Abstract

The inhibition capacity of carbon steel (CS) in 0.5M H2SO4 by three 8-hydroxyquinoline grafted triazole derivatives (EHTC, AHTC, and MHTC) have been investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PPD), and weight loss measurements (WLM) at 298 K. Generally, the results clearly show that the inhibition performance (η %) increases with an increase in the concentration of EHTC, MHTC, and AHTC, reaching a maximum value of 95.5% (EHTC), 95.1% (MHTC), and 94.1% (AHTC) at the optimal concentration (10−3 M) for PPD technical. The PPD shows that EHTC, AHTC, and MHTC behave as mixed-type inhibitors. In addition, the inhibitor obeys the single layer adsorption isotherm of Langmuir. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the CS has also been investigated and discussed. The theoretical calculations and MD simulations show a better correlation with the experimental results for the studied triazole derivatives.
