Abstract The anticorrosive properties of six (6) selected sulphonamide derivatives on the aluminium surface were investigated in order to reveal their mechanism and mode of adsorption on Al/HCl interface, as well as the strength of the interactions between the inhibitor and Al surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) techniques were utilised to evaluate the inhibition efficiencies of the selected compounds, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were utilised to understand the surface morphology of Al and adsorption sites of the sulphonamides. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were utilised to investigate the strength of interactions between the inhibitor molecules and Al. Corrosive electrolyte of 1 M hydrochloric acid was employed in the study. All the studied sulphonamides showed excellent corrosion inhibition efficiencies with maximum values of up to 95%-97% at the optimum concentrations (4 × 10-5 M - 4 × 10-5 M), based on EIS measurements. The EIS parameters further revealed adsorbed film of the sulphonamides on the Al surface with capacitive-inductive characters. All the six sulphonamides reduced the corrosion current densities for both anodic and cathodic half-reactions and shifted the corrosion potentials to some anodically nobler values as revealed by the PDP data. Adsorption of the sulphonamides at the Al/HCl interface was described by the Langmuir isotherm model. Surface protection properties of the sulphonamides were further confirmed by SEM plates that showed less damaged surface of Al for the inhibited process compared to the uninhibited one. DFT results suggest that the binding energy for the inhibitors on the Al surface results in an energy that is less than 30 kJ/mol, which is an indication that the interactions are van der Waal type of interaction, suggesting physisorption mechanism.

Corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 240 ppm NaCl solution using Calcium D-Pantothenate (Vitamin B5 ) as corrosion inhibitor is studied using electrochemical impedance, potentiodynamic polarization and weight loss studies. From the potentiodynamic polarization studies, icorr (corrosion current density) decreases with increasing the concentration of vitamin B5 (VB5 ). The CR (corrosion rate) decreases and the IE (inhibition efficiency) of VB5 increases on increasing the concentration of VB5 .Surface investigation using SEM, EDX spectra, UV-Vis, FTIR, electrochemical impedance, potentiodynamic polarization and adsorption isotherm parameter of VB5 in 240 ppm NaCl solution shows that VB5 can act asworthy corrosion inhibitors. Quantum chemical data obtained from density functional theory (DFT) calculations also agreed with the experimental outcomes.

The evaluation the anticorrosive performance of two macromolecular aromatic epoxy resins (ERs), namely, tetra glycidyl of ethylene dianiline (TGEDA), hexaglycidyl Tris (p-Ethylene Dianiline) Phosphoric Triamide (HGEDPAT), and their polymer composite reinforced with Zinc for copper corrosion in 3% NaCl by means of computational and experimental analyses. Anticorrosive property of the standards and composites was demonstrated using experimental and computational methods. Electrochemical results showed that HGEDAPT cured with methylene dianiline (MDA) showed better protection efficiency with optimum corrosion current density (icorr) value of 2.0 µcm-2 and the polarization resistance (Rp) value of 17,00 kΩ.cm2 than that of TGEDA-MDA having icorr value of 2.4 µcm-2 and the Rp value of 15.24 kΩ.cm2. The anticorrosive effect of TGEDA-MDA and HGEDAPT-MDA was evaluated in the presence of 5% zinc (Zn). Experimental results demonstrate that the presence of 5% of zinc in TGEDA-MDA and HGEDAPT-MDA formulations significantly enhanced their protection ability. The anticorrosive effect of different formulations followed the order: ER1 (TGEDA-MDA) (potentiodynamic polarization (PDP); 90% and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) 92%) < ER2 (HGEDAPT-MDA) (PDP; 92% and EIS 93%) < ER3 (TGEDA-MDA-5%Zn) (PDP; 96% and EIS 97%) < ER4 (HGEDAPT-MDA-5%Zn) (PDP; 97% and EIS 98.5%). Density Functional Theory (DFT) study revealed that ER1 and ER2 interact with the metallic surface using donor-acceptor interactions in which electron-rich centers acted as the most favorable sites for the interactions. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations studies suggest that ER1 and ER2 acquire flat or horizontal orientations, and their orientations on the metallic surface are largely influenced by the presence of zinc. Different experimental and computational studies are in good agreement.

The initial stages of corrosion of AZ31B magnesium alloy, immersed in Ringer′s solution at 37 °C body temperature for four days, have been evaluated by independent gravimetric and chemical methods and through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The corrosion current densities estimated by hydrogen evolution are in good agreement with the time-integrated reciprocal charge transfer resistance values estimated by EIS. The change in the inductive behavior has been correlated with difference in the chemical composition of corrosion layers. At the shorter immersion of 2 days, EDS analysis of cross section of the uniform corrosion layer detected Cl and Al elements, perhaps as formed aluminum oxychlorides salts.

