The extreme survivability of infectious microorganisms on various surfaces prompts for the risk of disease transmissions, posing a perilous concern for global health. Thus, the treatment of these pathogenic microorganisms using the nanomaterials functionalized with antimicrobial coatings reaps relevant scope in the ongoing trend of research. Driven by their admirable biocompatibility, cost-effectiveness, and minimal toxicity, ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) based antimicrobial hybrid coatings have emerged as a robust material to prevent the growth of infectious microorganisms on various surfaces, which in turn boosted their applications in the area of biomedical sciences. In this context, the current review focuses on the synthesis of ZnO-NPs based hybrid coatings using different polymers and inorganic materials for effective utilization in biomedical domains including dentistry, orthopedics, implantable medical devices and wound healing. The synergistic effect of ZnO-NPs hybrids with remarkable antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral property has been discussed. Finally, we highlight the future potential of ZnO-NPs based antimicrobial hybrid coatings for potential clinical translation.

The rise of wearable electronics demands flexible energy storage solutions like flexible fiber energy storage devices (FESDs), known for their flexibility and portability. However, it remains difficult for existing fabrication methods (typically, finite-coating, thermal-drawing, and solution-extrusion) to simultaneously achieve desirable electrochemical performances and fast production of FESDs. Here, a new scalable coating-extrusion method is developed, utilizing a novel extruded spinneret with tapered apertures to create dual pressure zones.

To significantly improve the tribological performance of epoxy resin (EP), a novel h-BN/MoS composite was successfully synthesized using spherical MoS particles with lamellar self-assembly generated through the calcination method, followed by utilizing the "bridging effect" of a silane coupling agent to achieve a uniform and vertically oriented decoration of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets on the MoS surface. The chemical composition and microstructure of the h-BN/MoS composite were systematically investigated. Furthermore, the enhancement effect of composites with various contents on the frictional properties of epoxy coatings was studied, and the mechanism was elucidated.

The growth of ultrathin layers of oxides by atomic layer deposition (ALD) is well documented for oxide substrates such as SiO, BiO, AlO, in which oxygen is the only negatively charged atom. In contrast, the knowledge regarding ALD growth on substrates containing other negatively charged atoms, such as halogens, is quite limited. The commonly used bismuth oxyhalide (BiOX) family of materials are characterised by a low density of surface hydroxyls, required for the initiation of thermal ALD growth of oxides, thus hampering the ability to grow ultrathin layers of oxides on their surface.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are expected to supersede existing lithium-ion batteries due to the high theoretical energy density of sulfur cathodes (positive electrodes). Unfortunately, inefficient redox reactions and the "shuttle effect" hinder their commercial development. Assembling high-performance nanostructured sulfur host materials into a sulfur cathode presents a viable solution.

In recent years, waterborne epoxy resin (WE) has garnered attention due to its lower environmental pollution compared to solvent-based coatings. However, their poor barrier properties severely limit their practical applications. In order to enhance the corrosion resistance of water-based epoxy resin coating, a highly efficient strategy of combining the barrier effect of lamellar structured zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP) and the inhibitor effect of special carbon dots by the intercalation method was proposed in this work.
