However, given the vast diversity of plant species in nature, it is imperative to explore effective methods to improve screening efficiency in order to quickly identify the corrosion inhibition potential of plants. In this work, a new strategy for developing plant-extracted eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors based on the family and genus of plants is proposed. Three plants of different genera in the Asteraceae family, including Artemisia argyi extract (AAE), Chrysanthemum indicum extract (CIE), and Centipeda minima extract (CME), were selected and successfully prepared as novel corrosion inhibitors for Q235 steel in a sulfuric acid solution. The corrosion inhibition behavior and corresponding mechanism were systematically investigated by using some electrochemical tests (open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and surface characterizations (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The experimental results illustrated that the main components of the three extracts were similar and that when combined with KI as mixed-type corrosion inhibitors, they could dramatically slow down the metal corrosion rate. The maximum value of the corrosion inhibition efficiency reached 96.29%, 96.50%, and 97.52%, respectively, at 200 mg\/L and could increase to 98.64%, 97.65%, and 99.06%, respectively, with a prolonged immersion time. A synergistic effect exists between the three plant extracts and KI, leading to the firm adsorption of the three plant extract molecules onto a Q235 steel surface, thereby forming a robust protective film. This work demonstrated that plants of different genera in the Asteraceae family possessed similar corrosion inhibition capabilities, providing a novel way to select potential corrosion inhibitors from numerous plants based on family and genus classification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26020561","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,10]],"date-time":"2025-01-10T08:03:05Z","timestamp":1736496185000},"page":"561","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Insights into the Corrosion Inhibition Performance of Plant Extracts of Different Genera in the Asteraceae Family for Q235 Steel in H2SO4 Medium"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Tian-Shu","family":"Chu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Jie","family":"Mai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui-Zhen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1829-0128","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo-Xin","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang 110016, China"},{"name":"School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 639798, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Qing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"},{"name":"Joint Institute of Guangzhou University & Institute of Corrosion Science and Technology, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2859-8422","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo-Kai","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"},{"name":"Joint Institute of Guangzhou University & Institute of Corrosion Science and Technology, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Palumbo, G., \u015awi\u0119ch, D., and G\u00f3rny, M.
