Abstract

The development of boron carbide films is of greater importance in the electronic industry as it finds application in producing high-performance field-effect transistors and capacitors besides its application as an anti-corrosion coating material in electronic devices. The manuscript explores the possibility of developing green synthesized boron carbide coating for corrosion resistance. Hydrothermally synthesized boron carbide and RF sputtered thin film samples are subjected to morphological and structure characterizations. The corrosion studies under the electric field and weight loss method reveal good corrosion resistance and reinforcement action in the mild steel plate with boron carbide coating. The contact angle study shows the hydrophobic nature of the coating. The study unveils the potential of green synthesized boron carbide for developing thin films for electronic and corrosion resistance applications.
