacial impedance. For 316L SS, when Na3PO4 increased from 0.01 to 0.05 mol/L, Rct rose from 26 480 to 28 680 Ω·cm2 and Rf increased from 185.60 to 478.80 Ω·cm2, while IE increased from 69.49% to 72.10%. For 2205 DSS, the IE of 0.05 mol/L Na3PO4 was 58.38%. The IE values of Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4 were lower.
The 14-day immersion results further demonstrated the best inhibition performance of V2O5. For 316L SS, the CR in the inhibitor-free solution was 0.020 9 mm/a, indicating severe damage to the native passive film at 90 ℃ in 6.0 mol/L NaOH, 2.0 mol/L NaCl. After addition of V2O5, the CR decreased to 0.005 5 mm/a (0.01 mol/L) and 0.004 2 mm/a (0.05 mol/L). For 2205 DSS, the CR was 0.004 8 mm/a. After addition of V2O5, it decreased to 0.001 1 and 0.000 5 mm/a, corresponding to IE values of 77.08% and 89.58%. SEM/OP results showed that 316L SS in the inhibitor-free solution was covered with loose, piled corrosion products and exhibited typical uniform corrosion. After addition of Na3PO4 and especially V2O5, corrosion products were greatly reduced, and surface roughness decreased. For 2205 DSS, pitting dominated in the inhibitor-free solution. After addition of Na3PO4 or V2O5, pit density decreased, indicating improved film integrity.
XPS showed coexistence of V4+ and V5+ in the V2O5 system, together with changes in Fe 2p binding energy, indicating that vanadium participated in film construction and altered the local chemical environment of Fe in the film. In the Na3PO4 system, PO43--related signals appeared and the Fe spectra changed accordingly, supporting the formation of a phosphate-containing composite film. Based on electrochemical, immersion, and characterization evidence, it is concluded that the superior performance of V2O5 and Na3PO4 in the coupled high-temperature, highly alkaline, chloride-rich environment arises from their ability to build denser composite protective films (V-rich or phosphate-containing), which enhances barrier properties and suppresses interfacial charge transfer. By contrast, Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4 mainly act through passivation/deposition and are more susceptible to chloride competition and film destabilization under these conditions, resulting in weaker overall protection.
