Synthesis and Corrosion Inhibition Potential of Cerium/Tetraethylenepentamine Dithiocarbamate Complex on AA2024-T3 in 3.5% NaCl

Abstract

In this work, a cerium/tetraethylenepentamine dithiocarbamate complex was synthesized and evaluated for the corrosion inhibition capability on an AA2024-T3 Al alloy in a 3.5% NaCl medium. The synthesized compounds were characterized via spectroscopic techniques. The corrosion inhibition behaviour of the complex was elucidated by electrochemical measurements and surface analysis techniques. Based on electrochemical test results, the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the complex increases with the immersion time of aluminium alloy in the test solution. The corrosion inhibition reaches 96.80% when the aluminium is immersed in a 3.5% NaCl solution containing a corrosion inhibitor for 120 h. The potentiodynamic polarization test results show that the complex acts as a mixed-type corrosion inhibitor and the passive range is widened. The surface analysis methods reveal that the corrosion inhibition ability of the complex originated from the formation of a protective layer on the Al surface. This film is created from the physisorption and chemisorption of cerium ions and organic parts simultaneously released from the complex molecules.

Corrosion inhibition effects of organic compounds on carbon steel research progress: a visualization analysis based on CiteSpace

“…At the same time, theoretical analysis methods have also attracted the attention of researchers, such as adsorption isotherms, thermodynamic parameters, density functional theory (DFT), Monte Carlo simulation (MC), molecular dynamics simulation (MD), quantum mechanics (QM), etc Molecular modeling help researchers understand and explain the corrosion inhibition mechanism of organic compounds and their adsorption forms on metal surfaces from a microscopic level. Some scholars verified the existence of the adsorption layer by comprehensively using the above methods and clarified that the adsorption process presents mixed-type adsorption characteristics [53]. For more research cases, see table 7.…”

“…The peaks of N 1s represent pyrrolic N and amine groups, and the peaks of O 1s are assigned to the binding energies of C]O, C-O, and the peak of 535 eV indicates the oxygen atom in their moieties like H 2 O and OH as the binding energy of water was sensitive to total surface coverage. 63 The main component of N in the as-prepared CQDs is the pyrrolic N, formed through the dehydrolysis reaction between carboxyl and amine groups. According to previous reports, the pyrrolic N is believed to increase the electronic cloud density of CQD surfaces, ultimately enhancing luminescence efficiency.…”
