A high-temperature corrosion inhibitor of dibenzimidazole derivative for mild steel: Synthesis, properties and mechanism investigation

Key Points

• The inhibitor significantly reduces high-temperature corrosion on mild steel.
• A notable reduction in corrosion rate was observed, achieving up to 80% protection.
• Synthesis involved creating dibenzimidazole derivatives with specified properties for effectiveness.
• The findings may enable the development of more effective protective coatings for steel in harsh conditions.
