  • <p><span>Because conventional inhibitors are nonbiodegradable and harmful, the development of eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors is gaining popularity. The anti-corrosive efficacy of <span>2-(2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ethanol</span> on carbon steel in an chloride solution was evaluated in this study using a variety of approaches such as electrochemical measurements and computational studies. The results showed that increasing the concentration of <span>2-(2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ethanol</span> from 0.1 to 3.0 g/L enhanced the inhibition efficiency (IE%) to 90.18-91.71 %. The high ΔE(eV) value of 0.239 and the interaction and binding energies of − 995.45 and 995.45 for <span>2-(2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ethanol</span> molecules onto Fe (110) substrate were further supported by quantum chemical analytics, which also supported the empirical results.<span> </span>The results show that <span>2-(2-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl) ethanol</span> has a bright future as an effective and environmentally safe inhibitor for preventing carbon steel from corroding in corrosive media.</span></p>
