Because of stress shielding effects, traditional titanium (Ti) alloy scaffolds have a high elastic modulus, which might promote looseness and bone disintegration surrounding the implant, increasing the likelihood of a second surgery. In contrast, 3D-printed porous Ti alloy scaffolds can reduce the scaffold weight while enhancing biocompatibility. Further, these scaffolds’ porous nature allows bone tissue ingrowth as well as strong pore connectivity, which can improve nutrient absorption. Nevertheless, bare Ti alloy implants may fail because of inadequate bone integration; hence, adding a coating on the implant surface is an effective technique for improving implant stability. In this study, a composite coating comprising hydroxyapatite (HAP), chitosan (CS), tannic acid (TA) and copper ions (Cu 2+ ) (Cu 2+ /TA/HAP composite coating) was prepared on the surface of 3D printed porous Ti alloy scaffolds using electrophoretic deposition. Using the standard plate count method, Live/Dead bacteria staining assay, FITC Phalloidin and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining assay, and live/dead staining of cells we determined that the composite coating has better antibacterial properties and cytocompatibility as well as lower cytotoxicity. The Alkaline Phosphatase assay revealed that the coating results showed good osteogenesis potential. Overall, the composite coatings produced in this investigation give new potential for the application of Ti alloys in clinics.

The hydrophilic benzimidazole@ZIF-8@tannic acid (ZBT) nanoparticles and the pH-responsive modified epoxy (EP) coatings based on ZBT were prepared innovatively. The result exhibited that the ZBT had excellent compatibility with the EP coatings, and the addition of ZBT improved the protective properties of the EP coatings, which were attributed to the formation of the Zn(OH) 2 deposition film, the inhibitor adsorption film and the ferric tannate film on the steel substrate. Meanwhile, the original adhesion and wet adhesion strengths of the ZBT/EP coatings were both enhanced, which was mainly attributed to the enhanced interaction between the ZBT/EP coatings and the carbon steel, and the crosslinking density and the degree of curing of the coatings were also improved. After 173 days of immersion, the impedance value of the ZBT coatings remained at 7.89 × 10 7 Ω·cm 2 , while the EP coatings decreased to 3.94 × 10 3 Ω·cm 2 . The wet adhesion loss of EP and ZBT/EP coatings was 63.6 % and 27.1 %, respectively. In the end, the protective mechanism of the ZBT/EP coatings was first proposed.

The contradiction between the strength and ductility of metallic materials is a major scientific problem that has been researched for a long time. Dual-phase equiatomic and non-equiatomic Ti-Zr-Nb-Ta high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with super-high strength and excellent ductility have been successfully developed via mechanical alloying (MA) combined with spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology. This is adjusted by altering the atomic ratios of the different phases. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed to confirm the dual-phase microstructure. After the SPS process, the average grain size of the aforementioned equiatomic Ti 25 Zr 25 Nb 25 Ta 25 HEAs (134 ± 50 nm) evaluated by electron back-scattering diffraction (EBSD) is smaller than that of the Ti-Zr-Nb-Ta HEAs (150 µm), which were fabricated using arc melting. According to the Hall-Petch formula, the grain boundary strengthening contribution in the Ti-Zr-Nb-Ta system is 33-fold higher than those fabricated using the arc-melting process. When the alloy phase comprises the equivalent dual-phase, equiatomic Ti 25 Zr 25 Nb 25 Ta 25 HEAs have good comprehensive performance compared to non-equiatomic Ti-Zr-Nb-Ta HEAs prepared using the same process. The yield strength of equiatomic Ti 25 Zr 25 Nb 25 Ta 25 HEAs (2212 ± 38 MPa) is two-fold higher than that of Ti-Zr-Nb-Ta HEAs (1100 ± 90 MPa) fabricated via arc melting. This can be attributed to the ultra-fine grain size. Notably, the equiatomic Ti 25 Zr 25 Nb 25 Ta 25 HEAs possess approximately the same biocompatibility as commercial pure Ti (CP-Ti), indicating that the equiatomic Ti 25 Zr 25 Nb 25 Ta 25 HEAs are provided with a possibility as an advanced biomaterial for the applications of the medical field.

In previous works, it was found hard to synthesize “phase pure” ζ-Ta 4 C 3-z at relatively low temperatures even by prolonged heating, though ζ-Ta 4 C 3-z was believed stable till decomposition at ~2130°C. When the samples were subjected to TEM , vast richness of locally disordered structures in close relation with stacking of the close-pacted Ta-atom planes was observed. Although kinetic factors including diffusion of C atoms/vacancies and re-stacking of the Ta-atom planes explain the densely disordered structures, the richness of local disorders is a scenario that shows cohabitant of the cubic, rhombohedral, and hexagonal structures in a single grain, i.e. formation of a “hybrid grain” consisted of the three symmetries, indicating a transitional or intermediate stage before complete formation of the final phase of rhombohedral ζ-Ta 4 C 3-z . This time tantalum carbide ceramics TaC x with C:Ta atomic ratios x = 0.66 and 0.7 were prepared by reaction hot pressing of TaC and Ta powder mixtures. 5–30 mol% Cu/Ag additives and heat treatments were used to reproduce “hybrid grains” to facilitate further TEM and HRTEM observations on the disordered hybrid grains to argue for the transitional/intermediate stage. The cohabitant cubic, rhombohedral, and hexagonal structures in single grains may also help explain the difficulty in identification of the various phases by XRD in the transitional/intermediate stage of ζ-Ta 4 C 3-z reaction. Microstructural evolution and fracture toughness of the composites were also investigated.

