Abstract
Benzotriazole (BTAH) has been known for more than sixty years to be a very effective inhibitor of corrosion for copper and its alloys. In spite of numerous studies devoted to the investigation of BTAH action, the mechanism of its action is still not completely understood. The aim of this review is to summarize important work in the field of BTAH as a copper corrosion inhibitor, from the early discoveries to the present time. Special attention is given to the BTAH surface structure. The disagreement between findings and mechanisms is discussed.
