Combined electronic/atomic level computational, surface (SEM/EDS), chemical and electrochemical studies of the mild steel surface by quinoxalines derivatives anti-corrosion properties in 1 mol·L-1 HCl solution
This work is devoted to the study of the inhibition of corrosion of mild steel (MS) in molar hydrochloric acid (1 mol·L
-1
HCl) by two named quinoxaline derivatives namely
2-(2
4-dichlorophenyl)-1
4-dihydroquinoxaline (
HQ
) and 2-(2
4-dichlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1
4-dihydroquinoxaline (
CQ
). The inhibitory efficacy of
HQ
and
CQ
compounds is first evaluated using the gravimetric method and using electrochemical techniques (stationary and transient techniques). The results showed that our compounds are efficient corrosion inhibitors and the inhibition rates (
η
EIS
%) reached up to 91% and 94.2% at 10
-3
mol·L
-1
for
HQ
and
CQ
respectively. The mentioned molecules are classified as mixed-type inhibitors. The adsorption of these inhibitors on the surface of steel in hydrochloric HCl 1 mol·L
-1
medium obeys the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The results of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed the formation of a protective film on the surface of the steel in the presence of the
inhibitors studied. Elementary analysis is obtained by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The inhibition property was further elucidated by theoretical approaches such as:Density Functional Theory (
DFT
)
quantum chemical descriptors (
QCD
)
local reactive indices
solvent effect
theoretical complexation
Molecular Dynamic (
MD
) simulation
effect of temperature on adsorption energy (
E
ads
)
Radial Distribution Function (
RDF
)
and Mean Square Displacement (
MSD
). The results of these approaches support the experimental results.
