Abstract
. It was amply shown that as the concentration of CdO-NPs increased, the cathodic currents decreased and the active corroding sites were blocked completely. Moreover, a decrease in the mass of mild steel in an aggressive environment was reduced gradually with an increase in the concentration (ppm) of CdO-NPs inhibitor, resulting in an increase in the inhibition efficiency. The novel synthesized CdO-NPs were characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM-EDX spectroscopy.
