▎ 摘  要

The development of radically new types of corrosion-resistant cement composites is nowadays compulsory in view of the continuous increase of concrete consumption combined with the intrinsically defective nature of concrete. Among various additives being employed in the concrete technology, carbon nanomaterials have emerged as extremely powerful components capable of remarkably enhancing nano- and microstructures as well as properties of cement-based composites. In this study, we demonstrate that cement mortar incorporating electrochemically exfoliated graphene (EEG) exhibits significantly improved fluid transport properties. The addition of 0.05 wt % of EEG to ordinary Portland cement mortar results in the reduction of initial and secondary sorptivity values by 21 and 25%, respectively. This leads to the outstanding resistance of EEG-cement composites to highly corrosive environments, namely, chloride and sulfate solutions. These observations, combined with the previously reported remarkable enhancement of the tensile strength of EEG-cement mortars, represent a major step toward the development of highly durable graphene-based cement composites.
