Abstract
AbstractCinnamyl alcohol (CA) was added to the rolling oil of copper foils as a novel corrosion inhibitor, and its anticorrosion performance and mechanism were studied using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Microstructure and chemical composition of the copper electrode surface were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that CA acted as a mixed‐type inhibitor, and the maximum inhibition efficiency of 87.7% was achieved at 2.4 mM. Moreover, a protective film was formed on the copper surface, which attributed to the C–OH groups in the CA molecule. The absorption of CA on the copper surface was physisorption, which conformed to Langmuir adsorption isotherm, with a standard adsorption free energy of −11.38 kJ/mol. In the presence of CA, some flaky corrosion products changed into granular corrosion products. The synergistic effect of the granular corrosion products (copper chloride hydroxide) and the CA film further decreased the corrosion rate.
