Novel modified Zn-Al LDH/epoxy coatings are synthesized and applied to steel substrates, providing active corrosion protection and improved barrier properties. This protective coating is made by combining Epon 828 as a polymer matrix with modified layered-double-hydroxy (LDH) nanoparticles acting as corrosion inhibitor containers. To synthesize the coatings, nitrate was intercalated into Zn-Al-LDH layers through an aqueous co-precipitation method to obtain Zn-Al LDH-NO, and decavanadate replaced nitrate within the LDH layers through an anion exchange process to obtain Zn-Al LDH-(VO). The intercalated LDH was functionalized by silanization with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) to increase the compatibility of the LDH inhibitor nanocontainers with epoxy resin and produce a protective coating. To protect the mild steel substrate, functionalized LDH nanopowders were dispersed into the epoxy resin, mixed with a polyamide hardener (Epikure 3571), and applied and cured to the metal surface. Surface morphology, structure, and chemical composition were determined for the modified LDH nanopowders using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Corrosion protection of the coating system was studied using long-term immersion testing and potentiodynamic polarization studies in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution.

Electrolysis of seawater for hydrogen (H) production to harvest clean energy is an appealing approach. In this context, there is an urgent need for catalysts with high activity and durability. RuO electrocatalysts have shown efficient activity in the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER), but they still suffer from poor stability.

Research on stimuli-responsive micro-nanocontainers has gained attention for targeted corrosion inhibition and controlled emulsification-demulsification in oil recovery. However, existing nanocontainers face issues like irreversible drug release and limited functionality. This study presents a multi-functional nanocontainer design with reversible drug release and emulsification-demulsification capabilities.

Aqueous zinc (Zn) metal batteries (ZMBs) have received great attention due to their safety and environmental friendliness. Although aqueous electrolytes facilitate fast kinetics in metal oxide cathodes, their incompatibility with the Zn metal anodes triggers severe hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and dendrite growth. Herein, a self-phase separated electrolyte (SPSE) is proposed to fulfill the contradictory requirements of the anode and cathode in ZMBs.

The synergistic effect of CNT and three-dimensional N-doped graphene foam (3DNG) on improving corrosion resistance of zinc-reinforced epoxy (ZRE) composite coatings was studied in this work. Although CNT itself was demonstrated to be effective to promote the anti-corrosion performance of the ZRE coating, the incorporation of additional 3DNG leads to further enhancement of its corrosion resistance under the synergistic effect of the hybrid carbon nanofillers with different dimensions. Both the content of the carbonaceous fillers and the ratio between them affected the performance of the coating.

A trend has been established concerning the research and development of various green and biodegradable plastics for multi-purpose applications, aiming to replace petroleum-based plastics. Herein, we report the synthesis of chitosan (CH) films using lemon juice; these were reinforced with NiZnFeO nanoparticles (NiZnFeO NPs) to obtain improved mechanical and barrier properties, facilitating their future application as sustainable, corrosion-resistant coatings for medical instruments. The synthesized NiZnFeO NPs had a crystallite size of ~29 nm.
