The influence of the concentration of 1-Butyl-4-methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate (4MBPBF4) as ionic liquid (IL) on the corrosion of copper in 0.5 M PO43− solutions of pH 2 and 4 was studied. The research involved electrochemical polarization method, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique...
