Thermodynamic, electrochemical and surface characterization of copper corrosion inhibition in acidic solution using rice straw extract by O. Adel, M. E. Mohamed, E. Khamis

“…The corrosion inhibition performance was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques across a temperature range of 25–55 °C. The results demonstrated that the rice straw extract achieved an inhibition efficiency of approximately 91% at 25 °C with a concentration of 0.05 g/L and maintained a significant 69.1% efficiency at 55 °C, suggesting that the inhibition primarily occurs through physisorption of the extract molecules onto the copper surface. …”