Addition of Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets into epoxy matrix is crucial for improving the mechanical and anti-corrosion properties, depending on their unique structures and properties. However, randomly-arranged Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets failed to meet higher corrosion protection requirements especially under alternating hydrostatic pressure (AHP) environment. Herein, inspired by the unique structure of mille crepe cake, the tannic acid (TA)-functionalized Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets were distributed parallelly in the epoxy matrix using a simple blade-coating method to form layer-by-layer (LBL) coating. Particularly, epoxy matrix incorporated with TA@Ti 3 C 2 T x exhibited a nearly perfect internal parallel arrangement structure due to shear force during blade-coating, excellent compatibility, and higher binding force. As being immersed 60 days at 1 atm and 240 h at 20 MPa AHP in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the worst frequency impedance values was enhanced by 1–3 orders of magnitude for the parallel alignment in comparison to the randomly-arranged TA@Ti 3 C 2 T x composite coating. The results were mainly due to the fact that parallelly-arranged TA@Ti 3 C 2 T x could maximize tortuosity and got the utmost out of the barrier properties of composite coating. Moreover, electrochemical characterization of defects and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations results proved that TA could react with Q235 steel in three ways to form ferric-tannates, which could further prevent the corrosion of steel. Prospectively, the parallelly alignment of TA@Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets in epoxy would greatly increase the corrosion resistance of composite coating, especially suitable for AHP environment.

A modified solution method was applied to synthesize cubic garnet solid-state electrolyte Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 (LLZO) and Li 6.45 Ca 0.05 La 2.95 Ta 0.6 Zr 1.4 O 12 (LCLTZO). The synergetic doping of Ca and Ta is found to induce the formation of cubic LCLZTO with high ionic conductivity of 4.03 × 10 −4 S cm −1 while LLZO without substitution exhibits tetragonal phase with low conductivity. A Li-S cell with sulfur cathode and as-prepared LCLTZO solid electrolyte “separator” was conducted to deliver large initial discharge capacity of 1090 mAh g −1 with high initial Coulombic efficiency up to 92%. Cell with LCLTZO also exhibited better cycling performance at 0.2 C and extremely high Coulombic efficiency (close to 100%) than the cell without solid electrolyte. Better rate performance was also achieved at lower rate (0.2 C, 0.5 C and 1 C) by cell with LCLTZO although it lost advantages at higher rate of 2 C and 5 C due to the limitation of ionic conductivity of LCLTZO. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) provided direct evidence that LCLTZO solid electrolyte greatly suppressed the shuttle effect generated by polysulfides . The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was applied to discuss the difference between cells with and without LCLTZO during the discharge process. Charge transfer reaction referred to soluble polysulfides was found to be slower in cell with LCLTZO than that in cell without solid electrolyte.

Ta-doped TiO2/C nanofibers are synthesized by an electrospinning method. First-principles calculations reveal that the Ta dopant can lower the Li/K diffusion barrier, which is beneficial for improving the rate capability. According to the electronic structure analysis, the dopant can obviously shift the conduction band of TiO2 downward, resulting in significantly improved electronic conductivity. Ta doping causes phase transformation from anatase to rutile, and increases the specific surface area. The well-designed rutile Ta-doped TiO2/C nanofibers show outstanding electrochemical properties in both Li-metal half cells and K-metal half cells, which are much better than those of pristine anatase TiO2/C nanofibers. At 2 A g−1, 5% rutile Ta-doped TiO2/C nanofibers could deliver high reversible specific capacities of 399 mA h g−1 in Li-ion batteries after 1000 cycles whereas deliver 148 mA h g−1 in K-ion batteries after 800 cycles. When assembled, the full cells with 5% rutile Ta-doped TiO2/C nanofibers as the anode and commercial LiFePO4/perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride as the cathode show excellent cycling performance and can light up more than 18 LEDs. These results demonstrate that Ta-doped TiO2/C nanofibers are a promising anode material for Li/K ion batteries.

