Abstract

In response to environmental concerns about toxic corrosion inhibitors, nanomaterials have gained attention for their enhanced corrosion inhibition properties due to their high surface-to-volume ratio. This paper summarizes advancements in utilizing nanomaterials to control corrosion, exploring various preparation methods and effectiveness as inhibitors. Nano-based intelligent coatings have emerged as promising solutions, with this review examining their corrosion inhibition mechanisms, performance attributes, and future prospects. By combining nanomaterials with traditional inhibitors, synergistic effects can be achieved. Performance assessment extends to real-world scenarios, considering factors like adhesion, durability, and practical implementation across industries. Future trends include integrating real-time monitoring abilities and using environmentally conscious nanomaterials for sustainable corrosion control.
