Results showed that a Zn-(bis-8-hydroxyquinoline) guest encapsulated ZIF-8 host composite (Q@ZIF-8) was formed. The Q@ZIF-8 proves to have an inhibition efficiency of over 91% to protect the aluminum alloy substrate against corrosion in the corrosive solution after 2 days. Additionally, the pH-responsive Q@ZIF-8 can release 8-HQ species in form of hydroxyquinoline zinc complex and improves the corrosion resistance of the epoxy coating.
