Adsorption and thermal stability of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole corrosion inhibitor on metallic and pre-oxidized Cu(111) model surfaces

Résumé

2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) is used for its corrosion inhibition properties. In this study, the adsorption of 2-MBT on metallic and pre-oxidized Cu(111) surfaces was investigated using Auger Electron Spectroscopy and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. Growth and structure of molecular films adsorbed at ultra low pressure and room temperature on clean and pre-oxidized Cu(111) surfaces were characterized. On clean metallic Cu(111) surface, local triangular (√ 7 × √ 7)R19.1 • structures are formed at low exposures (3-4 L), which are assigned to the adsorption of atomic S resulting from partial decomposition of 2-MBT. At 10 L, a full non-ordered monolayer of 2-MBT is formed, and further exposure leads to the formation of a non-ordered multilayer. The thickness of the outermost 2-MBT layer is 1.3 A, which suggests that the outermost molecules of the multilayer are lying flat. Oxidation of the copper surface prior to exposure to 2-MBT results in more compact and homogeneous molecular films. The initial 2D oxide is dissociated and replaced by 2-MBT. Thermal stability at different temperatures was studied on clean and pre-oxidized copper surfaces saturated with 2-MBT. A (√ 7 × √ 7)R19.1 • structure is observed in both cases for temperatures higher than 100 • C, indicating the decomposition of 2-MBT and a copper surface covered with atomic S.
