The characterization of coatings was achieved by nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infrared spectra. The surface morphology of electrodes was monitored with scanning electron microscope. The corrosion performance was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic measurements. The quantum calculations were employed, and theoretical parameters were determined. Results showed that the correlation between experimental and theoretical parameters. The high protection efficiency was observed against corrosion on the steel surface via forming a protective polyindole top coated titanium dioxide film.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessA.
