Abstract: Pteris vittata extractive (PVE) achieved by immersion was investigated as a corrosion inhibitor for Q235 steel in 1 mol·L-1 HCl solution by means of the electrochemical methods. Polarization curves results indicated that PVE behaved as an effective mixed-type inhibitor in control of steel corrosion, and the inhibition performance of PVE on Q235 steel was found to be enhanced with the increasing PVE concentration. The analysis of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy implied that the increase of charge transfer resistance of corrosion reaction and the change of the structure of the electric double layer, due to the adsorption of PVE molecules on steel surface. Adsorption behavior studies have shown that the adsorption of PVE molecules conforms to the Langmuir monolayer adsorption model. On average, the adsorption of each extractive molecule will cause more than 3 water molecules to desorb from the steel surface, and there is a repulsive effect among the adsorbed molecules.
