Abstract
Background
Novel organoselenium (OSe) corrosion inhibitors, namely 2-(((4-(benzylselanyl)phenyl)imino)methyl)-5-nitrophenol (BSeOH) and its Ni (II) chelate [Ni(BSeO)2(H2O)2] were synthesized in 90 % and 88 % yields, respectively. Their chemical structures were characterized using different spectroscopic tools.
Methods
The corrosion inhibition efficiency was investigated toward C1018-steel in 1.0 M HCl solutions using potentiodynamic polarization, impedance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, density functional theory, and Monte Carlo simulations. Several quantum chemical parameters were calculated using Density Functional Theory at the B3LYP/6–31G* computational model to elucidate the inhibitory activity of the compounds.
Significant findings
Electrochemical data showed that [Ni(BSeO)2(H2O)2] has more protection efficiency (96.4 %) compared to its ligand BSeOH (93.4 %) at 15.0 × 10−6 M. In addition, the corrosion current density (icor) decreases (245.96 to 8.96 µAcm−2), the charge transfer resistance (Rct) increases (95.15 to 1926.70 Ω cm2), and the admittance (Y0) decreases (173.87 to 18.07 μΩ−1 sn cm−2) with the inhibitors’ dosage indication the formation of a protective adsorbed layer on the steel surface. Furthermore, the BSeOH and [Ni(BSeO)2(H2O)2] inhibitors were spontaneously adsorbed on the steel surface, adhering to the Langmuir isotherm. Moreover, the electrochemical and theoretical results showed that these inhibitors were effectively adsorbed on the C1018-steel surface as a preventive layer. Collectively, the utilization of OSe agents as corrosion inhibitors is a novel approach that combines several advantageous characteristics, including improved efficiency, unique chemical properties, multiple inhibition mechanisms, and the potential for derivatization. Therefore, OSe inhibitors hold significant promise in the field of corrosion prevention and further studies are highly required to develop a more substantial strategy to fight corrosion by applying OSe compounds.
