“…Corrosion protection of copper and zinc alloys acquires a sectorial importance when considering the historical manufactures, ancient and historical artworks and their conservation over years [60]. The degradation of most metals, with the exception of gold is a universal reaction and it constitutes a constant and on-going issue in fields such as heritage conservation or other industrial applications related to the metals electrical and thermal conductivities [61,62]. Metals from cultural heritage may suffer from degradation phenomena during the archaeological burial, from indoor atmospheric corrosion during exhibition or storage in uncontrolled environmental conditions and from outdoor atmospheric degradation in the case of buildings or statues [63].…”

Over the past decade, green chemistry has been emphasizing the importance of protecting the environment and human health in an economically beneficial manner aiming at avoiding toxins and reducing wastes. The field of metallic materials degradation, generally faced by using toxic compounds, found a fertile research field in green chemistry. In fact, the use of inhibitors is a well-known strategy when metal corrosion needs to be prevented, controlled, or retarded. Green inhibitors are biodegradable, ecologically acceptable and renewable. Their valorization expands possible applications in industrial fields other than ‘waste to energy’ in the perspective of circular economy. Although lot of experimental work has been done and many research papers have been published, the topic of green inhibitors is still an open issue. The great interest in the field expanded the research, resulting in high numbers of tested molecules. However, the most frequently adopted approaches are conventional and, hence, not suitable to fully characterize the potential efficacy of inhibitors. All the mentioned aspects are the object of the present review and are meant as a constructive criticism to highlight the weak points of the green inhibitors field as to re-evaluate the literature and address the future research in the field that still lacks rationalization.
