Abstract
The hydrothermal method was used to synthesize hexagonal 3-5 nm Cadmium Sulfide Quantum Dots (CdS QDs) with Delonix elata leaves’ aqueous extract as a capping agent. The synthesized CdS QDs were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD, FE-SEM spectroscopies. The anticorrosion activity of the CdS QDs-coated Zn plate was exanimated under 1 M HCl, 6 M KOH, 3.5% NaCl electrolytic medium. The best corrosion resistance was achieved through the application of the CdS QDs coating on the Zn metal surface.
