From nature to protection: Unleashing the protective potential of Hedera helix leaves against corrosion in harsh acidic environments using experimental and theoretical insights

Fabrication of Protective Organic Layer Using Schiff-Base Metal Complex Responsible for Excellent Corrosion Performance: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives

“…All measurements were independently performed three times for the sake of reliability. To examine the impact of temperature on the thermodynamic activation parameters, the tests were carried out at various temperatures, ranging from 303 to 333 K. Corrosion rate ( ϑ WL ), inhibition efficiency, and surface coverage (θ) were determined using eqs –, as described below ϑ normalW normalL = w 1 − w 2 S × t η normalW normalL ( % ) = ϑ normalW normalL 0 − ϑ normalW normalL ϑ W L 0 × 100 θ = ν normalW normalL o − ϑ normalW normalL ν W L o where w 1 and w 2 represent the mass of the XC18 before and after immersion in different concentrations of APMS, respectively. S denotes the surface area of the XC18 plate in cm 2 , and t represents the immersion time in hours (h).…”
