Molecular dynamics analysis of adsorption process of anti-copper-corrosion additives to the copper surface

As a model system of the adsorption process of anti-corrosion additives on a metal surface, molecular dynamics simulations of benzotriazole (BTA) molecules with copper slabs were completed. As a force field, ReaxFF was used to simulate both adsorption dynamics and the charge transfer on the solid surface. Two simulations are presented. In order to investigate the physical adsorption on the surface, the simulation was done for the adsorption process of BTA molecules on the copper (II) oxide slab. BTA molecules formed on adsorbed layer in parallel to the surface, and aggregation of the molecules due to the surface diffusion was found. In order to investigate the selective and chemical adsorption on the surface, a hybrid slab, which has both a copper (Cu) area and a copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) area, was used. A selective adsorption phenomenon was found. The number of BTA molecules adsorbed on the Cu area is 5 times greater than that on the Cu2O area. Detailed dynamics focused on charge transfer showed a surface diffusion and enhancement of polarization due to charge transfer from the metal surface caused the selective adsorption. In a real phenomenon, the reason why a few anti-corrosion additives are able to protect a metal surface is postulated to be due to this selective nature of adsorption onto a newly formed metal surface.
