A Novel Nanoflower-like Zn-Cu Bimetallic Organic Framework: Enhanced Comprehensive Corrosion Resistance of Cu-MOF in Epoxy Resin Coatings.

ABSTRACT: Copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) show great promise in corrosion protection due to their large specific surface area and inherent antibacterial properties. However, when applied to epoxy resin (EP) coatings, their tendency to agglomerate and the instability of the passive films formed during corrosion compromise the anticorrosion performance of the composite materials. To overcome these challenges, this study synthesized a series of zinc-copper bimetallic MOFs (Zn/Cu-MOFs) by incorporating zinc ions with similar ionic radii during the synthesis process. The surface morphology and ion release characteristics of the Zn/Cu-MOFs were comprehensively characterized using FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, XPS, and ICP-OES. Subsequently, taking Zn₁₀/Cu-MOF (fabricated with a Zn^2+</
