“…The semicircle at low frequency region equals to the response at metal/polymer interface and the one at high frequency region vests in the process at polymer/electrolyte, 28 and the high frequency feature can be attributed to the coating. 38 It can be seen from Figure 7 and Table II that one semicircle was present, the charge transfer resistance (R ct ) of bare stainless steel, stainless steel coated by PANI, PANI-PEG1, PANI-CTAB1, and PANI-SDBS1 are 0.220, 0.894, 8.751, 2.252, and 2.139 kXcm 2 , respectively, and other specimens show same trend. That's because the superhydrophobic surface blocks the corrosive medium and the electrode surface and an air protection shield function is achieved, which reduces the electron transfer ability between the electrode and the medium, and slows down the process of corrosion reaction.…”
