A titanium mesh scaffold composite filled with Ti/α-TCP particles was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructures and interfacial reactions of the composites were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The compressive strength and elastic modulus were also measured. In vitro bioactivity and biocompatibility was evaluated by using simulated body fluid and cells culture, respectively. After high temperature sintering, Ti oxides, TiP and CaTiO were formed. The formation of Ti oxides and TiP were resulted from the diffusion of O and P elements from α-TCP to Ti. CaTiO was the reaction product of Ti and α-TCP. The composite of 70Ti/α-TCP incorporated with Ti mesh showed a high compressive strength of 589MPa and a low compressive modulus of 30GPa. The bioactivity test showed the formation of a thick apatite layer on the composite and well-spread cells attachment. A good combination of mechanical properties and bioactivity indicated a high potential application of Ti/α-TCP/Ti-mesh composite for orthopedic implants.

Biocompatible polymers such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), despite fulfilling biomedical aspects, lack the mechanical strength needed for hard-tissue implant applications. This gap can be closed by using composites with metallic reinforcements, as their adaptable mechanical properties can overcome this problem. Keeping this in mind, novel Ti-mesh-reinforced PMMA composites were developed.

A series of interlaced 'tripe-shaped' nanoflake catalysts made of CuMnOwereprepared on Ti mesh substrate through the associated methods of plasma electrolyte oxidation and hydrothermal technique. The surface morphology, elemental distribution and chemical state, phase composition and microstructure of CuMnOnanostructures prepared under different conditions were systemically investigated. To evaluate the catalytic activity, the CO oxidation as a probe reaction was used, and the results showed that 12h-Cu1Mn2-300 (hydrothermal reaction at 150 °C for 12 h, Cu/Mn = 1/2 in initial precursor, heat treatment temperature at 300 °C) exhibited the best CO oxidation capability with= 150 °C owe to the formation of uniform CuMnOnanosheet layersgrown on flexible Ti mesh and the synergistic effect of Cu and Mn species in spinel CuMnO, which makes it more active towards CO oxidation than pure copper/manganese oxides.

Highly dispersed Pt, such as Pt single atoms and atomic clusters, has great potential in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to the high atomic efficiency and unique electronic configuration. Rationally regrating the electronic structure of Pt catalysts is desirable for promoting the HER performance. Herein, a 3D self-supported monolithic electrode consisting of Pt single atoms (Pt ) and Pt atomic clusters (Pt ) anchored on sulfur-doped titanium nitride nanotubes (S-TiN NTs) encapsulated in polyaniline (PANI) on Ti mesh (PANI@Pt/S-TiN NTs/Ti) via a facile electrochemical strategy for efficient HER is designed and synthesized.

Aqueous Zn metal batteries (AZMBs) have been considered as a promising alternative to the existing Li-ion batteries. Nevertheless, the large-scale application of the AZMBs is restricted by the dendrite formation and side reactions within the Zn metal anodes (ZMAs) during cycling. Herein, an atomically dispersed Cu in leaf-like Zn-coordinated zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-L) nanoflakes on Ti mesh (CuZIF-L@TM) as ZMA host is developed.
