Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the most commonly used orthopedic implant material. In recent years, the emergence of cationic doped hydroxyapatite has revealed more possibilities for the biological application of HA. Conventional HA does not promote new bone formation because of its poor osteoinductive activity, and has a similar density to that of bone, leading to difficulty in distinguishing both via imaging. Magnesium ions are useful for regulating the cellular behavior and promoting bone regeneration. Ba ion related compounds, such as BaSO4, have a strong X-ray shielding effect. In this study, Ba/Mg@HA was synthesized to prepare Ba/Mg@HA/PLGA composites, and we aimed to investigate if Ba/Mg@HA/PLGA composites enhanced bone repair on osteoblasts and tibial defects, as well as the X-ray and CT imaging ability of bone implants in rats. The in vitro experimental results showed that the Ba/Mg@HA/PLGA composites significantly improved the attachment and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. These include the promotion of mineral deposition, enhancement of alkaline phosphatase activity, upregulation of OCN and COL-1 gene expression, and increase in COL-1 and OCN protein expression in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The in vivo experimental results showed that the Ba/Mg@HA/PLGA composites significantly increased the rate of bone defect healing and the expression of BMP-2 and COL-1 in the bones of rats. X-ray and CT imaging results showed that the Ba/Mg@HA/PLGA composites enhanced the X-ray imaging ability. These findings indicate that the Ba/Mg@HA/PLGA composites can effectively promote bone formation and improve the X-ray and CT imaging abilities to a certain extent.

This study demonstrates the hydrogen sorption improvement of Mg through the three-dimensional decoration of a noble catalyst. An Mg@Pd composite was synthesized by decorating Pd nanoparticles onto the Mg matrix via a facile solid-gas reduction method. Electron tomography analysis confirms the formation of a three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the Mg@Pd particulate composite . The Mg@Pd composite shows excellent hydrogenation/dehydrogenation kinetics even at low temperatures as compared to a catalyst-free Mg sample. Moreover, the hydrogenated Mg@Pd composite can desorb hydrogen at as low as 246 °C that is 87 °C lower than that of the pure MgH 2 . Hydrogenation of the Mg@Pd composite leads to the development of a multiphase system consisted of PdH 0.706 , MgPd and MgH 2 whereas dehydrogenation occurred via two simultaneous desorption reactions results in Mg 6 Pd and Mg phases. The uniform dispersion of Pd nanoparticles on the surface of the 3D Mg matrix has provided with fast catalytic interfaces via the hydrogen “spillover” mechanism while the concomitant hydrogen diffusion processes are enhanced by the “hydrogen pump” effect of PdH 0.706 /MgPd interfaces. Furthermore, the low temperature hydrogen sorption performances of the Mg@Pd composite can be attributed to the interphase reversibility between MgPd and Mg 6 Pd leading to the thermodynamic destabilization of MgH 2 . This study suggests that strategically new approaches can govern significant improvements in hydrogen storage properties of Mg-based systems.

Noble metal-based surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active substrates have been developed for decades. However, nonreproducible aggregation and photoinduced molecular degradation limit the development of SERS technology. To overcome the shortcomings of noble metal-based SERS substrates, we designed ZrO 2 -based nanoparticles (NPs). By doping Mg and/or Zn ions into these ZrO 2 NPs , the SERS activity was significantly improved. Mg/Zn codoping of ZrO 2 resulted in a much higher oxygen deficiency, thereby providing a sufficient surface state energy (Ess) level to enable charge transfer (CT). The primary contribution for the Mg/Zn-codoped ZrO 2 was determined to be from the CT resonance effect, resulting in an enhancement factor (EF) as high as 10 4 . Most importantly, the CT-induced enhancement of Raman scattering based on Mg/Zn-codoped ZrO 2 has already demonstrated some promising applications in highly sensitive quinolone antibiotic drug determination. Different kinds of quinolone antibiotic drugs can be easily identified and quantitatively analyzed with high sensitivity and reproducibility.

The growing demands for material longevity in marine environments necessitate the development of highly efficient, low-cost, and durable corrosion-protective coatings. Although magnesium alloys are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries, severe corrosion issues still hinder their long-term service in naval architecture. In the present work, an epoxy composite coating containing sericite nanosheets is prepared on the AZ31B Mg alloy using a one-step electrophoretic deposition method to improve corrosion resistance. Due to the polyetherimide (PEI) modification, positively charged sericite nanosheets can be highly orientated in an epoxy coating under the influence of an electric field. The sericite-incorporated epoxy coating prepared in the emulsion with 4 wt.% sericite exhibits the highest corrosion resistance, with its corrosion current density being 6 orders of magnitude lower than that of the substrate. Electrochemical measurements and immersion tests showed that the highly orientated sericite nanosheets in the epoxy coating have an excellent barrier effect against corrosive media, thus significantly improving the long-term anti-corrosion performance of the epoxy coating. This work provides new insight into the design of lamellar filler/epoxy coatings with superior anticorrosion performance and shows promise in the corrosion protection of magnesium alloys.

