Electrochemical investigation of Triadimenol as corrosion inhibitor for copper in 0.5mol/L H_2SO_4 solution

摘要

This paper chose triadimenol as a corrosion inhibitor of copper in 0.5mol/L sulfuric acid. The properties of corrosion inhibition were investigated by the polarization measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Polarization curves showed that both cathodic and anodic processes of copper corrosion were suppressed. The inhibiting efficiency increased as the increment of the inhibitor concentration and reached 86.7% at 50 mg/L. The results obtained from EIS measurements are in line with that obtained from potentiodynamic polarization. Finally, a mechanism of inhibition is proposed and discussed.
