Heteroatom-doped carbon allotropes, characterized by the incorporation of non-carbon elements into their structures, have emerged as promising candidates for advanced corrosion protection. This explores the significance of heteroatom-doped carbon allotropes, such as nitrogen-doped graphene in revolutionizing corrosion inhibition techniques. These materials exhibit enhanced catalytic activity, improved barrier properties, and tailored surface reactivity, making them invaluable for inhibiting corrosive processes which is a ubiquitous challenge in materials science, and demands innovative strategies for effective protection. This article focuses on the mechanisms through which heteroatom-doped carbon allotropes provide corrosion protection, including barrier protection and cathodic protection, elucidating their fundamental role in hindering the corrosion process and also highlighting their applications in diverse industries, emphasizing their pivotal role in ensuring the durability and longevity of materials exposed to corrosive environments. The challenges and future prospects associated with these materials are also discussed, underscoring their potential to redefine the landscape of corrosion protection technologies.
