In situ tellurization strategy for crafting nickel ditelluride/cobalt ditelluride hierarchical nanostructures: A leap forward in hybrid supercapacitor electrode materials.

Advancements in renewable energy conversion can be significantly propelled by optimizing the performance of transition-metal-based electrodes. In this study, we introduce an innovative, in situ tellurization strategy to synthesize novel, flower-like hierarchical structures of nickel ditelluride/cobalt ditelluride (NiTe/CoTe) on a nickel foam substrate (labeled as NF/FNCT), making them promising candidates for electrodes in hybrid supercapacitors. Initially, we utilized a hydrothermal method to create flower-like NiCo-layered double hydroxide (NiCo-LDH) nanoarrays on nickel foam (NF/FNCLDH).

Tailoring the biological response of zirconium implants using zirconia bioceramic coatings: A systematic review.

Background: The poor biological performance of zirconium implants in the human body resulting from their bio-inertness and vulnerability to corrosion and bacterial activity reflects the need for further studies on substitution or performing the surface modification. The suggestion of employing zirconia (ZrO) bioceramic coatings for surface modification seems beneficial.

Objectives: This systematic review aims to identify and summarize existing documents reporting the biological responses for ZrO coatings produced by the PEO process on zirconium implants.
