The inhibition effect of an excellent environmental-friendly corrosion inhibitor-berberine on hot-dip coated steels in the diluted HCl has been investigated by using quantum chemistry analysis, mass-loss tests, electrochemical measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. Calculation results show that berberine has a nearly planar structure with a number of active centers. The value of Mulliken charge, and the distribution of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lower unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) imply that berberine has a good ability of electron exchange with metal surface. The test results indicate that inhibition efficiency (IE%) increases with the inhibitor concentration and the highest IE can reach 99%. Adsorption of berberine on the coating surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm with a single molecular layer by chemisorption.
