Protective Effects of Plant Extracts on Copper in Various Corrosive Media: A Review

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Owing to their green, high‐efficient, and economical attributes, plant‐derived corrosion inhibitors have demonstrated extensive potential for application in the realm of copper corrosion prevention. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the advancements in understanding the impact of plant extract on the corrosion behavior of copper under various corrosive conditions. Initially, it presents the research findings pertaining to the extraction methodologies, corrosion inhibition performance assessments, and underlying action mechanisms of plant corrosion inhibitors. Subsequently, this work delves into the potential and challenges. The overarching objective is to furnish a robust theoretical foundation and technical support for enhancing the efficiency and stability of plant‐based corrosion inhibitors for copper, thereby facilitating their broader adoption in industrial production and environmental conservation efforts.
