Abstract: In the present work, we evaluated the corrosion inhibition properties of a ligand and mixed metal oxide nanocomposite. The ligand and mixed nickel–cobalt complex were synthesized using 1-naphthoic acid and aminoguanidine with the formulae [C11H7O2(CN4H5)(CN4H6)]·H2O and {Ni–Co[(CH5N4)2(C11H7O2)2]}·H2O, respectively. After their synthesis, physicochemical techniques such as CHNS analysis, infrared and UV-visible spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to characterize both the synthesized ligand and nickel–cobalt complex. The metal oxide prepared from the decomposition of the metal complex was also characterized using several techniques to confirm its bonding and structure. In addition, the corrosion inhibition efficiency of the epoxy-ligand and epoxy-NiCo2O4 nanocomposite on mild steel (MS) in 3 M hydrochloric acid (HCl), 1.5 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and 0.5 M phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution was examined and compared using weight loss measurements, Tafel plots, isotherms and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results from the electrochemical studies disclosed that the epoxy coating of mixed metal oxides with 0.8 ppm concentration yielded excellent corrosion protection. The SEM images of mild steel and mild steel coated with epoxy-ligand/epoxy-NiCo2O4 in HCl confirmed the anti-corrosive behavior of the synthesized compounds. Hence, the as-prepared material can be a next-generation tool for sustainable anti-corrosive coatings.
