Microbial Corrosion

Microbial Corrosion

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a significant form of material degradation caused by the metabolic activities of microorganisms. This phenomenon poses substantial challenges across various industries, including oil and gas, maritime, and water treatment sectors.MIC occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, archaea, and fungi, colonize metal surfaces, forming biofilms that alter the local electrochemical environment. These biofilms can lead to the production of corrosive...

Background:

MXenes, such as Titanium Carbide (Ti₃C₂), are 2D inorganic compounds known for their hydrophilic surfaces.
Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) nanoparticles possess inherent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.
Combining these materials could lead to enhanced functionalities for various applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize and characterize novel two-dimensional Ti₃C₂-BiOCl nanoparticles.
To investigate the antimicrobial and antioxidant attributes of the synthesized Ti₃C₂-BiOCl nanocomposites.

Main Methods:

Ti₃C₂ MXene was prepared via etching Ti₃AlC₂ with HCl and LiF.
BiOCl nanoparticles were synthesized hydrothermally using bismuth nitrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone.
The Ti₃C₂ and BiOCl components were combined, followed by washing, drying, and calcination.
Characterization was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS).

Main Results:

SEM imaging revealed accordion-like multilayer structures of BiOCl with thin, porous sheet-like morphology.
EDS analysis confirmed the elemental composition and distribution within the synthesized nanocomposites.
The synthesized Ti₃C₂-BiOCl nanoparticles exhibited promising antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

Conclusions:

The study successfully established a method for synthesizing Ti₃C₂-BiOCl 2D nanoparticles.
The characterization confirmed the structural and compositional integrity of the nanocomposites.
The findings highlight the potential of these novel nanoparticles for applications requiring antimicrobial and antioxidant activity.
