Abstract

Computational simulation methods have become a popular approach to study the adsorption behavior of corrosion inhibitor molecules on metal surfaces. In this work, using sorbitol as a model corrosion inhibitor, we investigate the differences in anodic dissolution kinetics of aluminum before and after the adsorption of organic corrosion inhibitor molecules combining ab initio molecular dynamics with metadynamics. The results indicate that the adsorption of inhibitor molecules restricts the migration of Al ions during the initial dissolution process, hindering their hydration and consequently slowing down the initial dissolution kinetics. Our work provides a new perspective for the computational study of corrosion inhibition mechanisms.

通过从头算分子动力学和元动力学模拟揭示有机缓蚀剂抑制金属阳极溶解的原子尺度机理：以山梨醇对铝的吸附为例

计算模拟方法已成为研究缓蚀剂分子在金属表面吸附行为的一种流行方法。本文以山梨醇为模型缓蚀剂，结合从头算分子动力学和元动力学，研究了有机缓蚀剂分子吸附前后铝的阳极溶解动力学差异。结果表明，抑制剂分子的吸附限制了Al离子在初始溶解过程中的迁移，阻碍了它们的水合作用，从而减缓了初始溶解动力学。我们的工作为缓蚀机理的计算研究提供了一个新的视角。
