To prevent corrosion damage in aggressive environments such as seawater, metallic surfaces are coated with corrosion inhibitors usually made of organic molecules. Unfortunately, these inhibitors often exhibit environmental toxicity and are hazardous to natural habitats. Thus, developing greener and...
