The salt solution model is constructed by mixing anions and cations with water molecules, and the ratio of the number of anions and cations satisfies the chemical molecular formula, so as to obtain a salt solution of a certain concentration;

[0046] The steel bar surface molecular model is placed under the salt solution molecular model (referred to as the salt solution model) to form an initial model, and the various parts of the initial model are relaxed for 100 to 200 ps under the NVT ensemble to make them close to each other and form a stable molecular structure.

[0047] Among them, the steel bar surface is selected as Fe(111) surface, and the atomic layer thickness is greater than The molecular model of the salt solution containing the rust inhibitor should fit closely with the atoms of the molecular model of the steel bar surface, and contain a height greater than vacuum layer; the molecular model of the rust inhibitor is the same as the molecular structure of the actual organic rust inhibitor; the salt solution is at least one of a sodium chloride solution, a sodium hydroxide solution, a calcium hydroxide solution, and a potassium hydroxide solution.

[0048] (2) Conduct molecular dynamics simulation:

[0049] A force is applied to each atom in the molecular model of the initial model constructed in step (1) (including the steel bar surface molecular model, the rust inhibitor molecular model and the salt solution molecular model).

[0065] Among them, the steel bar surface is regarded as Lewis acid, and the area with positive electrostatic potential on the surface of the organic rust inhibitor molecular model is marked as the acidic area, and the area with negative electrostatic potential is marked as the alkaline area.

[0066] The present invention can simulate the adsorption behavior of various organic rust inhibitor molecules on the surface of steel bars under different solution environments, determine the adsorption sites of rust inhibitor molecules, calculate the adsorption capacity of rust inhibitor molecules, and quantify the rust inhibition performance of organic rust inhibitors, thereby providing a basis for predicting the durability life of steel bars in a corrosive environment; compared with the prior art that relies on traditional experiments to evaluate the rust inhibition performance of organic rust inhibitors, the present invention can quickly, efficiently and accurately evaluate and compare the rust inhibition performance of organic rust inhibitors.

The system temperature is selected as 300K, the pressure is one atmosphere, and the time step is 1fs. Periodic boundaries are set in the X, Y, and Z directions. The initial velocity of each atom is randomly generated according to the initial temperature. The Smart algorithm is used to calculate the position of the atom at the next moment. The long-range force cutoff radius is The simulation process is divided into three steps: first, fix all atoms below the top 2 layers of the steel bar, then optimize the geometry of the structure by minimizing the energy; finally, let the whole system move for 200 ps (picoseconds) under the canonical ensemble (NVT) to achieve the balance of each part of the structure. During the molecular dynamics simulation, the thermodynamic parameters such as temperature and pressure and the size of the box are output once every 1 ps, and the coordinates of all atoms are output once, with a total of 200 frames of atomic coordinates output.

The adsorption type is determined by analyzing the adsorption radius of the densest atoms. The corresponding frame with the lowest energy in the simulation process is found and output, and the binding energy during adsorption is calculated. The binding energy of benzotriazole and the steel bar surface is -2.589eV.

[0075] (4) Perform quantum chemical simulation:

[0079] (7) Finally, the rust inhibitor molecules after energy calculation are analyzed to obtain their surface electrostatic potential distribution. The acidic and alkaline regions of the rust inhibitor molecules are marked according to the Lewis acid-base theory to determine the adsorption sites of the rust inhibitor molecules on the steel bar surface.

[0080] In this Example 1, the binding energy of benzotriazole with the steel bar surface is -2.589 eV, the HOMO value is -6.4639 eV, the LUMO value is -2.1093 eV, and the reaction activity α is 4.3546 eV.

By comparing Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3, from the perspective of RDF, the niacin molecule The range has the highest number of atoms bound to iron atoms, indicating that its adsorption process is the most significant. From the binding energy point of view, nicotinic acid molecules have the largest binding energy with the steel bar surface, indicating that its adsorption is the most stable. From the frontier orbital theory, it can be concluded that benzotriazole BTA has the largest HOMO value (absolute value), indicating that it has the strongest electron donating ability among the three rust inhibitors, while nicotinic acid molecules have the smallest LUMO-HOMO value, indicating that its reaction activity is the greatest. From the perspective of surface electrostatic potential, nicotinic acid molecules have the most Lewis basic regions, indicating that they have the most binding sites when adsorbed on the steel bar surface.
