Abstract
Investigators used Potentiodynamic Polarization, Spectroscopy of Electrochemical Impedance (EIS), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), Spectroscopy of X-Ray Photoelectron (XPS), and chemical studies to examine the inhibitory effect of Theobroma cacao peel extract (TCPE) on mild steel (MS) corrosion in 1.5M HCl. Studies of electrochemical data indicate that, TCPE reduces MS corrosion through adsorption using a mixed inhibition mechanism. As the inhibitor concentration grows and temperatures lowers, TCPE becomes more protective. The adsorption of TCPE molecules on the MS surface is controlled by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. To determine the correlation between the hampers effect and the structure of TCPE molecular, a number of chemical characteristics were computed.
