Nanoscopic and in-situ cross-sectional observations of Li-based conversion coating formation using liquid-phase TEM

Abstract Lithium salts have been proposed as promising environmentally friendly alternatives to carcinogenic hexavalent chromium-based inhibitors for the corrosion protection of aerospace aluminium alloys (AAs). Incorporated into organic coatings, lithium salts are released at damaged locations to e...
