Abstract
This work developed a benzothiazole derivative named 2-(4-Morpholinothio)benzothiazole (MB) to replace toxic corrosion inhibitors. Based on EIS, Polarization curve, weight loss, SEM, LSCM, Langmuir adsorption, and theoretical calculation, the anti-corrosion ability of MB for copper in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 was explored. It was worth noting that the η value reached 94% when the concentration of MB was 1 mM. The supreme anti-corrosion ability of MB for copper could be attributed to a compact MB film formed on the copper surface. Langmuir adsorption and theoretical calculation appropriately demonstrated the anti-corrosion mechanism of MB film on the copper surface from the thermodynamic and molecular levels. We hope this work can accumulate experience in organic corrosion inhibitor research.
2-(4-Morpholinothio)benzothiazole (MB) effectively inhibits copper corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution, with a 94% value achieved at 1 mM concentration.
