In this paper, the inhibition performance and anti-corrosion mechanism of a triblock copolymer, namely, Pluronic F68, on Al in 3.5% NaCl electrolyte are investigated with a multidimension approach combining electrochemical and theoretical approaches. The results suggest that Pluronic F68 inhibitor can present wonderful anticorrosion efficiency, and the maximum inhibition efficiency can reach 94% at low dose concentration. Meanwhile, the battery containing Pluronic F68 exhibits better performance. Significantly, the present work is beneficial to understand the inhibition mechanism of similar organic polymers and provides a feasible approach to develop Al-air batteries.en10.20964/2019.12.19info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAl-air batteryCorrosion inhibitionElectrochemistryTheoretical calculationsArticle141211490114802-s2.0-85083430707Q3WOS:000502341900064Q4
