For continuing to explore new high-entropy materials, the first high-entropy ilmenite-phase titanate, (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 , is synthesized in this work, further introducing a new crystal structure type for high-entropy ceramics. The uniform chemical composition and typical ilmenite-phase structure of high-entropy (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 are verified by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, and XPS. Homogeneous element distribution and magnetically-coupled atomic arrangement are further performed using Rietveld refinement, Raman spectral fitting, and high-resolution STEM. On this basis, complementary density functional theory simulation with Hubbard correction (DFT + U) is conducted to reveal the band structure and a 2.529 eV bandgap of high-entropy (Mg,Co,Ni,Zn)TiO 3 , thereby enhancing the potential for high emissivity and electronic applications. Excellent thermal stability at 1000–1200 °C, a low thermal conductivity of 2.365 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹ at room temperature, a high hemispherical emissivity of 0.93 within the 3–14 μm wavelength range, and a low dielectric constant of 22.23 are also demonstrated.

Nitrogen doping has been frequently adopted as a useful strategy to endow wide band gap semiconductors with visible light photocatalytic activities. Nevertheless, factors that may influence the effects of nitrogen doping are seldom touched. In this work, we synthesized a series of complex perovskites Sr3BNb2O9 (B = Mg, Ca and Sr) and applied nitrogen doping strategies to these compounds. Our results suggest that a wealth of important parameters such as structural distortions, cation ordering, nitrogen uptake, visible light absorption and surface hydrophilicity are all strongly correlated with cations in the B site. Accommodating large Sr cations in the B site helps to reduce structural distortions and the level of cation ordering. It is also helpful to increase nitrogen uptake, visible light absorption and surface hydrophilicity, all of which seem to be responsible for a much higher photocatalytic activity for water oxidation reactions. The strong correlations between B site cations and the aforementioned parameters open a new avenue for the design and development of efficient photocatalytic properties of these promising materials.

Epoxy resin (EP) coating has high hydrophilicity and poor long-term corrosion resistance . In order to improve its protection ability, an EP-graphene oxide (GO)/SiO 2 multifunctional coating is fabricated on Mg-Zn-Ca alloy in this study, through a spin/spray assisted self-assembly technique. The morphologies and microstructures of the coated samples were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Hydrophobicity and self-cleaning property of the composite coating were tested by an optical contact angle meter and black graphite powders . The stability of the superhydrophobic surface was tested by rubbing with sandpaper and immersing in corrosion solution. The corrosion resistance of coated samples was tested in 3.5 % NaCl solution using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The GO sheets are uniformly dispersed in EP coating. EP-GO acts as a dense bottom layer, effectively promoting its adhesion with the superhydrophobic SiO 2 coating, and the water contact angle (WCA) values range from 158° to 168°. After stability testing, the WCA value of the superhydrophobic coating remains at a high level (115°–155°). The R ct of this composite coating was remarkably increased to 1.0 × 10 22 Ω/cm 2 , implying that the corrosion resistance was improved by eighteen orders of magnitude compared to bare substrate. These results show that the combination of the labyrinth effect and the hydrophobic surface extend the corrosion path and reduce the contact area of the corrosion solution with the coating, which strengthens the barrier effect of the composite coating. The composite coating exhibits superior corrosion resistance durability and self-cleaning property.

