ObjectivesWith the implementation of the national “Dual Carbon Strategy” (carbon peak and carbon neutrality), it is anticipated that the existing coating structures may not meet the requirements of future gas turbine thermal protection coatings. The concept of a new type of environmental/thermal barrier coating (E/TBC) structure with high temperature corrosion resistance has been proposed to meet the demand for thermal protection coatings in hybrid hydrogen combustion engines.MethodsThe development history and research status of thermal barrier coating (TBC), environmental barrier coating (EBC), thermal/environmental barrier coating (T/EBC) and thermal and environmental barrier coating (TEBC) were reviewed and analyzed from the perspective of thermal protection coating materials and coating structures. Moreover, the gap between the above coating structures and the requirementsof thermal protection coating for mixed hydrogen gas turbines was investigated.ResultsIt is reasonable to superimpose the function of EBC onto the thermal protection coating of current mixed hydrogen gas turbines, thereby forming a new type of E/TBC structure with high temperature corrosion resistance on the high-temperature alloy substrate.ConclusionsThrough the preliminary test, it is proved that the new E/TBC structure is suitable for the thermal protection coating requirements of mixed hydrogen gas turbine against high temperature water oxygen corrosion, and it is pointed out that the theory and application research of this new E/TBC thermal protection coating should be vigorously carried out.
