Abstract:Rationale
This work presents the first surface analysis investigation of 2‐phenylimidazole (PhI) as a corrosion inhibitor for brass in a 3 wt.% NaCl solution using time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF‐SIMS) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
Methods
A time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometer was used to describe the elemental and molecular specific signals on the brass surface. Gas cluster/monoatomic ion beam depth profiling and two‐dimensional (2D) imaging showed the surface prop… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
