Summary: | At present, the development of efficient green corrosion inhibitors has become one of the important directions of metal corrosion protection. In this paper, biomass carbon quantum dots (BCQDs) were prepared by hydrothermal reaction using biomass precursors. The optical properties and structural composition of the synthesized BCQDs were characterized in detail. After that, the corrosion inhibition performance of BCQDs was evaluated by EIS, Tafel, SEM and TEM. The electrochemistry and surface tests demonstrate that the aggregates can effectively prevent Q235 steel from corrosion in 1 M HCl medium at 298 K-328 K, with the maximum inhibition efficiency of 94.1 % at the concentration of 200 mg/L at 308 K. Finally, the corrosion inhibition mechanism was analyzed by FTIR, CA and XPS on the surface of the corroded carbon steel samples. The inhibition mechanism suggests that BCQDs can inhibit metal corrosion by self-aggregation and adsorption on metal surface. This is owing to its small size effect and functional groups containing heteroatoms, easily forming dense protective film. |
