Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled "Anticorrosive Nanomaterials and Nanostructured Coatings." This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the field of anticorrosive nanomaterials and nanostructured coatings. It will feature a collection of full articles, short communications, and systematic reviews covering a wide range of topics related to this rapidly evolving field.

Corrosion is a significant challenge faced by industries across various sectors, and the development of effective anticorrosive coatings is of paramount importance. In this Special Issue, we will delve into the innovative approaches and novel materials that are being explored to combat corrosion. The focus will be on nanomaterials and nanostructured coatings, which offer unique advantages such as enhanced barrier properties, tailored surface interactions, and multifunctionality. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials for corrosion protection;
  • Nanocomposite coatings with enhanced barrier properties;
  • Bioinspired coatings;
  • Surface engineering for enhanced corrosion resistance;
  • Scale-up and commercialization of nanocoatings.

Microbial corrosion has significant implications for the economy, environment, and human safety worldwide. Photocatalytic antibacterial technology, owing to its advantages in environmental protection, broad-spectrum, and efficient sterilization, presents a compelling alternative to traditional antibacterial strategies for microbial corrosion protection. In recent years, photocatalytic quantum dot materials have garnered considerable attention in this field due to their unique quantum effects. This article provides a brief overview of the quantum effects associated with quantum dot materials, reviews the classification and preparation methods of these photocatalytic quantum dots, and elucidates their inhibitory effects and mechanisms against microbial corrosion. Finally, this article summarizes unresolved issues and prospects for the future development of quantum dots in the realm of microbial corrosion protection. Full article
