Corrosion resistance of iron (Fe) was achieved by coating it with a reduced graphene oxide ink. The Fe surface with the graphene oxide ink coating exhibited improved corrosion resistance in an aggressive chloride environment, which is attributed to the excellent barrier property of graphene. The advantage of this method is that graphene can be deposited by using a solution process that is easy, reproducible, and can be used to coat objects of any dimensions just like conventional paints or coatings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
