Herein, a new strategy for improving epoxy coatings' anti-corrosion performance has been developed, which combined NH 2 -Ce-MOF with graphene oxide (GO) by hydrothermal method. First, the nanocomposite material's morphology and structure (GO-Ce-MOF) were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, TG, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies. The dispersity of the composite in the epoxy coating was evaluated by SEM and mapping analysis. Meanwhile, the anti-corrosion of as-prepared composite coatings was investigated in detail by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the Tafel polarization curve test. The results illustrated that 2.0 wt% GO-Ce-MOF/EP greatly enhanced the composite coating's anti-corrosion performance compared to other coatings. The reasons for the improvement of the anti-corrosion performance of the composite coating are attributed to the following two aspects: On the one hand, the addition of GO can provide a physical barrier to form a labyrinth effect to slow down the invasion of corrosive media into the metal substrate, on the other hand, the modification of GO can GO-Ce-MOF achieve better compatibility and dispersion in epoxy resin.
The development of advanced lubrication technologies is essential for enhancing energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and improving mechanical durability. In this study, a high-performance lubrication system tailored for diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings is designed, employing graphene oxide-functionalized cerium-based metal–organic framework (GO@Ce-MOF) composites as nano-additive in an aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution. The GO@Ce-MOF hybrids were synthesized via electrostatic self-assembly, demonstrating outstanding tribological characteristics with an exceptionally low coefficient of friction (COF ≈ 0.004) and minimal wear on DLC substrates. Post-friction analysis confirmed that the structural integrity of the DLC coating remained unimpaired, with wear predominantly localized on the opposing steel balls. A bilayer tribofilm, approximately 45.5 nm thick and composed of metal oxides and amorphous carbon, formed on the steel surface, facilitating a transition to carbon/carbon friction interfaces. The rod-like architecture of the cerium-based metal–organic framework (Ce-MOF), encapsulated by layered graphene oxide (GO), synergistically contributed to reduced rolling friction and provided carbonaceous precursors for in situ tribofilm formation. This solid–liquid lubrication synergy enabled superlubricity and near-zero wear. The findings demonstrate a novel strategy for promoting in situ growth of carbonaceous tribofilms on dual friction interfaces, offering transformative potential for sustainable lubrication of advanced coating materials.
