Toward Ceramic Anticorrosion Coatings: A Review

Ceramic coatings have attracted significant attention for anticorrosion application, given the chemical stability. Although many satisfactory results have been achieved, there is no review on the latest research progress of ceramic anticorrosion coatings. For the first time, this paper systematically reviews the lastest advances of ceramic anticorrosion coatings. First, the preparation technologies of ceramic coatings are described in detail. Toughening, as the key to the anticorrosion of ceramic coatings, is also highlighted. The corrosion mechanisms of ceramic coatings are also illustrated. The paper concludes with some doubts of ceramic coatings and outlining the trend for future research.
