ABSTRACT
Graphene, due to its unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties, has caught the eye of the whole world and has been explored for various applications since its discovery in 2004. The properties of gas impermeability, chemical resistance, ultra-large aspect ratio, and thermal stability make graphene a promising candidate in the corrosion protection field over the last few years. Its derivatives, including reduced graphene, reduced graphene oxide, fluorinated graphene, and graphene quantum dost, are featured with abundant surface functional groups and easy modification, which have also attracted more and more attention in the field of anticorrosion. Hence, the synthesis strategies and applications in the anticorrosion field of graphene and its derivatives are briefly summarized. Finally, the development trends of graphene and its derivatives in the anticorrosion field are discussed.
