Summary: | The inhibition of mild steel in aerated 1
M hydrochloric acid solution was studied using conventional weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization studies (Tafel), linear polarization studies (LPR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and quantum chemical calculation in the presence and absence of different concentrations of DMSTT. The inhibition efficiency increased markedly with increase in the additive concentrations, but slightly decreased with increasing temperature. The presence of DMSTT decreases the double layer capacitance and increases the charge-transfer resistance. The value of activation energy (
