Enhancing the anti-corrosion performance of ZIF-8-based coatings via microstructural optimization

Herein, ZIF-8–ZnAl–NO₃ LDH composite coatings showing superior anti-corrosion performance were prepared by the facile hydrothermal growth of ZnAl–NO₃ LDH buffer layers, followed by solvothermal treatment with 2-methylimidazole.
