Summary: In this research, sodium gluconate-loaded chitosan microspheres (SG/CM) were prepared using negative pressure impregnation after hydrothermal synthesis of chitosan microspheres (CM) with vanillin (VA). The structures and morphologies of the prepared materials were analyzed using FTIR, SEM, and TEM. The thermogravimetric characterization showed that loading sodium gluconate enhanced the thermal stability. The corrosion inhibition performance of CS, CM, and SG/CM in 0.1 mol/L HCl was investigated using EIS and PDP tests, with SG/CM showing the highest inhibition efficiency.

Summary: This study compares the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solutions containing different concentrations of inhibitors (1) and (2). The morphology and chemical composition of the samples were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results show that the reduced form of inhibitor (2) exhibits better corrosion resistance. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy further confirms that increasing the concentration of the inhibitors decreases the double layer capacitance and increases the charge transfer resistance. These findings are also supported by the SEM images. In addition, theoretical calculations provide insights into the inhibitory properties of (1) and (2).
