Corrosion behavior and mechanisms of carbon steel in Cu(II)-amine based solvents for electrochemically mediated CO2 capture system

Key Points

• Corrosion behavior of carbon steel is significantly influenced by Cu(II)-amine solvents, undermining material integrity.
• Key evidence shows varying corrosion rates, with some solvents increasing degradation by over 50%.
• Analysis of corrosion mechanisms identifies electrochemical interactions as primary factors affecting carbon steel viability.
• Understanding corrosion in this context highlights crucial considerations for enhancing CO2 capture system durability.
