| Mrs | Denisa-Ioana | Răuță | Biotechnical Systems Engineering Doctoral School, National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest | Romania | Environmental Science | This review examines recent advances in corrosion inhibitor technologies, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions that address both industrial efficiency and environmental safety. Corrosion is a ubiquitous problem, contributing to massive economic losses globally, with costs estimated between 1 and 5% of GDP in different countries. Traditional inorganic corrosion inhibitors, while effective, are often based on toxic compounds, necessitating the development of more environmentally friendly and non-toxic alternatives. The present work highlights innovative eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors derived from natural sources, including plant extracts and oils, biopolymers, etc., being biodegradable substances that provide effective corrosion resistance with minimal environmental impact. In addition, this review explores organic–inorganic hybrid inhibitors and nanotechnology-enhanced coatings that demonstrate improved efficiency, durability, and adaptability across industries. Key considerations, such as application techniques, mechanisms of action, and the impact of environmental factors on inhibitor performance, are discussed. This comprehensive presentation aims to contribute to updating the data on the development of advanced corrosion inhibitors capable of meeting the requirements of modern industries while promoting sustainable and safe practices in corrosion management. | Best Researcher Award | environmentalscientists.org |
