This study investigates the efficacy of Musa paradisiaca stem sap extract (MPSSE) as a green corrosion inhibitor for aluminum in a hydrochloric environment. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify the compounds in the extract. The corrosion inhibition potential was assessed through gravimetric analysis (weight loss measurements) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Surface analysis was conducted using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to examine the surface morphology of aluminum before and after treatment. Adsorption isotherm studies were performed to understand the interaction mechanism between the extract and the aluminum surface, employing Langmuir, Temkin, Frumkin, and Freundlich isotherms. The results indicate that the extract exhibits significant corrosion inhibition potential. GC-MS analysis identified compounds such as long-chain alkanes, phthalic acid esters, and fluorinated compounds, which contribute to corrosion resistance by forming protective barriers on metal surfaces. Gravimetric analysis showed that the extract, particularly at a 20 V/V% concentration, achieved up to 90.73% inhibition efficiency over 30 days, significantly reducing weight loss and corrosion rates. Adsorption studies revealed a strong adherence to the Temkin Isotherm model, suggesting effective adsorption of the extract onto the aluminum surface. AFM analysis demonstrated a decrease in surface roughness with increasing extract concentration, confirming the inhibitor’s protective effect. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy exhibited higher charge transfer resistance and pronounced inductive behavior in the presence of the inhibitor, indicating the formation of a protective layer on aluminum. These findings highlight the potential of MPSSE as an eco-friendly alternative for corrosion protection in industrial applications.
