A method of coating a substrate includes adding ion erosion resistant particles, conductive particles, and a binder to an electrophoretic solution in an electrophoretic deposition apparatus including the substrate and a cathode spaced from the substrate. A current is applied to the substrate and cathode to deposit a first layer coating including the erosion resistant particles, the conductive particles, and the binder onto the substrate. The method further includes adding a low work function material to an electrolyte solution in an electrolytic deposition apparatus including the substrate and a cathode spaced from the substrate. A current is applied to the substrate and the cathode to deposit a second layer coating including the low work function material onto the substrate.

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of coatings, and in particular relates to a graphene-modified silicon-titanium nano-polymer slurry, and a preparation method and use thereof. When the graphene-modified silicon-titanium nano-polymer slurry provided by the present disclosure is added to a polymer coating, the high resistance of graphene to gas and liquid permeation and the silicon-titanium graphene network structure can significantly increase the resistance of a formed coating layer to medium permeation; due to the corrosion resistance of graphene, titanium, and silicon nanoparticles, a formed coating layer has very high stability, is not easy to react with various media such as an acid, an alkali, and a salt, is not easily consumed to form pores, and is not easy to react with corrosive media to generate soluble salts or cathodic loose and expanded products, which ensures the long-term stability of a composition and a structure of the coating layer.
