As reported, implementing corrosion prevention best practices could save 15â??35 of this global cost of damage. In general, metals can be protected by various conventional methods, such as protective coatings, corrosion inhibitors, electrochemical methods (anodic and cathodic protections), and metallurgical design. Recently, nanotechnology can offer the new routes to protect metal effectively at the nanoscale for early stage. This chapter aims to explain how metals can be protected at the nanoscale. It covers the new techniques using nanoalloys, nanoinhibitors, nanocoatings, nanogenerators, nanosensors, and photogenerated cathodic protection. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
