▎ 摘  要

Metals used in the electronics, machinery manufacturing, and construction industry are often chemically reactive and corrosion-prone, while barriers on a metal as a conventional method for anticorrosion always have negative effects including a toxic nature, thickness increase over time, and changes of electrical and optical properties after surface coating. This study employs a benzene solution to induce a rapid formation of a polycrystalline graphene film on copper foils or iron sheet substrates under atmospheric conditions by electromagnetic induction, which is non-toxic and environment-friendly and produces favorable anticorrosive effects. The microscopic analysis shows that the as-grown film is a polycrystalline graphene complex of graphene crystallites. It is revealed that the copper foils or iron sheets with the graphene film is significantly resistant to strong corrosion, with the corrosion current density is one order of magnitude lower when compared with samples without the graphene films. The polycrystalline structure of the graphene film can prevent the electronic conduction of the surface, thereby reducing corrosion and local over-corrosion phenomena when metals are situated in a long-term exposure to corrosive environments.
