Abstract

Although graphene and graphene-based materials (GBMs) offer a wide range of possible applications, interest in their use as barrier layers or as reinforcements in coatings for the mitigation of corrosion has grown during the past decade. Because of its unique two-dimensional nanostructure and exceptional physicochemical characteristics, graphene has gotten a lot of attention as an anti-corrosion material. This enthusiasm is largely driven by the requirement to integrate more features, improve anti-corrosion effectiveness, and eventually prolong the service duration of metallic components. As barriers against metal corrosion, graphene nanosheets can be applied singly or in combination to create thin films, layered frameworks, or composites. Concurrently, over the past few years, significant advancements have been made in the establishment of scalable production methods for graphene and materials based on graphene. Since there is currently a wide variety of graphene material with various morphologies and characteristics, it is even more important that the production approach and the intended application be properly matched. This review gathers the most recent data and aims to give the reader a comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in the use of graphene and GBMs in various anti-corrosion strategies. The structure–property correlation and anticorrosion techniques in these systems are given special consideration. The current article offers a critical examination of this topic as well, stressing the areas that require more research.
