Abstract

N and S co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) were synthesized and used as corrosion inhibitors for the first time in this study. The inhibition performance of N, S-CDs for carbon steel in CO2-saturated NaCl solution was investigated. Results showed that N, S-CDs can effectively protect carbon steel from corrosion and the inhibition efficiency increases as the concentration of N, S-CDs increases, reaching 93% at 50 mg/L. Even at the low concentration, such as 10 mg/L N, S-CDs, the corrosion current density reduces from 1.472
