Corrosion inhibition performance of benzimidazole derivatives for protection of carbon steel in hydrochloric acid solution.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a comprehensive study on the corrosion inhibition properties of new organic compounds, (1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methanethiol (LF₁) and 1-dodecyl-2-((dodecylthio)methyl)-1H-benzimidazole (LF₂), have been examined for inhibiting of Carbon-Steel (C.S) in 1.0 M HCl. Numerous methods, such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle measurements, UV-visible spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations, were used to evaluate the effectiveness in preventing corrosion. The two benzimidazoles (LF₁ and LF₂)' inhibitory efficacy rose as their concentration increased, peaking at
