“…Many types of particles can be used to improve the corrosion resistance of PEO coatings on Mg alloys. One of the largest groups includes ceramic oxides such as ZrO 2 [ 53 , 212 , 213 , 214 , 215 , 216 , 217 ], CeO 2 [ 53 , 218 , 219 , 220 , 221 , 222 ], Y 2 O 3 [ 223 ], Sb 2 O 3 [ 224 ], TiO 2 [ 225 , 226 ], Al 2 O 3 [ 227 , 228 , 229 ], SiO 2 [ 230 , 231 , 232 , 233 ], and clay [ 116 , 234 ]. Depending on the PEO parameters and thermodynamic stability of these ceramic oxides, they experience either inert [ 213 , 226 , 227 , 231 ] or reactive/partly reactive incorporation, resulting in the formation of new stable phases like Mg 2 Zr 5 O 12 , Mg 2 TiO 4 , Mg 2 SiO 4 , or MgAl 2 O 4 [ 212 , 219 , 220 , 225 , 228 , 230 , 231 ].…”
