A Review Paper on the Research Status and Development Trend of Corrosion Inhibitors

With the widespread use of metals in various industrial sectors, corrosion has become a serious challenge, affecting the life and performance of equipment. As a key technical means, corrosion inhibitors have made significant progress in the past few decades. This paper aims to summarize the research status of corrosion inhibitors and discuss their future development trends. In terms of research status, the research status of corrosion inhibitors at home and abroad was reviewed, and the application of corrosion inhibitors in different application fields was discussed. In addition, we discussed the inhibition mechanism of different types of corrosion inhibitors, such as organic corrosion inhibitors and inorganic corrosion inhibitors.
