AI Article Synopsis

  • The use of eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors is important for environmental protection and sustainable industrial practices.
  • Two new thiourea-based inhibitors, GA-1 and GA-2, were developed to prevent corrosion of mild steel in hydrochloric acid.
  • GA-2 showed particularly impressive results, achieving a 97.7% inhibition efficiency at a concentration of 0.64 mM, with theoretical calculations used to explain how these inhibitors work on the metal surface.

Article Abstract

In the view of environmental protection and sustainable development, the application of green effective inhibitors for metal corrosion in industry field is of great significance. In this work, two thiourea functionalized glucosamine derivatives, 5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-4-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutyl)imidazolidine-2-thione (GA-1) and 1-phenyl-3-(2,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-yl)thiourea (GA-2), were synthesized as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors for mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl solution, and their inhibition performance were evaluated by electrochemical tests and surface analyses. The electrochemical tests and surface analyses indicate that both GA-1 and GA-2 have high inhibition performance. Especially for GA-2, the inhibition efficiency reaches 97.7% with a concentration of 0.64 mM. Theoretical calculations were also conducted to elucidate the adsorption mechanism of GA-1 and GA-2 on MS surface.

The objective of the study was to synthesize tetrazole molecules featuring nitro groups positioned at the para and meta locations. We aimed to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion of mild steel in a 1 M HCl solution at 298 K. Tetrazoles with 2,5-disubstitution were created using [3 + 2] cycloaddition and N-alkylation techniques, with a particular emphasis on synthesizing molecules that contain nitro groups.

Molecular Mechanism of Unexpected Metal-Independent Hydroxyl Radical Production by Mercaptotriazole and HO.

It is well known that hydroxyl radical (OH) can be largely produced either through the classic iron-mediated inorganic-Fenton system or our recently discovered haloquinones/HO organic-Fenton-like system, but rarely produced via thiol compounds. Here, unexpectedly, we found that OH can be unequivocally generated by incubation of HO and mercaptotriazole (MTZ), a typical heterocyclic thiol which has been used as an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor for mild steel. By the complementary applications of HPLC-MS and oxygen-18 isotope-labeling method, MTZ-derived sulfenic (MTZ-SOH) and sulfinic acids were detected and identified as transient intermediates, and sulfonic acid as final products.

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are an appealing electrochemical energy storage solution due to their affordability and safety. Significant attention has been focused on vanadium oxide cathode materials for ZIBs, owing to their high specific capacity, unique layered or tunnel structures, and low cost. Compared to traditional methods for preparing and assembling electrode materials, direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering allows direct synthesis and uniform deposition on current collectors, offering advantages such as simplicity, mild reaction conditions, and strong film adhesion.
