ABSTRACT
Metal-graphene nanocomposites can be considered promising materials for anti-corrosion protection of metals and alloys. They can be prepared using a large palette of methods, varying from electrodeposition and electroless plating to chemical vapour deposition and laser assisted deposition. In this chapter, the widely used methods and the properties of various metal/alloys-graphene composites are reviewed. The influence of different experimental factors on the anti-corrosion performance of these layers is also analysed. Moreover, the ability of the most common metal - graphene composites to protect metals and alloys against corrosion is examined and some working mechanisms proposed in the literature by different authors are discussed.
