The extract was analysed by FTIR, GC-MS and HPLC-PDA, and its anticorrosion behaviour studied using a multiscale electrochemical approach (polarization curves,EIS and scanning electrochemical microscopy), along with SEM-EDS. 94% inhibition efficiencywas attained by developing a surface physisorbed film. A novel methodology for kineticevaluation of dynamic adsorption of inhibitive species on metal surface is proposed usingSECM, achieving good agreement with results from conventional electrochemical techniques.Excellent adsorption-desorption kinetic constants (ka = 0.102 s-1 mol-1 L; kd = 3.33x10-5 s-1) weredetermined YR 2020 FD 2020 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/18950 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/18950 LA en DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 19-nov-2024
