Film characterization revealed that the outer layers (PEI/MXene) were assembled on the surface by electrostatic interaction and provided a good coverage of LDHs nanosheets. But, microcracks appeared gradually on the surface and destroyed the film integrity with increasing number of PEI/MXene layers. The corrosion tests indicated that the MgAl-V2O74- LDHs/(PEI/MXene)10 composite films provided a better corrosion protection ability than that of n=5 and 20. The outer layers (PEI/MXene) had a corrosion inhibition protective effect on MgAl-V2O74- LDHs film. This work opened a new perspective of the MXene materials for anticorrosion application via a layer-by-layer assembly method.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmst.2021.03.011} (DOI).
