Abstract: The rapid development of industrialization requires the advancement of multifunctional coatings. In this study, successful self-assembly of iron porphyrin on BP nanosheets resulted in the synthesis of IBP nanosheets with a sandwich structure. Characterization tests including SEM, XPS, SPM, and XRD confirmed the successful preparation of IBP nanosheets with robust structural stability and antioxidation. Subsequently, a water-based epoxy resin (WEP) coating containing IBP nanosheets was prepared. Test results revealed that the composite coating containing 0.4 wt.% IBP nanosheets exhibited outstanding anti-corrosion, wear-resistant, and flame-retardant properties. After 42 days of immersion in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, the Rct value of the 4-IBP/WEP coating was 1.79 × 109 Ω cm2, surpassing the Pure WEP coating by more than 3 orders of magnitude. Additionally, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and wear rate of the 4-IBP/WEP coating decreased by 19.29 % and 90.97 % compared to the Pure WEP coating. This research presents a novel idea for the utilization of BP nanosheets in multifunctional coatings.
