The X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD) was used for the structural analysis of Ni-CeONRs composite coatings and their average crystalline size is ～22 nm for pure Ni and ～18 nm,respectively. The crystalline structure is fcc for the Ni-CeOnanocomposite coatings. The surface morphology of the electrodeposited Ni-CeONRs composite coatings was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Microhardness of pure Ni and Ni-CeONRs composite coatings are found to be 253 HV and 824 HV, respectively. The inclusion of CeONRs increases the microhardness of Ni-CeONRs composite coatings. The corrosion resistance behavior of Ni-CeONRs composite coating was evaluated by Tafel polarization and AC impedance methods. It is revealed that CeONRs reinforced Ni matrix shows higher microhardness and corrosion resistance than existing reported electrodeposited pure Ni and CeOnanoparticles reinforced Ni coatings.展开更多