ABSTRACT The electrochemical behavior of MgCl 2 and the co-deposition mechanisms of Mg and Sr in the SrCl 2 −KCl eutectic system were evaluated using various electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), square wave voltammetry (SWV), and open-circuit potential (OCP) analysis. It was observed the Mg(II) reduction on the tungsten electrode in SrCl 2 −KCl melt occurred in a single-step process involving the transfer of two electrons, exhibiting a quasi-reversible mode. The electrochemical co-deposition of Mg and Sr in the SrCl 2 −KCl−MgCl 2 melt involved the formation of two types of Mg−Sr intermetallic compounds. The evolution in the co-deposition mechanism of the nucleation type with changing overpotential was explored through chronoamperometry (CA). It is shown that the nucleation pattern on the electrode surface was depended on the substrate materials and the electrode reaction products. Early-stage nucleation was attributed to Mg(II) reduction under all overpotential conditions. With the co-deposition of Mg and Sr, Mg(II) was reduced to form the Mg nucleus on the electrode surface, followed by underpotential deposition of Sr(II) on the Mg surface accompanied by Mg deposition simultaneously. Additionally, increasing MgCl 2 concentration in the SrCl 2 −KCl melt resulted in a higher current density during the Mg−Sr co-deposition process.

In this study, the impact of codoping Mg and Ti on the thermoelectric performance of AgSbTe2 materials was investigated. Through a two-step synthesis process involving slow cooling and spark plasma sintering, AgSb0.98–xMg0.02TixTe2 samples were prepared. The introduction of Mg and Ti dopants effectively suppressed the formation of the undesirable Ag2Te phase. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that Ti doping facilitated the band convergence, leading to a reduction in the effective mass of the carriers. This optimization enhanced carrier mobility and, consequently, electrical conductivity. Additionally, the codoping strategy resulted in the reinforcement of point defects, which contributed to a decrease in lattice thermal conductivity. The AgSb0.98–xMg0.02TixTe2 sample achieved a maximum figure of merit (ZT) value of 1.45 at 523 K, representing an 87% improvement over the undoped AgSbTe2 sample. The average ZT value over the temperature range of 323–573 K was 1.09, marking a significant enhancement in thermoelectric performance. This research demonstrates the potential of Mg and Ti codoping as a strategy to improve the thermoelectric properties of AgSbTe2-based materials.

Rotator cuff tears (RCT) are one of the most common causes of shoulder joint pain and mobility disorders affecting the health of middle-aged and elderly patients. Although the arthroscopic repair can effectively suture the torn rotator cuff, the retear rate is still high, especially for patients with osteoporosis. Excessive oxidative stress, uncontrolled inflammatory infiltration Bone mass reduction, muscle atrophy, and fatty infiltration would gradually aggravate during the development of RCT, which would seriously hinder the effective repair of the repaired rotator cuff after arthroscopic surgery. Herein, a novel nanozyme-based drug delivery system Nb 2 C@Mg-MOF/Pluronic F127 (NMP) consisting of niobium carbide (Nb 2 C), magnesium metal–organic framework (Mg-MOF), and a temperature-sensitive hydrogel (Pluronic F127) was developed for effective regulation of inflammation and orderly regeneration of various tissues from bone to muscle. The in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that NM (Nb 2 C@Mg-MOF) has excellent anti-inflammatory properties. It could actively promote various tissue regeneration, including osteogenesis, inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, myogenesis, inhibit fatty infiltration and angiogenesis. This nanozyme-based drug delivery system plays an effective role in promoting healing in the complex repair process of rotator cuff tears with osteoporosis, which would provide new insights and a promising strategy for treating of osteoporotic rotator cuff tears.

