Biomass-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles composite and application as green corrosion inhibitor in oilfield acidic cleaning fluid

Aqueous extract of red onion peels mediates the synthesis of silver nanoparticles composite (AqAgNPs). The AqAgNPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques and evaluated as anticorrosion additive for pipeline (X80) steel. Spherical, stable, crystalline, mo...
