Abstract A graphene oxide-triazole hybrid anti-corrosive coating was done by fabricating a triazole derivative - 2-(5-mercapto-4-((3-nitrophenyl)amino)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (4-NBT) on a graphene oxide (GO) coated Cu electrode. The GO-4-NBT hybrid coating effect on the Cu surface corrosion behavior was electrochemically monitored through cyclic voltammetry (CV), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The fabrication of a protective coating was done in two steps. Firstly, GO was electrochemically deposited on the Cu electrode in two different aggressive media (1 M HCl and 0.1 M Na2SO4), separately. Secondly, different 4-NBT concentrations were employed to reinforce GO corrosion resistant properties. CV studies revealed that GO-4-NBT effectively suppressed the metal oxidation and oxygen reduction. EIS studies suggested that the electrochemical process on the Cu surface with GO and GO-4-NBT was charge transfer controlled. The corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) measured by PDP and EIS was enhanced with a related raise in 4-NBT concentration. Electrochemical studies revealed that the GO-4-NBT was a mixed type of inhibitor that predominantly inhibited the anodic reaction, especially in the case of 0.1 M Na2SO4. Adsorption studies further indicated the involvement of a stable and spontaneous adsorption mechanism, most probably by chemisorption. GO-4-NBT has shown significant corrosion protection activity in 0.1 M Na2SO4.
