Nano TiO2and S, N co-doped TiO2composite coatings with WO3transitional layer were deposited on AZ31 magnesium alloy by sol-gel method. The morphologies, structure, mechanical properties, compositional depth profiles and anti-corrosion performance of the as prepared coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, nanoscratch test, glowing discharge optical emission spectrometry and electrochemical method, respectively. The results show that the nano TiO2coatings are continuous, uniform and dense with thickness ca.3-5μm, elements in the interface diffuse mutually during heat treatment; S-N co-doped TiO2enhances the interface adhesion, WO3transitional layer increases the total coating thickness and strengthens the adhesion to substrate with respect to unitary TiO2coating; S, N co-doped TiO2acts as visible light photocatalyst that can provide permanent cathodic protection for AZ31 magnesium using WO3as electron restoring material.

The purpose of this study was to improve the cellular compatibility and corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy and to prepare a biodegradable medical material. An aminated hydroxyethyl cellulose (AHEC) coating was successfully prepared on the surface of a micro-arc oxide +AZ31 magnesium alloy by sol–gel spinning. The pores of the micro-arc oxide coating were sealed. A polarization potential test analysis showed that compared to the single micro-arc oxidation coating, the coating after sealing with AHEC significantly improved the corrosion resistance of the AZ31 magnesium alloy and reduced its degradation rate in simulated body fluid (SBF). The CCK-8 method and cell morphology experiments showed that the AHEC + MAO coating prepared on the AZ31 magnesium alloy had good cytocompatibility and bioactivity.

Pristine TiO2 and x% Ru/TiO2 catalysts with different wt.% of Ru (x%= 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3%) were synthesized using sol–gel and simple impregnation methods. Different characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Thermogravimetry/Differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) were used to study the physicochemical and morphological properties. The XRD patterns of the as-prepared pristine TiO2 catalyst showed high crystalline nature. The HR-TEM images revealed that the Ru nanoparticles (NPs) were evenly dispersed on the TiO2 surface. The prepared catalysts were evaluated for their catalytic activity towards the liquid phase hydrogenation of ethyl levulinate under mild reaction conditions (ambient H2 pressure). Among the various catalysts, 2.5% Ru/TiO2 catalyst showed the maximum catalytic activity of 79% ethyl levulinate (EL) conversion with 82% selectivity of γ-valerolactone (GVL). The recyclability test revealed that the most active 2.5% Ru/TiO2 also showed the highest stability of the catalyst under optimized experimental conditions.

The composite coatings were obtained on a magnesium alloy by micro-arc oxidation and sol-gel technique. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of MAO coating and composite coatings in a simulated seawater solution. The results show that corrosion behavior of the MAO coating and composite coatings are different at different immersion times. Corrosion protection of the MAO coating gradually weaken with the extension of soaking time, but corrosion protection of the composite coatings become stronger first and then weaken.
