cu-based organic-metal framework loaded with zinc nitrate/benzimidazole inhibitors to improve the corrosion resistance of the mild steel in saline solution

: metal-organic frameworks (mof) have porous structures and high surface areas that can be used to load corrosion inhibitors. in this work, at first, a cu-based mof was synthesized and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (fe-sem) and x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. the zinc nitrate and benzimidazole were loaded into the cu-mof to fabricate cu-mof lzb. energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx) analysis proved the presence of the inhibitors elements in the loaded mof. the mild steel panels were submerged in the saline solution with and without 200 ppm of the cu-mof lzb. eis analysis revealed a significant corrosion inhibition (~64 %) in the presence of the cu-mof lzb.
