What is it about?
Here we describe an environmentally benign nickel-zinc tungstate (NiWO4-ZnWO4) nanocomposite with great adhesion and reduced porosity due to improved adsorption sites and film ordering inspired by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The synthesis of the newly designed mixed-metal oxide was done via a simple wet-chemical process in the presence of DNA and in-absence of DNA. Electrochemical analyses confirmed improved corrosion protection of Cu by approximately two orders of magnitude by using nickel-zinc tungstate with DNA compared to only the sample without DNA and the blank system (without any inhibitor).
