Progress in bioactive surface coatings on biodegradable Mg alloys: A critical review towards clinical translation.

Mg and its alloys evince strong candidature for biodegradable bone implants, cardiovascular stents, and wound closing devices. However, their rapid degradation rate causes premature implant failure, constraining clinical applications. Bio-functional surface coatings have emerged as the most competent strategy to fulfill the diverse clinical requirements, besides yielding effective corrosion resistance.

Tuning the surface using palladium based metallosurfactant for hydrogen evolution reaction.

Synthesis of a novel electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is highly demanding for renewable energy production. This research reports the design and development of novel palladium based metallosurfactant (PdCPC(I)) that belongs to the unique class of inorganic-organic hybrid with striking structural features that are explored for the first time in the HER. The formation of the micelle, molecular orientation and surface characteristics of the metallosurfactant are calculated by conductivity and contact angle measurements.

Investigating affordable cobalt based metallosurfactant as an efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction.

The implementation of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an essential requirement of a stable electrocatalyst that competes for the performance of noble metals (Pt, Pd), especially in acidic conditions. This research reports the design and development of affordable cobalt (Co) based metallosurfactant (CoCPC(I)) which performs under acidic medium (0.5 N HSO) for HER.
