Abstract
Two environmentally friendly inhibitors of imidazolium-based ionic liquids namely 3-benzyl-1-hexadecyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (IL-H), and 3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1-hexadecyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (IL-Cl) were manufactured and their chemical structures were confirmed by spectra tools (FT-IR, and 1H NMR). The utilizing of these two new ionic liquids as green corrosion inhibitors for low carbon steel (LCS) in 1.0 M HCl under altered experimental conditions. Mass loss (ML), potentiodynamic polarization (PP), AC impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and surface morphology are take place in this study. The protection performance found to increase with increasing ionic liquid dose and temperature, reaching 92.9% and 95.1% for IL-H and IL-Cl at 120 ppm, respectively. Based on the PP records, the investigated ionic liquids behave as mixed-type inhibitors, influencing both anodic and cathodic responses. The inhibitory activity from these explored ionic liquids was stimulated by their adsorption on the effective surfaces of the steel surface in accordance with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) method is used to analyze the relationship between quantum chemical calculations and the protection efficiency of ionic liquids.
