The invention provides a composite
corrosion inhibitor
electrolyte, an application thereof and a
magnesium air battery, and belongs to the field of air batteries. In the invention, La<3+> in lanthanumnitrate can react with OH<-> in the solution to generate
lanthanum hydroxide to precipitate, and the structure and appearance of a passive film are changed, so that
hydrogen evolution is inhibited, the damage effect of
nitrate ions on the passive film is weak, and the integrity of the primary passive film is ensured, thereby having a good protection effect on internal battery materials, and inhibiting the
hydrogen evolution. CTAB is a cationic surfactant, can significantly reduce the
surface tension, change the surface state of
metal /
electrolyte, gather on the surface of active
metal by utilizing the
electrostatic adsorption of NH<2+>, reduce the
surface energy of the
metal and increase the
corrosion activation energy, thereby slowing down the
corrosion rate, and simultaneously forming alayer of hydrophobic protection film on the
surface layer of the metal, thus hindering the charge and
ion transfer, hindering the reaction process and reducing the corrosion rate.
