Electrochemical studies of prothioconazole as a novel corrosion inhibitor for copper in acidic solutions.

Prothioconazole is a fungicide that has a wide number of applications in agriculture, and it can ensure the safety of crops, users, and the environment. Prothioconazole, as a suppressor of copper dissolution in 0.5 M HSO solution, has been evaluated using electrochemical experiments, weight loss tests, quantum chemical calculations, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
