Abstract
). Similarly, the charge-transfer resistance is found to be 12 times larger for the superhydrophobic Al coating and the corresponding corrosion inhibition efficiency reaches 98.9%. The superhydrophobic Al coating displays superior corrosion resistance and promising applications in a marine corrosion environment.
