Synthesis and Acidizing Corrosion Inhibition Performance of N-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots

Resumo

In this paper, citric acid was used as carbon source, diethylenetriamine and urotropine were used as precursors, and N-doped carbon dots (cdh-CDs) with luminescent properties were synthesized by microwave method. The structure of the sample was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), ultraviolet spectrophotometer (UV), fluorescence spectroscopy, etc., and it was proved that cdh-CDs with an amorphous structure about 4–10 nm in diameter was synthesized. The corrosion inhibition performance of cdh-CDs in 1 M hydrochloric acid was evaluated by static weight loss and electrochemical method. The results showed that cdh-CDs have a good corrosion inhibition performance at 60°C, the inhibition efficiency can reach 81.2% when the dosage is 600 ppm. Electrochemical results showed that cdh-CDs are mixed inhibitors which mainly inhibit cathodes.
