Materials and methods for corrosion inhibition of atomically thin materials

Abstract

Methods and materials for providing corrosion protection for atomically thin materials are described. In some embodiments, an atomically thin material may have a coating that includes one or more alkyl amine species. The coating may cover at least a portion of the atomically thin material, and the coating may form a corrosion protection layer. Depending on the particular materials, a coating may be ionically bonded to at least a portion of an atomically thin material. In some embodiments, a method of forming a corrosion protection layer on at least a portion of an atomically thin material may involve exposing at least a portion of an atomically thin material that corrodes under normal atmospheric conditions to an alkyl amine.
