Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used in bone surgery by virtue of their excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility; however, complications such as loosening and sinking have been reported post-implantation. Herein we deposited a copper-cobalt (Cu-Co) co-doped titanium dioxide (TUO) coating on the surface of Ti implants by microarc oxidation. The osteogenic and antimicrobial properties of the coating were evaluated by experiments, and we also assessed -catenin expression levels on different sample surfaces. Our results revealed that the coating promoted the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of MG63 osteoblasts, and TUO coating promoted -catenin expression; moreover, the proliferation of was inhibited. To summarize, we report that Cu-Co co-doping can enhance the osteogenic and antibacterial activities of orthopedic Ti implants, leading to potentially improved clinical performance.

NaFe(PO)PO (NFPP) has been regarded as the promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, the practical applications of NFPP are hindered by its high-volume changes, poor intrinsic electron conductivity and sluggish Na+ ions diffusion kinetics. Herein, a spray-drying and solid-state reaction method have been utilized to fabricate the spherical trace amount Mg/Cu co-doped NaFe(PO)PO (NFMCPP).

Porous architecture of titanium implants offers significant advantages in promoting osseointegration and mitigating the "stress shielding" effect. However, challenges remain in enhancing vascularization and preventing infection, especially given the complexities of modifying the intricate surface structure of porous titanium (PT). This study introduces a novel surface modification technique of PT using anti-gravity perfusion electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique to fabricate antibacterial coatings containing silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) co-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Ag-Cu@MSN) and chitosan binder on the surface of PT.

Electrochemical NO reduction (NORR) is a sustainable technology for ammonia synthesis. The development of a simple, fast, and economical catalytic electrode preparation technique is crucial for large-scale ammonia synthesis. Herein, we propose a plate-to-plate DBD plasma strategy to synthesize the catalytic electrodes M-N/CP (M = Cu, Co, Ni, CuCo, and CuNi), achieving in suit codoping of N and bimetals on carbon paper (CP) at room temperature within 3 h.

The utilization of visible light in photocatalytic semiconductors is restricted by the presence of a wide energy bandgap and fast electron-hole pair recombination. This study aims to address this limitation by synthesizing nitrogen- and cation-doped CsTiO at varying temperatures and subsequently analyzing the photocatalytic performance and mechanism. The optical experimental findings indicate that the co-doping of N/M (where M represents Zn, Co, or Cu) can considerably decrease the energy bandgap of CsTiO by regulating the energy band position and effectively suppressing the recombination of photogenerated carriers.
