This Collection provides updated research from the Intelligent corrosion control 2023 Collection.

The emergent materials genome engineering research field has spurred development in materials intelligent technologies that are transforming the corrosion research paradigm. For example, advanced computation has become essential in elucidating corrosion mechanisms at atomic and molecular levels which are not yet possible by conventional experimental techniques. High-throughput and automated experiments are employed to substantially accelerate the screening of corrosion-resistant materials and the evaluation of corrosion behaviors under complex/combinatorial influencing factors. Artificial intelligence is revealing its power to predict corrosion behaviors and efficiently discover optimized materials composition out of large search spaces, thereby reducing the time and cost associated with traditional ‘trial-and-error’ corrosion evaluation methods. Relying on these revolutionary technologies, next-generation corrosion-resistant materials that could adapt and respond to environmental attacks are being created towards more durable, sustainable, yet cost-effective corrosion protection.

This new themed Collection of npj Materials Degradation aims to report important advances for intelligent corrosion control (inclusive of intelligent systems in corrosion) in the broadest sense of the term, by gathering original research articles, review papers and perspectives including but not limited to the following topics:

  • Advanced computation for mechanistic corrosion modeling at atomic and molecular scales;
  • High-throughput/automated experiments for corrosion evaluation and materials design;
  • Machine learning and artificial intelligence for corrosion detection, diagnosis and prediction; 
  • Smart corrosion resistant materials with self-healing, corrosion-sensing or other functional properties.

All submissions will be subject to the same rigorous peer-review process and editorial standards as regular npj Materials Degradation articles. Review articles and perspectives are by invitation only. The Guest Editors declare no competing interests with the submissions which they have handled through the peer-review process.
