In this paper, a layered double hydroxide film layer MgAl-LDHs-NO3 was synthesized by hydrothermal method. Tungstate anions (WO42-) and Cysteine(Cys) anions were intercalated into the LDHs interlayer by virtue of the anion exchange reaction to acquire MgAl-LDHs-WO4 and MgAl-LDHs-Cys films. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy spectrometer (EDS), and electrochemical impedance test (EIS) were performed to study the morphology, structure, corrosion resistance and self-healing performance. The results showed that the corrosion resistance were in the sequence of LDHs-WO4＞LDHs-Cys＞LDHs-NO3.All of three film were of effectively self-healing ability. Electrochemical results showed that the films induced to the scratch treatment have better corrosion resistance after immersed in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 8 days, and then showed a downward trend. .Compared to MgAl-LDHs, LDHs-WO4 and LDHs-Cys, contained corrosion inhibiting anions, were displayed the better self-healing ability, due to the film layer could not only capture Cl-, but also release corrosion-inhibiting anions.
