Abstract

Corrosion is an expensive and destructive issue in several industries as it can damage materials used to construct bridges and buildings, automobiles, water pipeline systems, petroleum constructions (e.g., pipelines, refineries), and so on. Annually, billions of dollars are invested in infrastructure replacement and corrosion control methods, resulting in losses of 3-4% of the Gross domestic product (GDP) in developed countries. The putative utilization of various nanostructured substances in corrosion protection, mitigation, and regulation is a matter of growing attention, in this regard. Due to their exceptional characteristics such as huge surface area, excellent mechanical properties, light weight, easy synthesis, and synergistic behavior with other materials, carbon allotropes (i.e., carbon black, fullerene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots, graphene and graphene oxide) nanostructures coatings have become extremely important as an effective corrosion inhibitor. The goal of this chapter is to explore the economic and commercial growth and strategies used by various industries and countries around the world to employ carbon allotropes nanostructures-based corrosion inhibitors. As per current data, the worldwide corrosion inhibitor market was $6 billion (USD) in 2013, $7.7 billion (USD) in 2020, and is predicted to hit $10 billion (USD) by 2027. This chapter also throws light on carbon allotropes nanostructures-based coatings, economics, and commercialization of these carbon allotropes nanostructure-based corrosion inhibitors. Furthermore, morphological investigations of metal surfaces are provided
