The inhibition of carbon steel corrosion in chloride solution containing Nettle leaves extract (NLE) and zinc nitrate (ZN) was investigated by electrochemical techniques. Theoretical studies based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) were performed to evaluate the adsorption process and the synergistic effects between NLE and ZN. Electrochemical analyses results confirmed effective synergistic inhibition between organic inhibitors existed in NLE and zinc cations. 96% inhibition efficiency was obtained when 400 ppm NLE was combined with 400 ppm Zn(NO3)2. The theoretical results evidenced that all considered organic-inorganic inhibitors adhered to steel surface, reflecting their corrosion inhibition effect.
