Emerging Layered Materials and Their Applications in the Corrosion Protection of Metals and Alloys.
Sustainability, 14 (7).
Abstract
Metals and alloys are essential in modern society, and are used in our daily activi-
ties. However, they are prone to corrosion, with the conversion of the metal/alloy to its more
thermodynamically-favored oxide/hydroxide phase. These undesirable corrosion reactions can lead
to the failure of metallic components. Consequently, corrosion-protective technologies are now more
important than ever, as it is essential to reduce the waste of valuable resources. In this review, we
consider the role of emerging 2D materials and layered materials in the development of a corrosion
protection strategy. In particular, we focus on the materials beyond graphene, and consider the role
of transition metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS2, MXenes, layered double hydroxides, hexagonal
boron nitride and graphitic carbon nitride in the formulation of effective and protective films and
coatings. Following a short introduction to the synthesis and exfoliation of the layered materials, their
role in corrosion protection is described and discussed. Finally, we discuss the future applications of
these 2D materials in corrosion protection.
