The adsorption and corrosion protection properties of the SAMs for 2024 alloy in 0.1 mol/L H2SO4 solution were examined and characterized by potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Auger electron spectra (AES) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). FTIR and AES results show that the TDPA molecules were successfully adsorbed on the 2024 aluminum alloy surface, and the density of the SAMs increased with the increasing water content in the assembly solution. The results of electrochemical studies and corrosion morphologies observed by AFM show that a 4 h modification resulted in maximal inhibition efficiency, and the higher the water content in the assembly solution is, the better the inhibition performance of the SAMs can be achieved. The effect of water content in TDPA solutions on the performance of the SAMs is related to the hydration reaction of the metal surface.展开更多