Mg-ion batteries (MIBs), as a next-generation battery, are drawing considerable attention due to abundant and well-distributed magnesium sources available. The construction of structurally ideal bimetallic sulfides can effectively alleviate the poor cycling stability of MIBs. Herein, we report for the first time, the synthesis of bimetallic sulfide CoNi 2 S 4 hollow nanospheres (CoNi 2 S 4 HSs) via a one-step solvothermal method and their application as a cathode material for MIBs. Compared with common unary transition metal sulfides, CoNi 2 S 4 HSs have more electrochemically active sites and higher electronic conductivity. Meanwhile, the distinct morphology of CoNi 2 S 4 HSs exhibits higher surface area, smaller charge-transfer resistance, and higher magnesium diffusion coefficient. Further, CoNi 2 S 4 HSs deliver a considerable reversible capacity of 290.1 mAh g −1 at 50 mA g −1 , and a high capacity of 97.8 mAh g −1 can be achieved at 1000 mA g −1 , demonstrating excellent rate performance. The structural integrity, high specific capacity, good rate capability and cycling stability of CoNi 2 S 4 HSs render it a promising cathode material for advanced MIBs.

As a promising supercapacitor electrode material, NiMn-LDH has attracted great attention due to its high theoretical capacity and easy preparation. However, the development and application of NiMn-LDH in supercapacitors are limited because of its poor cycling stability and low electrical conductivity. To solve these problems, a NiMnMg-LDH with a three-dimensional porous morphology has been successfully fabricated by doping with Mg to improve its electrochemical properties. Experimental results indicate that NiMnMg-LDH-7 delivers a specific capacitance of 1772 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1. Moreover, it can still reach 1080 F g−1 when the current density is increased 10 times, suggesting excellent rate capability. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) NiMnMg-LDH-7//AC can provide a high energy density of 28 W h kg−1 at a power density of 700 W kg−1. Furthermore, the energy density can still reach 16 W h kg−1 even if the power density is increased to close to 3500 W kg−1. The capacity retention of this ASC device can reach 74% after 3000 cycles at a current density of 3 A g−1. These excellent properties of NiMnMg-LDH can be attributed to the obvious improvement of its specific surface area and electrical conductivity owing to doping with the element magnesium. We believe that this work could provide a new idea for the preparation of high-performance electrode materials for supercapacitors.

In this study, Mg-MOF-74, an environmentally friendly metal-organic framework material with non-toxic Mg elements as the framework centers, was loaded onto low-cost and green cellulose aerogels via an in-situ growth approach to construct the Mg-MOF-74@CA composite with a three-dimensional porous structure, overcoming the problems that Mg-MOF-74 nanoparticles tend to agglomerate and cannot be easily recovered. The removal performance of the synthesized Mg-MOF-74@CA composite towards Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) was evaluated by combining batch experiments, model fittings, and characterization analyses (SEM, XRD , FTIR, MIP, TG, and XPS). The results show that the porosity of Mg-MOF-74@CA is 84.447%. The removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) by Mg-MOF-74@CA reach the equilibriums at about 5 h. And the removal of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) by Mg-MOF-74@CA are strongly influenced by solution pH, while almost independent of ionic strength and humic acid (HA). The strong complexation of Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) with the surface sites of Mg-MOF-74@CA is the main removal mechanism. The maximum adsorption capacities of Mg-MOF-74@CA towards Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) at 298 K are 223.555, 160.033, and 74.349 mg/g, respectively. Interestingly, the selective binding order of Mg-MOF-74@CA for Pb(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) is Cu(II)>Pb(II)>Cd(II). In summary, the Mg-MOF-74@CA composite has good application prospects in practical wastewater treatment.

A core–shell nanostructured Mg@Pt composite, consisting many of icosahedral Mg particles as the core with nano-sized Pt particles distributed homogeneously on different surfaces, was synthesized through an arc plasma method followed by the generic solid-state method. The microstructures and hydrogen sorption properties of the Mg@Pt composite were carefully investigated and compared to that of pure Mg powder. In particular, the dehydrogenation behaviors of the hydrogenated Mg@Pt composite were observed in situ via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The results revealed that the Pt on Mg particles showed a “spillover” effect to improve the hydrogen absorption kinetics in the early stage. It then transformed into H-stabilized Mg3Pt, followed by the formation of MgH2. DFT calculation and in situ TEM observations demonstrated that the H-stabilized Mg3Pt acted as a “hydrogen pump” for the dehydrogenation of MgH2 and then transformed into Pt after desorption. Through this effect, the dehydriding kinetics of the hydrogenated Mg@Pt composite was improved and the onset dehydrogenation temperature was reduced compared to that of the pure MgH2 powder.

