M. K. Skalli

M. K. Skalli is a researcher at the Faculty of Science and Technology, Fez, Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University, Morocco, with significant contributions to chemistry since 2001. His work spans affiliations at CNRS and Sorbonne Université in France, focusing on organic chemistry and corrosion inhibition for industrial material protection.

Skalli's research centers on synthesizing and evaluating organic compounds—including quaternary ammonium surfactants, isatin derivatives, and phosphonated compounds—as corrosion inhibitors for metals in acidic media. He employs experimental techniques (weight loss, electrochemical analysis, SEM) and theoretical modeling to study inhibition mechanisms, emphasizing practical applications in hydrochloric and phosphoric acid environments.

His 22 publications (2001–2022) show evolving focus: early work explored cocatalysts (2001) and phosphonated inhibitors (2011), while recent studies (2016–2020) prioritize comparative analyses of heterocyclic compounds and indole derivatives for mild steel protection, reflecting sustained innovation in corrosion science.

Skalli has secured sponsorship from the United States Agency for International Development, Taif University, and King Saud University, each funding one-third of his sponsored research. No scientific awards are documented in available records.

He conducts research within the Organic Chemistry Laboratory at his university, collaborating internationally to advance corrosion prevention strategies. His work bridges theoretical insights with industrial applications, targeting enhanced metal integrity in corrosive settings.
