“…In addition to their barrier properties, 2D nanomaterials are frequently used as smart nanocarriers to load several corrosion inhibitors, e.g., Zn(II), Ce(III), phytic acid, and zinc phosphate. − Being a green, low-cost, and easy-to-obtain organic small-molecule inhibitor, dopamine (3-hydroxytyramine, DA) has application potential in the field of anticorrosion. , First, DA easily self-polymerizes into polydopamine (PDA) and forms a protective coating on the surface of nanomaterials due to the presence of numerous catechol groups. The PDA coating improves the oxidation resistance of nanomaterials and is beneficial for enhancing the compatibility between nanomaterials and polymer coatings .…”
