Abstract Nitrogen doped carbon dots (NCDs) were synthesized and used for inhibiting the corrosion of Q235 carbon steel in hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Inhibition effectiveness in short- and long-term immersion was examined using electrochemical measurements, weight loss and surface analysis. Results revealed the inhibition efficiency was improved significantly after adding NCDs and strongly dependent on the concentration of NCDs. SVET results showed that the sample immersed in HCl solution with NCDs showed lower anodic current density mapping than that in blank HCl solution. According to the data extracted from the Langmuir adsorption, the absorption of NCDs involved both chemisorption and physisorption.
