Design of a new nanocomposite based on Keggin-type [ZnWO] anionic cluster anchored on NiZnO ceramics as a promising material towards the electrocatalytic hydrogen storage.

Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to developing electrode materials with high capacity to address the increasing complexities arising from the energy crisis. Herein, a new nanocomposite was synthesized via the sol-gel method by immobilizing KZnWO within the surface of NiZnO. ZnWO@NiZnO was characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, and TGA-DTG methods.

Melt-electrospun polycaprolactone strontium-substituted bioactive glass scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a resorbable polymer used extensively in bone tissue engineering owing to good structural properties and processability. Strontium-substituted bioactive glass (SrBG) has the ability to promote osteogenesis and may be incorporated into scaffolds intended for bone repair. Here, we describe for the first time, the development of a PCL-SrBG composite scaffold incorporating 10% (weight) of SrBG particles into PCL bulk, produced by the technique of melt electrospinning.
