In this pursuit, machine learning emerges as a promising catalyst, despite the challenges presented by the scarcity of high-quality datasets in the field of corrosion inhibition research. To address this obstacle, we have created an extensive electrochemical library of around 80 inhibitor candidates. The electrochemical behaviour of inhibitor-exposed AA2024-T3 substrates was captured using linear polarisation resistance, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and potentiodynamic polarisation techniques at different exposure times to obtain the most comprehensive electrochemical picture of the corrosion inhibition over a 24-h period. The experimental results yield target parameters and additional input features that can be combined with computational descriptors to develop quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) models augmented by mechanistic input features.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1038/s41529-024-00435-z} (DOI).
