Surface treatments of Ti-6Al-4V alloys are of utmost importance for biomedical applications since they allow for tribological gain. Here, Ti-6Al-4V disks have been PBII nitrided at either 500, 600, 700 and 800 °C. A set of techniques (XRD, SEM-EDS, EBSD and GDOES) was used to characterize the surface microstructural and chemical changes. Nanoindentation was used to assess the induced changes in terms of mechanical properties. Two types of nitrided domains are revealed. Starting from the surface, a nitride bilayer composed of δ-TiN/ϵ-Ti2N with enhanced surface resistance is supported by an α-Ti(N) solid solution formed at depth. Hardness values peak at 12-14 GPa at the surface, which is almost twice as large as the bulk value (about 7 GPa). For the moderate temperatures used here, a deep (10-15 µm) and strong hardness (14 GPa) enhancement together with a smooth gradient can be achieved.

Hybrid graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) with layer triple hydroxide (LTH) nanocomposite synthesized using the hydrothermal procedure has been investigated as a novel adsorbent g-CN@NiCoFe-LTH in the dispersive solid phase microextraction (DSp-ME) for Pb(II) determination in the food and water samples. The nanocomposite was characterized using FTIR, SEM, SEM-EDX, and XRD techniques. Several analytical parameters were adjusted, including pH, adsorbent quantity, adsorption and elution time, sample and eluent volume, and elution solvent concentration, and found as 8.

Plasma nitriding is one of the surface modifications that show more effectiveness than other methods. In this study, the plasma-based ion implantation (PBII) technique was performed on the surface of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V, Ti64) using a mixture of nitrogen (N) and argon (Ar), resulting in a plasma-nitrided surface (TiN-Ti64). The surface composition of the TiN-Ti64 was verified through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

In this study, novel mesoporous magnetic g-CN/FeO/UiO-66-COOH was synthesized by combining the acid-functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF) of UiO-66-COOH a facile novel solvothermal method with magnetic graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN/FeO) sheets to enhance Pb(ii) adsorption in water. The study investigated various influential adsorption parameters, including pH, dosage, contact time, ion concentration, and temperature.

Constructing catalysts with simple structures, uniform effective sites, and excellent performance is crucial for understanding the reaction mechanism of target pollutants. Herein, the single-atom catalyst of Mn-intercalated graphitic carbon nitride (Mn/g-CN) was prepared. It was found that the intercalated Mn atoms acted as strong electron donors to effectively tune the electronic structure distribution of the in-situ N atoms, providing a large number of negative potential atomic-scale sites for catalytic reactions.
