In this study, the corrosion behavior of Zircaloy was investigated in the presence and absence of copper–graphene nanocomposites coating. The coating was prepared employing Hummers’ and electrochemical reduction methods. The morphology of copper–graphene nanocomposites coating was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Corrosion behavior was investigated employing dynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests in a solution containing lithium hydroxide (LiOH), boric acid (H3BO3), and deionized water. The results showed that corrosion resistance of Zircaloy increased with introduction of copper–graphene nanocomposites coatings. The lowest corrosion rate was attained in the Zircaloy with copper–graphene nanocomposites coating (corrosion rate: 0.040 mm/year). An approximately 20 times decrease in the corrosion rate was observed in the Zircaloy with copper–graphene nanocomposites coating when compared to the un-coated Zircaloy (corrosion rate: 0.831 mm/year).
