Revolutionizing Industrial Protection: Metal−Organic Frameworks against Corrosion

Abstract

This chapter explores the transformative role of metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) in enhancing corrosion protection across diverse industrial applications. It begins with a historical perspective on MOFs, detailing their development and the underlying mechanisms that make them effective in corrosion prevention. The discussion extends to the application of MOFs in advanced coatings and composite materials, highlighting their superior corrosion resistance and durability enhancements. Innovative strategies, including the incorporation of nanotechnology, the design of self-healing systems, and the development of environmentally friendly MOF-based materials, are thoroughly examined. The chapter also considers the integration of artificial intelligence for optimizing MOF formulations and forecasting their performance under various conditions. Through comprehensive case studies and in-depth analysis, the chapter demonstrates the wide-ranging capabilities and advantages of MOFs, positioning them as a pivotal solution in modern corrosion management. It underscores the necessity for ongoing research and development to harness the full potential of MOFs in advancing sustainable industrial practices.
