Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering, in Situ Spectro-Electrochemical, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Investigations of 2-Amino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole Monolayers at a Silver Electrode
文摘
At a silver surface, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique along with the self-assembledmonolayers (SAMs) method was performed to observe the adsorption behavior of AMT as a protective reagentfor metals from corrosion. For 20 h of self-assembling, the time-dependent SERS spectra show that a stableAMT monolayers could form and the ultimate structure of AMT monolayers anchoring at the surface is intilted mode via both sulfur atoms of thiol and thiadiazole ring with the nitrogen atom of amino. In situ SERSspectral electrochemical experiments indicate that the AMT monolayers experience an dynamic adsorptionfrom a tilted fashion to a more horizontal mode for thiadiazole ring with the potential applied toward morenegative voltage. Anticorrosive effect of the AMT monlayers has been ascertained by electrochemicalimpedance spectroscopy, which is in agreement with theoretic evaluation of the R(Q(R(QR))) mode.
