Growth Kinetics And Breakdown Of Passive Films On Rebar Electrodes In Simulated Cement Pore Solution, Wei Chu, Yuanxiang Shi, Baoming Wei, Yong Yang, Xuguang Chen, Zugeng Lin
Journal of Electrochemistry
The growth kinetics and breakdown of passive films on REBAR electrodes insimulated cement solution (pH=12.5 and 13.8) have been investigated using in situ photoelectrochemical methods and potential step method. The results show that there are two mainstages in the growth of the film, with two rate functions characterized by linear relation between thefilm thickness and the direct logarithm of time. There is a sign in laser-scanning photoelectrochemical microscopic image just before the passive film breaks down. The addition of inhibitor NaNO2 changes the growth kinetics and thickness of the film, and therefore improves the resistance of pitting corrosion induced …

Journal of Electrochemistry
The electronic properties of the passive film on REBAR electrodes in simulatedcement pore solution (pH=9.0～13.8) have been investigated using in-situ photoelectrochemical methods. The results show that the passive film is composed of mixed oxides of ferrum, and it is an amorphous, n-type semiconductive film. Variations of pH values, ions in the solution and film-formation potentials can affect the composition of the films. There are two main stages in the growthof the film, with two rate functions characterized by linear relation between the film thickness and thelogarithm of time. The addition of inhibitor NaNO2 changes the composition, structure and growth …
