Abstract:nanomaterials have proven that potential applications in protecting metals from corrosion and wear. However, it remains a challenge in easy agglomeration and complex functionalization of 2D nanosheets in nanocomposite coatings. Herein, Co-doped MgAl-V 2 O 7 4− layered double hydroxide (LDH) with transition metal carbide (Mo 2 CT x ) nanosheet composites (CV-LDH-MXene) was synthesized by using a dopingelectrostatic synergistic assembly strategy. After layer-by-layer assembly, nanosheet composite coatings had th… Show more
The pervasive issue of metal corrosion in various industrial environments, especially in marine settings, incurs significant economic costs and hazardous failures. Traditional protection methods, although diverse, fall short in durability and environmental adaptability, necessitating advanced solutions, such as two-dimensional (2D) materials, including graphene, layered double hydroxides, boron nitride, MXenes, and MoS2. These materials offer exceptional barrier properties against corrosive agents due to their high surface area and minimal thickness, enhancing the lifespan and reliability of metal assets under harsh conditions. Innovations such as self-repairing coatings and advanced application techniques, such as automated spraying and rapid photocuring, further augment their effectiveness. In this Review, recent advancements in the development and application of 2D material-enhanced coatings are reviewed, underscoring their potential in revolutionizing marine corrosion protection through improved performance metrics and sustainability. The challenges and prospects of these novel materials are also discussed, highlighting the need for further research to overcome application hurdles and realize their full potential in industrial uses.
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.
