Metal Corrosion Inhibition by Triazoles: A Review
Abstract
Metal corrosion and the prospect of inhibiting this process have received much interest to society and scientific research. The annual global cost of corrosion is $2.5 trillion, equivalent to roughly 3.4% of the world's gross domestic product. Implementing corrosion prevention best practices could result in global savings of 15–35% of that cost. Great numbers of research were documented and dedicated on the triazole nucleus as fascinating corrosion inhibitors of various metals in hostile media, owing to their unique electronic structure possessing conjugated π and unshared pairs of electrons on the nitrogen atoms facilitates their adsorption on the metal surface. Thus, the physical and chemical interactions occurring between the active centers of triazoles and d-orbitals of metallic materials occurred to form a film on the surface. The nature of inhibitor activity is disclosed through polarization studies (cathodic, anodic or mixed-type). The range of various substituents on the triazole ring offers a vast array of inhibitory effects. Temperature and inhibitor concentration effects must also be regarded when evaluating the corrosion activation and adsorption parameters supported further by the quantum chemical parameters such as DFT and molecular dynamics simulations. In this review, we looked through several instances of the use of distinct substituted triazole nucleus as significant corrosion inhibitors for different metals in various aggressive media.
