[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0043] The method for evaluating the surface adsorption efficiency of steel bar rust inhibitors based on molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry theory includes the following steps:

[0044] (1) Construction of molecular dynamics model:

[0045] Establish a molecular model of the steel bar surface, a molecular model of the rust inhibitor, and a molecular model of the salt solution. The molecular model of the salt solution includes a molecular model of the rust inhibitor, a molecular model of water, and a model of anions and cations. The salt solution model is constructed by mixing anions and cations with water molecules so that the ratio of the number of anions and cations satisfies the chemical formula, thereby obtaining 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. The initial model is relaxed for 100 to 200 ps under the NVT ensemble to allow the various parts of the initial model to approach each other and form a stable molecular structure.

[0047] Among them, the steel bar surface is Fe(111) surface, and the atomic layer thickness is greater than The molecular model of the salt solution containing the rust inhibitor should be closely fitted with the atoms of the molecular model of the steel bar surface, and 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 sodium chloride solution, sodium hydroxide solution, calcium hydroxide solution, and potassium hydroxide solution.

[0048] (2) Perform 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). The force field describes the potential energy driving the atomic motion in the system, which is converted into the acceleration of each atomic motion through Newton's second law. Given the initial position and velocity, the coordinates of each atom at each time point can be calculated. The force field adopts an empirical force field, and its basic form is shown in formula (1), including the bond energy between atoms, the van der Waals force, and the long-range Coulomb force:

[0050] E total =E bond +Eangle +E torsion +E vdw +E coul (1);

[0051] Where, E total represents the total potential energy, E bond represents the bond stretching potential energy, E angle represents the bond angle bending potential energy, E torsion represents the dihedral angle distortion potential energy, E vdw represents the van der Waals force, E coul represents the Coulomb electrostatic potential energy;

[0055] The binding energy calculation is to calculate the binding energy between the rust inhibitor and the steel bar surface after deleting the solvent molecules in the simulation system. The formula is:

[0056] E ads =E total -E iron -E inhibitor (2);

[0057] In formula (2), E ads represents the binding energy, E total Represents the total energy of the simulation system, E iron Represents the energy of the steel bar surface when it exists alone in the simulation system, E inhibitor Represents the energy of the rust inhibitor molecule when it exists alone in the simulation system.

[0058] (4) Perform quantum chemical simulation:

[0062] α = ELUMO-EHOMO;

[0063] Among them, the larger the value of α, the more stable the molecule and the worse the reaction activity, and vice versa;

[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 the rust inhibitor molecules, calculate the adsorption capacity of the rust inhibitor molecules, and quantify the rust inhibition performance of the organic rust inhibitors, thereby providing a basis for predicting the durability life of steel bars in corrosive environments. Compared with the existing technology 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.

Figure 2 As shown, the benzotriazole model is the same as the actual molecular structure, and the molecular formula is C6H5N3.

[0072] (2) Perform molecular dynamics simulation:

[0073] After applying the force field to each atom, simulation calculations were performed in Material Studio. The system temperature was selected to be 300K, the pressure to be one atmosphere, and the time step to be 1 fs. Periodic boundaries were set in the X, Y, and Z directions, and the initial velocity of each atom was randomly generated according to the initial temperature. The Smart algorithm was used to calculate the position of the atom at the next moment, and the long-range force cutoff radius was The simulation process consists of three steps: first, all atoms below the top two layers of the rebar are fixed. Then, the structure's geometry is optimized through energy minimization. Finally, the entire system is moved for 200 picoseconds (ps) under a canonical ensemble (NVT) to achieve equilibrium in each component. During the molecular dynamics simulation, thermodynamic parameters such as temperature and pressure, as well as the dimensions of the box, are output every 1 ps, along with the coordinates of all atoms, for a total of 200 frames of atomic coordinate 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 with the steel bar surface is -2.589eV.

[0075] (4) Perform quantum chemical simulation:

[0076] When performing quantum mechanics simulation, the molecular structure of the rust-inhibiting molecule - benzotriazole - is first established, and the geometric structure is optimized through the Dmol3 module of MaterialStudio. The calculation parameters are GGA functional and BLYP basis set.

[0077] (5) The energy of the rust inhibitor molecules after geometric structure optimization was calculated, and the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed at the GGA / BLYP level to obtain the atomic charges of the corresponding molecules.

[0078] (6) Analyze the rust inhibitor molecules after energy calculation, obtain their LUMO and HOMO values, and calculate the reaction activity α.

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

[0082] The organic rust inhibitor in Example 1 was replaced with proline, and the rest was the same as in Example 1.

[0083] In this Example 2, the binding energy of proline to the steel bar surface is -2.095 eV, the HOMO value is -5.5553 eV, the LUMO value is -0.6820 eV, and the reaction activity α is 4.8733 eV.

Figure 9 is the radial distribution curve (RDF) of proline molecules and the two layers of atoms on the surface of the steel bar. Figure 10 is the surface electrostatic potential distribution of proline.

[0089] The results of Examples 1-3 are summarized in Table 1. Comparing Example 1, Example 2, and Example 3, from the perspective of RDF, the nicotinic acid molecule The range has the highest number of bound atoms with 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. In summary, based on the method combining molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry theory, it can be inferred that nicotinic acid molecules have the best adsorption efficiency on steel bars among the three rust inhibitor molecules, indicating that they have the best rust inhibition performance.
