“…The performance of the PEO coating depends on many processing conditions, such as chemical composition of the electrolyte, the nature of the magnesium alloy and electric parameters [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The chemical composition of the electrolyte exerts a significant influence on the final properties of morphology features, coating composition, coating formation kinetics and the corrosion resistance [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. In particular, in order to improve the functionality of PEO coatings, a recent approach has been to incorporate nanoparticles into the oxide coating layer, such as Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , WC, TiN, Si 3 N 4 and PTFE [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”
