▎ 摘　　要

Graphene has been extensively applied in metallic protection fields based on its extraordinary barrier property, large specific surface area, superlubrication, superhydrophobicity, and many other functional properties. How-ever, two inescapable obstacles appear during the construction process of graphene-based composite coatings (GCCs) that impair the long-term protection performance of the obtained GCCs: 1) the uncontrolled distribution between graphene layers, and 2) the enfoldment of graphene sheets. Several approaches involve electric field-induced alignment, magnetic field-induced alignment, unfolding, and nacre-inspired synergistic strategy have been developed to address these obstacles in recent years, and brought about superior GCCs. This MiniReview summarized and compared these effective approaches for fabricating high-performance GCCs, featuring the relationship between the interface structure and corrosion protection performance. Also, the fabrication pro-cesses and creating broad-spectrum mechanical, thermal, electrical, antibacterial, self-healing, and anti-wear performance were discussed. Finally, perspectives for preparing high-performance and multifunctional GCCs were proposed. We convince that this paper will help to promote the development of high-performance and multifunctional GCCs and is an important significance to corrosion protection of marine and aerospace high-tech equipment at multi-scale coupling damage condition.
