The adsorption activity and inhibition effect of seed extract as a green inhibitor for the dissolution of carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution were investigated. In this study, we used a chemical technique (gravimetric method), electrochemical techniques, electrical frequency modulation (EFM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques, and theoretical studies. In addition to these techniques, we examined the surface morphology of the carbon steel utilizing different methods.
