Pure Zn (Zinc) and its Zn-WO (Zinc-Tungsten trioxide) composite coatings were deposited on mild steel specimens by applying the electrodeposition technique. Zn-WO composites were prepared for the concentration of 0.5 and 1.0 g/L of particles. The influence of WO particles on Zn deposition, the surface morphology of composite, and texture co-efficient were analyzed using a variety of techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). Higher corrosion resistance and microhardness were observed on the Zn-WO composite (concentration of 1.0 g/L). The higher corrosion resistance and microhardness of 1.0 g/L Zn-WO nanocomposite coatings effectively protect the steel used for the manufacture of products, parts, or systems from chemical or electrochemical deterioration in industrial and marine ambient environments.

Coastal/offshore renewable energy sources combined with seawater splitting offer an attractive means for large-scale H electrosynthesis in the future. However, designing anodes proves rather challenging, as surface chlorine chemistry must be blocked, particularly at high current densities (). Additionally, waste seawater with increased salinity produced after long-term electrolysis would impair the whole process sustainability.

Multifunctional coatings have great application value in the protection of Marine equipment, ships and ship facilities, but they still suffer from the disadvantages of high preparation cost and complicated synthesis methods. Herein, employing a simple method to synthesize black carbon nitride (BCN), as the filler in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to construct BCN/PDMS composite coating with a multifunctional anti-corrosion/antifouling coating capable of photothermal self-healing property. Experimental results exhibit that the BCN/PDMS coating can still possesses excellent corrosion resistance after 28 d of immersion in the simulated seawater, and the impedance modulus still manages to reach 6.

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an engineered biomaterial that closely resembles the hard tissue composition of humans. Biological HA is commonly non-stoichiometric and features lower crystallinity and higher solubility than stoichiometric HA. The chemical compositions of these biomaterials include calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and trace amounts of various ions such as magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), and strontium (Sr).

The slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have recently attracted significant interest in marine antifouling and corrosion protection. Nevertheless, the insufficient durability and corrosion resistance of SLIPS considerably affect their application potential. In this work, a preparation strategy for ultradurable slippery organic coating was proposed to combat biofouling and corrosion.

Lead (Pb), a highly toxic heavy metal, poses a significant global health risk, particularly to children. Widely used in paint manufacturing for its remarkable corrosion-resistance properties Pb exposure has been linked to severe health issues, including reduced neurotransmitter levels, organ damage, potentially leading to death in extreme cases. Children Are particularly vulnerable, with Pb toxicity primarily affecting the brain, reproductive, kidneys, and cardiovascular systems.
