The excellent flexibility of graphene materials that allows them to adjust to the curvature of the substrate surface, chemical surface inertness, and impermeability have attracted considerable attention in the past decade as a blending material and an additive in anti-corrosion coatings. In this paper, we present the role of graphene in enhancing the protective properties of anti-corrosion coatings on metal surfaces with the aim of improving the anti-corrosion performance and extending the life of the coating on metal structures, comparing the anti-corrosion ability of graphene with some types of metal oxide materials such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide. The methods of graphene fabrication and the method of blending graphene into the coating composition give results on mechanical properties, wettability, antibacterial properties, anti-corrosion properties, fire resistance and current research trends in graphene-based coating materials and explore optimal solutions for applications in the paint industry.
