Ti3C2Tx MXene exhibited excellent lamellar structure and could be used as the filler to improve corrosion resistance of waterborne epoxy (WEP) resin. Unfortunately, the aggregation tendency of MXene and its poor antioxidant stability severely limited anti-corrosion performance. Inspired by the predation behavior of Venus flytrap, PCD-MX/WEP coating with excellent dispersion and stress closure function was prepared using MXene co-modified with carbon dots (CDs) and phenanthroline (Phen) derivatives as the fillers, while its physical properties, self-healing capability and corrosion resistance were investigated. The results indicated that the low-frequency impedance modulus (|Z|0.01Hz) of PCD-MX/WEP was 5.83 × 108 Ω·cm2 after 90 days of immersion in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, which was one to two orders of magnitude higher than that of WEP coating. After being buried outdoors for 70 days, the PCD-MX/WEP coating was not corroded, with a |Z|0.01Hz value of 3.61 × 107 Ω·cm2. It exhibited excellent water resistance and wear resistance due to strong interfacial interaction and high density. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, both [Fe(Phen)3]2+ and CD@Fe3+ complexes were thermodynamically stable, while hydrogen bonding between PCD-MX and WEP resin ensured favorable interfacial compatibility. The coating could achieve self-healing capability due to rapid formation of [Fe(Phen)3]2+ in PCD-MX/WEP, and in-situ capture of metal cations by Phen groups could significantly inhibit the generation of corrosion products. This work offers an innovative method for preparing intelligent, environmentally friendly, and self-healing anti-corrosion coating suitable for moist soil.