A spraying method has been employed to prepare silica-based superhydrophobic coatings on AZ31B Mg alloy surfaces. Both nanometer and micrometer silica particles were used to construct the micrometer and nanometer scale binary structures, and 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFOTES) was used as the fluorine silane coupling agent. The coatings were characterized using the techniques of Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra. The corrosion resistance properties of the prepared superhydrophobic surfaces were checked based on polarization curves. And their wetting properties were studied for aqueous solutions of HCl, NaOH, NaCl, MgCl 2 , NaI, CH 3 COONa, C 2 H 5 OH, C 17 H 33 COONa, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, respectively, with contact angle and sliding angle as the parameters. In contrast with the bare magnesium alloy AZ31B, after coating, the corrosion current density shows a more than three-order of magnitude smaller value, and the water contact angle increases from ∼32° to over 155°. Solution pH and coexisted NaCl, MgCl 2 , NaI, and CH 3 COONa salts have little effect on the wetting properties of the prepared superhydrophobic surfaces. On the contrary, coexisted C 2 H 5 OH, C 17 H 33 COONa, or sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate has an obvious effect on the wetting properties. The differences in the wetting properties were explained by considering the interactions between the superhydrophobic surfaces and the surfaces of the solution droplets. In addition, the superhydrophobicity coating also exhibited good mechanical, chemical and environment stability in the abrasion test, immersion test, salt spray test, etc.

The hydrogen storage potential and cost-effectiveness of MgH2 have rendered it a desirable material for hydrogen storage. However, its application has been hindered by limitations in thermal stability and dehydrogenation kinetics. In this study, the carbon nanotube-Pd bifunctional catalyst was prepared by using hydrothermal and calcination technology, significantly improving the kinetics of Mg/MgH2 during hydrogen adsorption/desorption. The activation energy for the Mg@ CNTs-Pd was reduced to 42.73 kJ/mol, as determined by fitting the Avrami–Erofeev model with the Arrhenius equation. Additionally, the activation energy during dehydrogenation was found to be 73.98 kJ/mol based on the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov equation and the Arrhenius equation. It is worth noting that the dynamic enhancement persists even after 10 cycles. This groundbreaking research has paved the way for potential applications of MgH2 as a hydrogen storage material, providing it with broader development opportunities.

A multi-layer coating composed of SiC inner-layer and Mg and F co-substituted hydroxyapatite/chitosan hybrid out-layer for carbon fibers has been synthesized using a combination method of chemical vapor deposition , electrochemical deposition and ion exchange method. The morphology, microstructure and in-vitro bioactivity of the multi-layer coating are analyzed. The results show that the SiC inner-layer exhibits a squamous shape. Mg and F co-substituted hydroxyapatite/chitosan hybrid out-layer covers the SiC inner-layer coated carbon fiber entirely and uniformly with a flat structure. The multi-layer coating could induce the precipitation of particle-shaped apatite crystals with Ca/P molar ratios of 1.34–1.51 on its surface in simulated body fluid. The multi-layer SiC/Mg and F co-substituted hydroxyapatite/chitosan coated carbon fibers should have potential application for tissue engineering.

Aimed at the green synthesis of supported noble metal nanoparticles without any additional reducing agents or stabilizers at room temperature, a new strategy in which monodispersed Pd nanoparticles were successfully immobilized on Mg–Al mixed metal oxides derived from layered double hydroxides was developed, and the reduction mechanism was also proposed. It allowed the in situ immobilization of monodispersed Pd nanoparticles with a face-centered cubic structure, using only alcohols with α-hydrogen atom as the solvent and reducing agent. Control over the mean particle size and content of Pd nanoparticles was realized by adjusting the temperature, initial concentration, and type of alcohol. With the content of Pd varied from 6.4 to 42.3 mg/g, the mean particle size of Pd increased from 1.1 to 4.9 nm. The as-prepared catalyst showed high catalytic activity for oxidation of benzyl alcohol: when the Pd content was 6.4 mg/g, conversion of 60.3% and selectivity of 99.2% were obtained with a turnover frequency of 4807 h–1. Similarly, on the basis of the high stand electrode potentials, immobilized Ag (5.6 nm) and Au (4.7 nm) nanoparticles were also prepared through this methodology. Moreover, the choice of supports was extended to other powder supports that would react with the byproduced acid. Overall, this facile method opens up new opportunities for controllable synthesis of supported nanoparticle catalysts in a green way.
