“…Many studies took the strategy of designing inhibitors in such a way as to use the inhibition properties of both inhibitors synergistically. As a result, rare earth carboxylate compounds are synthesized that prevent corrosion through a mixed inhibition mechanism (Nam et al, 2019;Somers et al, 2020). Numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of cerium carboxylate compounds such as cerium citrate, cerium hydroxyl cinnamate, cerium tartrate, cerium salicylate, cerium anthranilate and cerium glycolate for mild steel in NaCl solution (Forsyth et al, 2002a(Forsyth et al, , 2002bForsyth et al, 2002aForsyth et al, , 2002bBlin et al, 2004Blin et al, , 2006Hu et al, 2015;Nam et al, 2019;Marunki c et al, 2022).…”
