This paper deals with the surface modification of titanium by sodium-ion implantation and with the effect of this modification on structure, corrosion resistance, bioactivity and cytocompatibility. The Na ions were implanted with doses of 1 x 10(17) and 4 x 10(17) ions/cm(2) at an energy of 25 keV. The chemical composition of the surface layers formed during the implantation was examined by secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and their microstructure--by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The corrosion resistance was determined by electrochemical methods in a simulated body fluid (SBF) at a temperature of 37 degrees C, after exposure in SBF for various times. The surfaces of the samples were examined by optical microscopy, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), and by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Biocompatibility of the modified surface was evaluated in vitro in a culture of the MG-63 cell line and human osteoblast cells. The TEM results indicate that the surface layers formed during the implantation of Na-ions are amorphous. The results of the electrochemical examinations obtained for the Na-implanted titanium samples indicate that the implantation increases corrosion resistance. Sodium-ion implantation improves bioactivity and does not reduce biocompatibility.

Sodium metal anodes (SMA), featuring high energy content, low electrochemical potential and easy availability, are a compelling option for sustainable energy storage. However, notorious sodium dendrite and unstable solid-electrolyte interface (SEI) have largely retarded their widespread implantation. Herein, porous amorphous carbon nanofiber embedded with Bi nanoparticles in nanopores (Bi@NC) was rationally designed as a 3D host for SMA.

Constructing a homogenous and inorganic-rich solid electrolyte interface (SEI) can efficiently improve the overall sodium-storage performance of hard carbon (HC) anodes. However, the thick and heterogenous SEI derived from conventional ester electrolytes fails to meet the above requirements. Herein, an innovative interfacial catalysis mechanism is proposed to design a favorable SEI in ester electrolytes by reconstructing the surface functionality of HC, of which abundant CO (carbonyl) bonds are accurately and homogenously implanted.
