RESUMO
Herein we report that Ti3AlC2 MXene nanosheets were identified as a highly effective cathodic protection corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in hydrochloric acid solution. Ti3AlC2 Mxene nanosheets form a stable inhibition layer on metal surfaces due to their high adsorption capacity and act as a barrier or protective film to prevent attacks from corrosive substances and thus lead to an extended metal service life.
RESUMO
The Fructus cannabis protein extract powder (FP), was firstly used as a green and high effective corrosion inhibitor through a simple water-extraction method. The composition and surface property of FP were characterized by FTIR, LC/MS, UV, XPS, water contact angle and AFM force-curve measurements. Results indicate that FP contains multiply functional groups, such as NH, CO, CN, CO, etc. The adsorption of FP on the carbon steel surface makes it higher hydrophobicity and adhesion force. The corrosion inhibition performance of FP was researched by electrochemical impedance, polarization curve and differential capacitance curve. Moreover, the inhibitive stability of FP, and the effects of temperature and chloride ion on its inhibition property were also investigated. The above results indicate that the FP exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency (~98 %), and possesses certain long-term inhibitive stability with inhibition efficiency higher than 90 % after 240 h immersion in 1 M HCl solution. The high temperature brings about the FP desorption on the carbon steel surface, while high concentration of chloride ion facilitates the FP adsorption. The adsorption mechanism of FP follows the Langmuir isotherm adsorption. This work will provide an insight for protein as a green corrosion inhibitor.
