Development of anti-corrosive coating on AZ31 Mg alloy modified by MOF/LDH/PEO hybrids

The self-assembly of hybrid inorganic-organic materials on stationary platforms plays a critical role in improving their structural stability and wide usability. In this work, a novel two-step hydrothermal approach is proposed for synthesizing stable and advanced hybrid coatings on metal-oxide platforms through the surface modification of layered double hydroxide (LDH) films using novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Initially, Mg-Al LDH nanocontainers, grown on a magnesium oxide layer produced through plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of AZ31 Mg alloy substrate, were intercalated with cobalt via an oxidation route, providing the metallic coordination center for the MOF formation. In the subsequent step, a…