Repairing critical-sized bone defects, particularly those with irregular geometries, remains a significant clinical challenge. Stem cell-derived exosomes have been shown to promote bone defect repair. However, effective encapsulation and delivery of exosomes are still not well solved. To address this, we developed a composite bioink by encapsulating exosomes within a Pickering emulsion system (Water in oil. Water phase: MgO/exosomes; Oil phase: hydroxyapatite/silica/Poly (D, L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate)). This bioink was used to fabricate an exosome-laden MgO composite scaffold (PHS/MgO-EXO) via 3D printing. The PHS/MgO-EXO scaffold featured an excellent hierarchical interconnecting porous structure, capable of sustained release of Mg²⁺ ions and exosomes, which collectively promoted cell proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation. Notably, the scaffold exhibited an excellent shape memory effect, enabling it to achieve conformal fitting and repair of irregular defects upon external stimulation. Moreover, the PHS/MgO-EXO scaffold could promote the repair and regeneration of bone defect in rat skull defect experiment. Transcriptome analyses revealed the mechanism: the PHS/MgO-EXO scaffold regulated the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs through the Hippo signaling pathways, and promoted tissue regeneration by modulating the immune response through the TNF-α and IL-17 pathways. Taken together, this PHS/MgO-EXO scaffold with shape memory properties can release exosomes and sustain the release of Mg²⁺ ions, which will provide a highly promising strategy for clinical repair of irregular bone defects.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted extensive research interest due to their unique structural features, customizable elemental compositions, and tunable functional properties. Nevertheless, the complexity, low efficiency, and high cost of the existing HEO synthesis methods place limitations on them. In this study, Laser directed energy deposition (LDED) was employed to synthesize (Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)O oxides. Additionally, the novelty of applying the LDED process to multicationic systems was emphasized. The comparison between specimens fabricated from mixed powder via LDED(MP) and those fabricated from pre-sintered powder via LDED(SP) encompasses macroscopic morphology, microstructure, and performance. The results showed that SP significantly enhanced the density from 86.44 % to 96.70 % compared to MP. The macro-segregation of Cu and Cu 2 O in the phase composition was observed in MP and SP. High-temperature pre-sintering promoted the solid solution formation of Co and Ni during LDED, leading to more severe micro-segregation of Co and Ni. When employed as anodes in lithium-ion batteries, MP and SP have outstanding long-term cycle stability, according to electrochemical performance studies. At a current density of 100 mAg −1 , these specimens maintained a capacity retention rate of 100 % even after 200 cycles. The initial discharge capacities of MP and SP were respectively 477.73 mAh g −1 and 373.86 mAh g −1 . This study is expected to present a novel approach for the rapid synthesis of (Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)O oxide ceramics .

High-entropy Mg(Mg 0.25 Zn 0.25 Ga 0.5 Ti 0.5 Al 0.5 )O 4 ceramics with disordered spinel structure were prepared at 1420-1500 °C. When sintered at 1480 °C, Mg(Mg 0.25 Zn 0.25 Ga 0.5 Ti 0.5 Al 0.5 )O 4 ceramics exhibited extremely high Q×f of 105,800 ± 300 GHz, improved τ f of –45.3 ± 0.01 ppm/°C, and low ε r of 11.5 ± 0.1, with favorable H v and flexural strength of 11.43 ± 0.01 GPa and 128.1 ± 0.1 MPa, respectively, which were 23.3% and 31.7% higher than those of MgAl 2 O 4 . The measured ε r of Mg(Mg 0.25 Zn 0.25 Ga 0.5 Ti 0.5 Al 0.5 )O 4 ceramics was substantially higher than the calculated εᵣ (C-M) (9.9), due to the underestimated Ti 4+ polarizability and rattling effect. The improved τ f was caused by the decreased τ ε and increased Gibbs free energy. The 1.5 times increase in Q × f stemmed from the increased packing fraction and lattice energy, lowered σ AC , enhanced E a and covalency factor. A cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna was designed with Mg(Mg 0.25 Zn 0.25 Ga 0.5 Ti 0.5 Al 0.5 )O 4 high-entropy ceramic, which can fulfill the communication demands of high-frequency and high-power applications.

