Corrosion
tests were performed on a cylindrical C38 steel sample from Tacinas
Company (France). Its chemical composition (wt %) was 0.360 C, 0.230
Si, 0.680 Mn, 0.016 S, 0.077 Cr, 0.011 Ti, 0.059 Ni, 0.009 Co, 0,160
Cu, and 98.388 Fe according to the French standard. The C38 steel
surface was coated in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ribbon, leaving
a free circular basal working surface of 0.785 cm2. To
obtain reproducible results, the working electrode was polished with
silicon carbide abrasive papers of different grades (100, 1200, 2500,
and 4000) from the most abrasive to the least abrasive. Corrosive
solutions (1 M HCl and 0.5 M H2SO4) were prepared
from commercial solutions of 37% HCl (Scharlau) and 98% H2SO4 (Scharlau) and distilled water.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Modified Hummer’s routine was used to synthesis the GO nanosheets [20 (link),40 (link)]. Initially, 2 g graphite flakes (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were dissolved in 300 mL of sulfuric acid (H2SO4, 98%, Scharlab S.L., Barcelona, Spain) at ambient temperature and stirred well for 15 min. Then, 2 g potassium permanganate (KMnO4, Nihon Shiyaku Industries Ltd., Osaka, Japan) was mixed with above solution with continuous stirring. A subsequent amount of KMnO4 was added slowly when the green MnO3− color diminished and total of 10 g KMnO4 was added. An appropriate amount of ice cubes was mixed into the solution once completing the reaction. Afterwards, the chemical reactions of graphene exfoliation process were performed in an ice bath, resulting in the solution exposing a purple color. After being leftover overnight, the precipitate was isolated from the solution and dissolved in 100 mL deionized (DI) water. The precipitate was washed with DI water many times until the pH became neutral. The precipitate GO particles were separated using centrifugation and dried at 60 °C under vacuum oven. The dried sample was again dispersed in DI water to form GO solution.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
