Abstract

As an enormously valuable cultural heritage, to make sure bronze relics receive more protection and extend the preservation time, the exploration and research of protective coatings for bronze are a systematic, long-term, and specialized study project. However, because of the diversity of influencing factors and sensitivity of copper-based substrate, the stabilization of bronze is confronted with a major challenge. Herein, a novel multifunctional organic-inorganic hybrid coating of fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE), metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived hollow dodecahedral NiCo2O4 nanocapsules, and Ti3C2Tx-MXene nanosheets (FEVE@NiCo2O4/Ti3C2Tx) with superior superhydrophobicity, weatherability, and structural stability was fabricated. The protective effect and anticorrosion performance of organic-inorganic hybrid coating were researched by morphological examination, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, accelerated aging test, and electrochemical measurements. Furthermore, the multifunctional FEVE@NiCo2O4/Ti3C2Tx coating exhibited favorable self-cleaning property, ultraviolet (UV) resistance, reversibility, and maintained good transparency without changing the bronze color and appearance, which would be attributed to the labyrinth effect and the complicated cross-linked skeleton of organic-inorganic hierarchical structure, preventing the transmission and diffusion of corrosive mediums. This work develops a novel material strategy to protect bronzes and explores the anticorrosion mechanism of multifunctional organic-inorganic hybrid, providing guidelines for next-generation promising protection coating.
