Corrosion inhibition of locally de-passivated surfaces by DFT study of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole on copper

Abstract Investigating the interaction of organic inhibitors with metal and alloy surfaces is crucial for an atomic-scale understanding of their protection efficiency, particularly on the initiation of localized corrosion by pitting. Quantum chemical DFT calculations were performed to optimize the c...
