Abstract

Steel corrosion, an inherent degradation of critical infrastructure, remains a pervasive global challenge. Here we report a serendipitous discovery of a corrosion-induced self-passivation strategy for steel in aqueous mixtures of polymaleic acid (PMA), phosphoric acid, and zinc phosphate (PMAPAZ) driven by the spontaneous formation of dense γ-Fe 2 O 3 /PMA nanohybrid coating. This corrosion-induced coating effectively inhibits steel corrosion under aggressive conditions, including high acidity (pH 1.5), high chloride (5 wt %), and elevated temperature (120 °C), achieving an ultraslow corrosion rate (
