Assessing corrosion resistance of two-dimensional nanomaterial-based coatings on stainless steel substrates.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have elicited considerable interest in the past decade due to a diverse array of novel properties ranging from high surface to mass ratios, a wide range of band gaps (insulating boron nitride (BN) to semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides), high mechanical strength and chemical stability. Given the superior chemo-thermo-mechanical properties, 2D materials may provide transformative solution to a familiar yet persistent problem of significant socio-economic burden: the corrosion of stainless steel (SS). With this broader perspective, we investigate corrosion resistance properties of SS-coated with 2D nanomaterials; molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), BN, bulk graphite in 3.5 wt% aqueous NaCl solution. The nanosheets were prepared by a novel liquid
