Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As human civilization continues to develop, our constantly growing demand for energy has called for extensive studies to find novel, effective, and environmentally friendly materials. Metals and metal compounds, such as nanoparticles, composites, and coatings, are attracting wide scientific interest due to the unique properties associated with their multifunctionality in various applications, such as in (photo)catalysis, photovoltaics, energy conversion, storage, and corrosion-resistance devices, various sensors, mixed-oxide varistors, etc., serving large-scale industry needs.

Therefore, we would like to invite you to submit your original research to this Special Issue of Coatings  entitled “Recent Studies of Metal and Metal Compound Coatings: Microstructure, Properties, and Applications”. The goal of this Special Issue includes all aspects of research related to metal and metal compounds properties and applications, including experimental and numerical studies, case studies, and reviews.

We encourage you to submit manuscripts containing scientific findings related, but not limited to, the following topics of interest:

  • Photo(catalytic) coatings;
  • Composite materials for water splitting;
  • Composite materials for energy storage or conversion;
  • The fabrication and characterization of nanoparticle-based coatings;
  • Corrosion protection;
  • Corrosion resistance;
  • Sustainable coatings.

Manganese coatings are excellent for the cathodic protection of steel against corrosion. Although manganese is more electrochemically active than widely used protective coatings of zinc, the exceptional resistance of manganese coatings in neutral and basic media is determined by the film of insoluble corrosion products, which forms on the surface of manganese and greatly suppresses its further corrosion. It is known that the electrodeposition process of Mn coatings from sulphate electrolytes is positively affected by some additives of chalcogenide (S, Se and Te) compounds in the electrolyte. However, a more detailed study on the corrosion properties of Mn coatings electrodeposited from sulphate bath with Te(VI) additive is lacking. In this work, the measurements of free corrosion potential and potentiodynamic polarization in a neutral NaCl solution, as well as the corrosion resistance properties of obtained Mn coatings, were evaluated in a salt spray chamber. It was obtained that the best corrosion resistance was shown by Mn coatings, electrodeposited at the cathodic current density of 15 A⋅dm−2 and at higher temperatures (60 and 80 °C). Meanwhile, the corrosion resistance of phosphated Mn coatings, obtained from a room temperature bath, increased about 5 times and reached up to 1000 h until corrosion of the steel substrate occurred.

This study presents a simple and cost-effective method for producing carbon fibre microcylinder bundle (CFMB) electrodes that are highly stable and reproducible for electrochemical sensing applications. The CFMBs were integrated into a 3D-printed electrochemical cell and tested for dopamine (DA) detection. The results demonstrated a linear increase in current with increasing DA concentration, reaching a sensitivity of 428 nAμM−1 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 8.85 μM. The CFMBs also showed high electrochemical selectivity for DA due to the similar oxidation potentials of dopamine and the chemical groups present on the surface of the CFMBs. The reproducibility of the CFMBs was also demonstrated by the low variation in background currents between different electrodes. These findings highlight the potential of CFMBs as a low-cost and effective platform for electrochemical sensing applications. Full article
