The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5 M H2SO4solution by the extract of litchi peel (Litchi chinensis) was studied by weight loss method, potentiodynamics polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the litchi peels extract acts as mixed-type inhibitor. The inhibition of corrosion is found to be due to adsorption of the extract on metal surface, which is in conformity with Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm. UV–Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies confirm that the inhibition of corrosion of mild steel occurs through adsorption of the inhibitor molecules.