AbstractThe inhibition action of a Mannich base, N-(1- morpholinobenzyl) semicarbazide (MBS), was examined on AA6061 corrosion in 0.5 M HCl solution at varied temperatures (303 to 323 K). The testing was performed by potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The inhibition performance of MBS was improved with an increment in its concentration (0.01–2.56 mM) and temperature rise (303 to 323 K). MBS showed a mixed inhibitor behavior at all concentrations and temperatures range studied. MBS displayed the highest inhibition efficiency of 98% at 2.56 mM and 323 K. Inhibitor followed mixed adsorption on the alloy surface and obeyed the Langmuir isotherm model. The results obtained from the EIS were in good agreement with that of the PDP results. An appropriate mechanism was proposed for the corrosion inhibition of AA6061. Inhibitor molecules adsorption on alloy surface was confirmed by surface morphology testing by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Theoretical studies using density-functional theory (DFT) confirmed the experimental results.

ABSTRACTKaolinite can be used for many applications, including the underground storage of gases. Density functional theory was employed to investigate the adsorption of hydrogen molecules on the kaolinite (001) surface. The coverage dependence of the adsorption sites and energetics was studied systematically for a wide range of coverage, Θ (from 1/16 to 1 monolayer). The three-fold hollow site is the most stable, followed by the bridge, top-z and top sites. The adsorption energy of H2 decreased with increasing coverage, thus indicating the lower stability of surface adsorption due to the repulsion of neighbouring H2 molecules. The coverage has obvious effects on hydrogen adsorption. Other properties of the H2/kaolinite (001) system, including the lattice relaxation and changes of electronic density of states, were also studied and are discussed in detail.

The inhibition ability of a new Azomethine derivatives containing the 8-hydroxyquinoline (BDHQ and MDHQ) towards carbon steel corrosion in HCl solution was studied at various concentrations and temperatures using weight loss, polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The experimental results reveal that BDHQ and MDHQ are efficient mixed type corrosion inhibitors, and their inhibition efficiencies increase with increasing concentration. The adsorption of these inhibitors on mild steel surface obeys Langmuir isotherm. Quantum chemical parameters are calculated using the Density Functional Theory method (DFT) and Monte Carlo simulations. Correlation between theoretical and experimental results is discussed.

2[2-Oxo-phenyl hydrazinyl ether] benzamide (2BA) was synthesized, characterized and tested effective for corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 1 N H2SO4solution using galvanodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Polarization resistances calculated from the EIS measurements are in good agreement with those obtained from alternating current (AC) polarization measurements. The mild steel samples were also analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The result showed that 2BA is an excellent inhibitor for mild steel in acid medium. The inhibition was assumed to occurviaadsorption of the inhibitor molecule on the metal surface. In the 303-323K temperature range, the 2BA adsorption follows Langmuir isotherm model. The protection efficiency increases with increasing the inhibitor concentration in the range of 250-1000 ppm but slightly decreases with increasing temperature.

The decomposition of GeH 4 on Si (100)(2×1) was investigated on different adsorption models of fragments using density functional theory method. The most probable adsorption model of fragments corresponding to the growth steps of SiGe film has been obtained by geometry optimization and single value total energy calculations. The relative adsorption energies of GeH 3, GeH 2 and GeH have been found to be -5.6, -5.1, and -4.5 eV for their most probable adsorption models respectively. It has been found that, the asymmetric dimer bond rows of Ge on Si (100) surface can be constructed by following the adsorption models corresponding to the relative adsorption energies of GeH 3, GeH 2 and GeH .

The adsorption of the iron tetraphenylporphyrin (FeTPP) molecule in its deckchair conformation was investigated on Au(111), Ag(111) and Cu(111) surfaces by performing spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) calculations taking into account both van der Waals (vdW) interaction and on-site Coulomb repulsion. The deckchair conformation of the molecule favours intermolecular π–π-type interactions in a less densely packed monolayer than the saddle conformation. The activation barrier between the two stable magnetic states (high spin, S = 2 and intermediate spin, S = 1) of the molecule in vacuum disappears upon adsorption on the metal surfaces. The high-spin state of physisorbed FeTPP is stable on all adsorption sites. This result reveals that an external permanent element such as a STM tip or an additional molecule is needed to use FeTPP or similar molecules as model system for molecular spin switches.
