Adsorption and corrosion inhibition mechanism of Schiff base-conjugated oligoelectrolyte on mild steel in acidic media: electrochemical and surface characterization studies
BTC-SBCOE inhibits corrosion by adsorbing onto mild steel via N/O lone pairs, a polar quaternary ammonium group, and a hydrophobic hexyl chain, forming a protective film. PDP, EIS, SEM, and AFM confirm reduced corrosion in acidic media.
