A variety of corrosion inhibitors including inorganic salts and organic molecules with heteroatoms as well as π – electron clouds were applied as corrosion inhibitors of metals in different corrosive environments. Nanomaterials found numerous applications in the field of corrosion inhibition due to their greater surface area. Nano cages and hollow spheres present in metal organic framework increase their applications in the field of electrochemistry. A short review on the study of MOF as corrosion inhibitors was discussed in this article. Many features of MOF based corrosion inhibitors as well as their current trends and future scope were also discussed.
