Two-dimensional layered materials have attracted widespread attention in coating anticorrosion due to their unique morphological structure, high specific surface area, and excellent physical and mechanical properties. Combined with the latest researches at home and abroad, the research progress of two-dimensional layered materials, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, hydrotalcite, and montmorillonite, in coating anticorrosion was reviewed in this paper. Moreover, the anticorrosion effect of various two-dimensional layered materials applied in coating anticorrosion were summarized and compared. Finally, the development trend of two-dimensional layered materials in coating anticorrosion was prospected.
