2-Phenylimidazole Corrosion Inhibitor on Copper: An XPS and ToF-SIMS Surface Analytical Study

This work presents a surface analytical study of the corrosion inhibitor 2-phenylimidazole (2PhI) adsorbed on a Cu surface from 3 wt.% NaCl solution. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were used to investigate the surface phenomena. V...