In order to elucidate the synergistic mechanism of boride and carbide phase in ultrahigh-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) under ablation condition, in this work, the ablation behaviour of (Hf, Ta)B 2 -(Hf, Ta)C-SiC ceramics with different (Hf, Ta)B 2 to (Hf, Ta)C molar ratios was systematically investigated by oxygen-acetylene test under a heat flux of 3.2 MW/m 2 . It was found that the oxides generated from (Hf, Ta)B 2 and (Hf, Ta)C enhanced the matching capacity of oxides with different melting points, being formed a dense ablation layer. When the molar ratio of (Hf, Ta)B 2 to (Hf, Ta)C was 2:1, the ceramic achieved a near-zero ablation rate (0.042 μm/s), which was 1.62 times lower than that of (Hf, Ta)C-SiC ceramics. The mechanism for the enhanced ablation resistance was attributed to the Hf 6 Ta 2 O 17 generated during the ablation reaction, which reduced the viscosity of the ablation products and infiltrated into the pores of ceramics. The formation of such ablation layer could inhibit the impregnation of oxygen and the depletion of easily volatile oxides, including SiO 2 and B 2 O 3 , being formed a multi-element composite ablation layer with self-healing ability, which was helpful for the protection of the substrate from continuous oxidation damage.

Nowadays, some amorphous and microcrystalline solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) with dual anions have attained high ionic conductivity and good compatibility with electrodes in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs). In this work, crystalline SSEs of seriesA(Li1+xTaO1+xCl4−x, −0.70 ≤x≤ 0.50) andB(LiTaO2+yCl2−2y, −1.22 ≤y≤ 0), having great application potential well over ambient temperatures, were prepared at 260–460 °C for 2–10 h using Li2O, TaCl5, and LiTaO3as the raw materials. The three-phase coexisting samples attained high σ values ranging from 5.20 to 7.35 mS cm−1, which are among the reported high values of amorphous co-essential SSEs and other alloplasmatic crystalline ones. It is attributed to the synergistic effect of the polyaniontrans-[O2Cl4] andcis-[O4Cl2] octahedra framework.

Flame-retardant properties are crucial for polylactic acid (PLA) used in packaging, electrical, and agricultural applications. However, PLA is susceptible to degradation from ultraviolet (UV) light, limiting its longevity. This necessitates the development of PLA composites with improved flame-retardant and UV-resistant properties. Here, we synthesized a multifunctional core–shell spherical flame-retardant TA@HPDT, employing tannic acid (TA) for its effective free radical trapping capability. TA@HPDT was incorporated into PLA to enhance fire safety and UV resistance. The PLA-2 % TA@HPDT composite exhibited exceptional flame-retardant efficiency, achieving a UL-94 V-0 rating and a limiting oxygen index of 25.6. Furthermore, the addition of TA@HPDT reduced the peak heat release rate and total heat release by 16.8 % and 16.7 %, respectively. After 100 h of UV aging, the PLA composite retained 93.3 % of its mass, indicating significantly improved UV resistance. This study demonstrates a strategic approach to developing PLA composites that enhance fire performance and extend service life.

MAX phase ceramics, as a family of ternary layered ceramics, have received a lot of attention in the past decade due to their potential as precursors for two-dimensional transition metal carbides. However, due to complex multi-component metallurgical reactions, multicomponent MAX phase ceramics have always faced difficulties in purification and homogenization. This paper identifies a new strategy for synthesizing multicomponent MAX phase ceramics that can eliminate these synthesis difficulties. This path utilizes low-temperature (below 1000°C) stable Ti 2 AlC and carbide powder as initial materials to simplify complex multi-component reactions into a one-step reaction, successfully achieving high purity and precise doping ratio. As an example, four novel doped MAX phase ceramics, Ti 2 MAlC 2 (M = Nb, Ta, W) and Ti 2 HEAlC 2 (HE = 1/7Ti, 1/7V, 1/7Zr, 1/7Nb, 1/7Hf, 1/7Ta, 1/7 W) were successfully synthesized using this method. This dynamic-based design, on one hand, simplifies the reaction mechanism to make purification easier, and on the other hand, the concentrated release of entropy during the reaction process promotes phase transition and related element homogenization.

Aiming at the high sintering temperature and densification difficulty in ultrahigh-temperature ceramics, the low-temperature facial and fast preparation of ultrahigh-temperature multi-phases (Hf, Ta)B 2 -(Hf, Ta)C-SiC solid solution ceramics was realized using in-situ reaction combined with hot pressing, where the HfSi 2 , TaSi 2 , B 4 C and C were used as raw materials. The effect of Hf/Ta molar ratio on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of ultrahigh-temperature multi-phases ceramics was investigated. The results found that the in-situ reaction and the formation of solid solution phase could promote the densification process. On the other hand, the addition of Ta element induced the formation of high aspect ratio grains with an interlock structure within the ceramic matrix and significantly improved the mechanical properties. When the Hf/Ta molar ratio was 7/3, the multi-phases ceramics exhibited the best mechanical properties, with a hardness of 25.59 GPa, a flexural strength of 556.61 MPa, and a fracture toughness of 5.13 MPa·m 1/2 . The enhanced mechanical properties were attributed to the synergistic effect of multiple strengthening and toughening mechanism, including grain bridging, crack bifurcation and grain pullout induced by high aspect ratio (Hf, Ta)B 2 grains.
