摘要

The corrosion resistance of FeCoNi MEA in 3.5% NaCl solution with different concentrations of NaHCO3 was systematically studied. The results show that the addition of HCO3 effectively improves the anti-corrosion property of the MEA, which is mainly verified by the nobler pitting potential (Ep), the decreased passive current density (ip), and donor density (ND). The protective effect of HCO3 is due to the competitive adsorption between HCO3 and Cl to some extent. Moreover, the presence of HCO3 changes the composition of passive film, increases the contents of iron oxides with low electrochemical activity, reduces the amount of holes, and enhances its protective performance. In addition, after the participation of HCO3, the possibility that metastable pitting transforms into stable pitting is reduced, as well as both the quantity and size of pits on the MEA exhibit a tendency of decline. The comprehensive dissolution of all elements occurs in the MEA substrate, inducing the generation of pitting corrosion.
