Rare-earth elements-based conversion coatings are actively researched as an environmentally benign alternative to conventionally used chromate-based for magnesium and its alloys. Here, we reviewed the topic comprehensively. The review starts with a short introduction on corrosion of alloys chemical treatments, that is followed by detailed description cerium-based coatings. Morphology, structure composition cerium coatings, their mechanism formation competence control explained. Influence...
Superhydrophobic coatings are projected as a practical approach to tackle the weak aqueous corrosion resistance of Mg/Mg alloys. The present review provides most recent updates in this area. various low surface energy treatments reported presented first, followed by methods employed for developing hierarchical micro/nanostructuring. Reported works different application areas, including anti-corrosion, biomedical and anti-icing systematically discussed. Concise descriptions self-healing...
A novel electrochemical carbon paste sensor containing 10% magnesium doped with zinc oxide nanoparticles was developed and used for detection of an anti-inflammatory drug, mefenamic acid. The electrode materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder diffraction. Electrochemical square wave voltammetric techniques employed to find the lowest possible limit quantify Analytical experiments performed over pH range 3.0–11.2. 7.0 found be...

Screening a green corrosion inhibitor that can prevent Al anode and enhance the battery performance is highly significant for developing next-generation Al-air batteries. This work explores non-toxic, environmentally safe, nitrogen-rich amino acid derivative, N(α)-Boc-l-tryptophan (BCTO), as anodes. Our results confirm BCTO has an excellent inhibition effect Al-5052 alloy in 4 M NaOH solution. An optimum addition (2 mM) increased performance; efficiency was 68.2%, utilization reached 92.0%....
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys possess many outstanding properties, showing great potential to be extensively applied in different fields. Unfortunately, they are highly susceptible corrosion, especially corrosive chloride ions. This causes huge economic loss has restricted their applications industry. Among strategies, protective coatings/surface modifications attract considerable attention because can reduce or even restrain corrosion by preventing contact with the external environment....
