  4. Abstract:
  5. In this article, the synthesis procedure of mesoporous carbon nanospheres (MCNSs) using silica hard-templates, doping of the nanospheres with walnut extract, and their impact on active protective properties of an epoxy coating are presented. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) results showed that the synthesis of these nanocontainers was successfully done in spherical form. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results showed that walnut extract as a green inhibitor was doped into the pores of nanocapsules. Corrosion resistance of the mild steel samples in the 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution in the presence and absence of walnut extract was compared. Salt spray and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results proved active protective behavior of the epoxy coating containing the doped MCNSs. It was shown that charge transfer resistance of the bare steel sample enhanced from ˜610 Ω cm2 to ˜4060 Ω cm2 in the presence of WE after 24 h immersion time. Also, the active corrosion protective performance of the scribed coatings was improved ˜1450% in the presence of WE@MCNSs. © 2019 Elsevier B.V
