Emerging Layered Materials and Their Applications in the Corrosion Protection of Metals and Alloys

Metals and alloys are essential in modern society, used our daily activities. However, they prone to corrosion, with the conversion of metal/alloy its more thermodynamically-favored oxide/hydroxide phase. These undesirable corrosion reactions can lead failure metallic components. Consequently, corrosion-protective technologies now important than ever, as it is reduce waste valuable resources. In this review, we consider role emerging 2D materials layered development a protection strategy. particular, focus on beyond graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, such MoS2, MXenes, double hydroxides, hexagonal boron nitride graphitic carbon formulation effective protective films coatings. Following short introduction synthesis exfoliation materials, their described discussed. Finally, discuss future applications these protection.
