Abstract (300 words maximum)
This work represented an in-situ solvothermal deposition of zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66 derivative on an aluminum alloy. Such alteration significantly augmented the corrosion resistance and hydrophobic properties of the aluminum alloy. The observed corrosion resistance of the fabricated film was attributed to come from the resistant nature of the UiO-66 coating that was created and applied to the alloy surface. Electrochemical impedance (EIS) and Potentiodynamic (PDS) was used to assess surface impedance. SEM, FTIR, and XRD were used to understand the morphology and crystal structure of the designed composite materials.
