“…Although complete prevention of corrosion is impossible, it can be controlled using effective corrosion inhibitors (CIs). − CIs are chemical compounds that reduce the corrosion rate of metals at low concentrations when they are added to corrosive environments. They can be used in transportation, construction, energy, and industries owing to their economic efficiency and strong versatility. , Heteroatoms (such as N, O, P, and S), heterocycles, multiple bonds, and aromatic rings are the most important electron-rich groups in the structure of organic CIs that cause the adsorption of their molecules on the surface of metal and protect it against corrosive species in the medium. ,− In other words, the replacement of CIs with water molecules on the metal surface leads to the blocking of active sites for redox reactions and thus inhibits the transfer of water and corrosive ions on the metal surface. , The molecular properties of CI molecules, such as steric factors, aromaticity, chain length, functional groups, electronic structures, cross-linking ability, and solubility have a significant impact on their adsorption behavior . Due to the low biodegradability of traditional CIs such as mercury salts, chromate, phosphorus-containing compounds, and the majority of organic molecules, it is critical to develop new eco-friendly inhibitors. − In recent years, CIs based on bio-sources such as carbohydrates, vegetable oils, amino acids, and plant extracts have been studied to address this issue. ,− Furfuryl alcohol as another renewable substance derived from furfural has also been investigated as a CI in acidic solutions. − Although the inhibition performance of bio-based CIs has been evaluated for corrosion inhibition of various metals, their main challenge is poor inhibition efficiency at high temperatures. , It should be noted that the temperature is over 353 K during some acid stimulation operations, which considerably increases the corrosive potential of the environment toward technological structures based on steel.…”
