“…Natural compounds from plant and vegetable extracts are considered to be green inhibitors of steel corrosion in various aggressive solutions due to their heteroatoms having multiple bonds. These are mostly nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and phosphorus atoms with π-electrons, aromatic rings, or long carbon chains in the compound structure. − Interestingly, most of the recent works have focused on compounds extracted from vegetable and plant components for mitigating steel corrosion in different corrosion environments due to the functional groups in the naturally extracted compounds, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, polyphenols, amino acids, and tannins. − These important findings suggest that natural products have promising potential for protecting against steel corrosion and have been vividly characterized and enumerated as green inhibitors from certain leaf extracts, such as Hibiscus sabdariffa, Piper betle, Catharanthus roseus, Luffa cylindrica, Pigeon pea, Ficus racemosa, Ipomea staphylina, Ginkgo, Lannea coromandelica, Olive, Houttuynia cordata, Tinospora cordifolia, Bamboo, and Aganonerion polymorphum . These leaf extracts have demonstrated high protective performance against steel corrosion via organic film formation on the surface.…”
