Experimental and computational studies on the corrosion inhibition potential of a novel synthesized thiophene and pyridine-based 1,3,4-oxadiazole hybrid against mild steel corrosion in 1 N HCl

Unveiling the corrosion inhibition efficacy and stability of silver nanoparticles synthesized using Anacardium occidentale leaf extract for mild steel in a simulated seawater solution

“…The Nyquist curve displays a characteristic depressed semicircle pattern, and the diameter of the semicircle positively correlates with CLE and CLE-AgNPs, in line with previous research. 6,7 …”

“…The Nyquist curve displays a characteristic depressed semicircle pattern, and the diameter of the semicircle positively correlates with CLE and CLE-AgNPs, in line with previous research. 6,7 The Bode phase angle also demonstrated that the steel surface and electrolyte only make one contact. One possible explanation for this result is a protective coating of biomolecules from CLE-AgNPs covering the steel's surface.…”

“…Charge neutrality occurs when the Cl − ions leave the electrolyte at the same time. The combination of the Fe 2+ and ion (Cl − ) results in the formation of ferric chloride, as shown in eqn (6).…”

“…This is due to the ecofriendly, renewable, biodegradable and non-toxic behavior of the sustainable materials that have been used in various sectors such as energy and power, advanced material development, aviation, drug delivery, tissue engineering, automobiles, defense, and corrosion migration. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] In the area of corrosion migration, the use of sustainable materials such as plant extracts has been a focus of research and development in recent years. This is due to the non-toxic behavior of the plant extracts as compared with the toxic conventional inhibitors for mild steel.…”
