A method of making a multilayer structure is provided, comprising providing a substrate; providing a coating composition, comprising: a liquid carrier, a polycyclic aromatic additive and a MX/graphitic carbon precursor material having a formula (I); disposing the coating composition on the substrate to form a composite; optionally, baking the composite; annealing the composite under a forming gas atmosphere; whereby the composite is converted into an MX layer and a graphitic carbon layer disposed on the substrate providing the multilayer structure; wherein the MX layer is interposed between the substrate and the graphitic carbon layer in the multilayer structure. |