Poly(TA-Arg) coating with self-supplying NO fabricated via ethanol-water system. • Poly(TA-Arg) sample possesses a low degradation rate. • HA@CS nanoparticles synthesized with optimal HA:CS ratio. • HA@CS sample promotes endothelialization via PI3K-Akt-eNOS and Nrf2 pathways. Rapid degradation and inadequate re-endothelialization hinder the clinical application of biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloy stents, while thrombosis and bacterial colonization further compromise early implant performance. To address these challenges, a hierarchical bilayer coating, consisting of an inner poly(α-thioctic acid)-L-arginine (Poly(TA-Arg)) layer and an outer hyaluronic acid/chitosan (HA@CS) nanoparticle layer (particle size, ∼240 nm), was fabricated on a fluorinated ZE21B Mg alloy. The Poly(TA-Arg) layer supported endothelial cell (EC)-mediated endogenous nitric oxide (NO) production. It also provided strong interfacial adhesion and corrosion protection, reducing the corrosion current density to 5.60 × 10 −8 A cm −2 . The HA@CS layer exhibited antioxidant activity, prolonged clotting time, low hemolysis, and > 99% antibacterial efficacy, as determined by plate counting. The bilayer coating promoted EC proliferation while inhibiting smooth muscle cell growth. RNA sequencing suggested that the pro-endothelialization effect was associated with PI3K-Akt- endothelial nitric oxide synthase-related signaling and an Nrf2-related antioxidant response. In a rat abdominal aorta model, the coated wire was surrounded by a thin, well-organized neointima with endothelial coverage, minimal inflammation, and no evident thrombosis. No obvious histopathological abnormalities were observed in major organs, and hematological parameters remained within normal ranges. This multifunctional coating provides a potential strategy for improving the vascular compatibility of biodegradable Mg stents.

Continuous Mg 2+ accumulation during hydrochloric acid leaching of nickel laterite ore causes magnesium loss and increases the burden of saline wastewater treatment. In this study, magnesium was recovered from Mg-rich leachate as reactive MgO by precipitation using milk of lime followed by calcination. Simulated MgCl 2 -rich solutions revealed the concentration-dependent precipitation behavior. At low Mg 2+ concentrations, Mg(OH) 2 formed mainly through direct precipitation and produced dense lamellar precursors. At Mg 2+ concentrations of 30 g/L and above, CaMg 2 Cl 6 ·12 H 2 O was detected as a transient chloride-containing double salt during the early precipitation stage, and honeycomb-like porous Mg(OH) 2 precursors were obtained after washing. Calcination of the precursor produced MgO with improved citric acid activity (CAA). The optimized process was validated using purified Mg-rich leachate, achieving a stoichiometry-based Mg precipitation efficiency of 95.47% and producing MgO with approximately 98 wt% purity. The synthesized MgO showed CAA of 22.52 ± 1.19 s, a specific surface area of 60.75 m 2 /g, and Fe removal performance comparable to commercial MgO, supporting its potential internal reuse as a pH adjustment reagent in hydrochloric acid leaching processes.

The microstructure engineering of BaTiO 3 -based ceramic systems serves as an essential prerequisite to attain superior dielectric stability and reliability in modern multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). In this study, the effects of Ca doping on phase composition, microstructure, defect evolution, and dielectric temperature stability were systematically investigated in a novel BaTiO 3 -1 at%CeO 2 -3 at%MgO- x at%CaCO 3 ( x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) ceramic system. The results show that Ca doping promotes the tetragonality of the structure to increase first and then decrease. The addition of Ca 2+ changed the original defect composition of the ceramics: Ca 2+ promotes the conversion of Ce 3+ to Ce 4+ , reduces the reduction of Ti 4+ , and regulates the concentration of oxygen vacancies. The addition of Ca 2+ reduces the grain boundary activation energy ( 1.86 eV to 1.33 eV ), and reduces the carrier concentration to improve the ceramic resistivity. Ca 2+ promotes the enrichment of doped ions at the grain boundary to form a ' core-shell ' structure, which is characterized by broadened and suppressed dielectric peaks. When x = 6 at %, the ceramics meet the X8R specification (|( C T - C 25°C )/ C 25°C ×100%| ≤ 15%, T ∈ [-55°C, 150°C]), the dielectric constant at room temperature is 2802, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.02. This study reveals the Ca 2+ induced multi-ion synergistic regulation mechanism, which provides an experimental basis for the development of high stability and low loss lead-free MLCC dielectric materials that meet the X8R standard.
