Popis: The objective of the work is to identify the anticorrosive property synthesized Nano ZnO rods and CeO2 particles. Both ZnO and CeO2 have good anticorrosion behavior; this materials are tested with and without composition to identify the corrosion inhibition behavior. The result reveals the high protection rate, which was accomplished by the composition. In this research, a detailed investigation of the corrosion inhibition performance of magnesium (Mg) substrate coated nanoparticles like cerium dioxide (CeO2), zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO) and CeO2/ZnO composites were studied. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various physio-chemical techniques. Surface morphology of the developed set of specimens was scrutinized through SEM and EDAX, which established a clean surface coating with minimal defects attainment through doctor’s blade method. Electrochemical corrosion behavior of Mg substrates coated with definite proportions of CeO2, ZnO and CeO2/ZnO composites were conceded in 3.5 wt. % NaCl using Tafel polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Thus the developed CeO2/ZnO composite coating exhibits icorr of 0.905 (A cm−2) and corrosion rate was 0.81 × 10−5 mpy better corrosion resistance compared to bare Mg or CeO2 or ZnO coatings.
