Abstract
It is a pioneering field for biomass valorization to construct high-efficient corrosion inhibitors for metal due to a big challenge and serious issue of metal corrosion during its industrial applications. Herein, we describe a visible light-induced three-component coupling of furfural, furylamine and (NH4)2S for biomass-based thioamide synthesis under mild conditions. The photo-catalyst for the coupling is well designed as Ni immobilized on a carbon-TiO2 nanocomposite (Ni/C-TiO2) with in-situ photo-generated hole (h+) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) as key oxidative species for thioamide formation. The photo-catalytic system is applicable to a variety of furfural-derived thioamides (20 examples). The anti-corrosive activities of typical thioamides are systematically investigated and compared with mild steel in 1.0 M HCl solution. Electron-rich furan ring (π-electrons system) with functional − NH − C(=S) − group (high electronic density of heteroatoms) endows these biomass-based thioamides high inhibition efficiencies towards the mild steel as mixed-type corrosion inhibitors for both cathode and anode.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Catalysis publishes scholarly articles on both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, covering a wide range of chemical transformations. These include various types of catalysis, such as those mediated by photons, plasmons, and electrons. The focus of the studies is to understand the relationship between catalytic function and the underlying chemical properties of surfaces and metal complexes.
The articles in the journal offer innovative concepts and explore the synthesis and kinetics of inorganic solids and homogeneous complexes. Furthermore, they discuss spectroscopic techniques for characterizing catalysts, investigate the interaction of probes and reacting species with catalysts, and employ theoretical methods.
The research presented in the journal should have direct relevance to the field of catalytic processes, addressing either fundamental aspects or applications of catalysis.
