“…21 On-demand release of active/selfhealing agents such as corrosion inhibitors under certain stimuli such as pH, UV emission, temperature, and stress can block active corroding zones of the metallic surfaces, prolonging the lifetime of the coating. 15,21 MXenes, a newly discovered family of graphene-like twodimensional (2D) nanomaterial, can be synthesized by selective removal of A atoms from its counterpart MAX phases. 22 The general formula for MXenes could be denoted as M n+1 X n T x (n = 1, 2, or 3), where M, X, and T x are an early transition metal, carbide, and/or nitride element, and the surface terminations (OH, O, and/or F) come from the fluoride-containing etching solutions, respectively.…”
