A new triazolopyrimidine derivative, namely, 6-hydroxy-7-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-5(4H)-one (HPTP) was synthesized. Its corrosion inhibition performance on mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was researched through weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) approaches. The experimental results show that the inhibition efficiency of HPTP increases with the increase of concentrations, whereas decreases as the temperature rises. PDP data reveal that the HPTP acts as a mixed type inhibitor. EIS results imply that the HPTP molecules form an antiseptic layer at the steel/solution interface. The adsorption of the inhibitor molecules on the steel surface follows Langmuir's adsorption isotherm. In addition, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were also employed to gain further insight into the adsorption behavior and inhibition mechanism. |
