Metal oxide nanoparticles demonstrate uniqueness in various technical applications due to their suitable physiochemical properties. In particular, yttrium oxide nanoparticle(Y2O3NPs) is familiar for technical applications because of its higher dielectric constant and thermal stability. It is widely used as a host material for a variety of rare-earth dopants, biological imaging, and photodynamic therapies. In this investigation, yttrium oxide nanoparticles (Y2O3NPs) was used as an ecofriendly corrosion inhibitor through the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-Visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), the physico-chemical characterization of Y2O3NPs was examined. The primary characteristic peak of YOY at 565 cm-1, which indicates the synthesis of nanoparticles, is seen in the FT-IR spectra. The XRD pattern showed that a single phase cubic structure of YONPs with an Ia-3 space group had formed. SEM was used to examine the surface morphology. The composition of Yttrium and oxygen in Y2O3NPs was determined to be 78.74% and 21.26%, respectively, according to the EDX results. The anticorrosive behavior was tested by polarization curve in 18.204% CaCl2 solution at five temperatures in the range 293- 313 K. Various concentrations 0.15 0.26 and 0.37 of N Y2O3NPs coating on the carbon steel surface were applied using the electrophoresis deposition method. The obtained results indicated that Y2O3NPs formed a protective film acts as a physical barrier for the protection of steel alloy. Additionally, corrosion protection efficiency values of 0.26 N Y2O3NPs coating were superior to that of 0.15 and 0.37 N Y2O3NPs coating, respectively.
This study investigates the corrosion inhibition performance of a newly synthesized quinazolinone derivative, AMQ, on mild steel in a hydrochloric acid medium. The inhibition efficiency was evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization at varying inhibitor concentrations (100–250 ppm) and temperatures (303– 333 K). The results showed that AMQ exhibited effective corrosion inhibition, with the highest efficiency of 74% observed at 250 ppm and 323 K. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were conducted to study the electronic properties of AMQ and its adsorption behavior. The thermodynamic parameters, including activation energy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy, were calculated, indicating spontaneous adsorption of AMQ onto the meta

Show MoreThis work introduces a newly synthesized triazole derivative, 5-([(2-furanyl)methyl]-thiomethyl)-4-(naphtha-2-yl)-3-hydroxyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (FTNT), as an effective corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel A106 G/B in 0.1 M HCl solution. The structure of the novel derivative was confirmed by FTIR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectra. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements reveal that FTNT markedly suppresses corrosion, with inhibition efficiency reaching 81.6% at 600 ppm. Thermodynamic analysis indicates spontaneous, physisorption/chemisorption-augmented adsorption of FTNT on the steel surface, best described by the Freundlich isotherm. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) surface examination demonstrated that a protective FTNT coating precipitated on
