The hydrotalcite (HT) film is a promising bioactive coating for magnesium alloys. In the present study, we investigate the corrosion behavior of HT film in the simulated body fluid (SBF), and compare with which in NaCl solution. The HT film can provide a very plummy initial protection to the AZ31 alloy in SBF. The corrosion behavior of the HT film in the two solutions is quite different. When in 0.1 mol·L−1 NaCl solution, the film is dissolved gradually, and filiform corrosion is predominant after 3 days immersion. While in Hank’s solution, the thickness and composition of the film are changed. A corrosion products layer mainly consisted of Mg/Ca–PO43−/HPO42−, and minor of CaCO3 is deposited on the top of HT film, which enhances the barrier effect of the HT film. As a result, except for local pit corrosion at several active places, most of the area of the coated sample still remains integral even after immersion for 15 days. It is demonstrated that the HT film has better corrosion protection effect in SBF than in NaCl solution.

Cu(OH)2 nanomaterials are widely investigated
for non-enzymatic
glucose sensors due to their low-cost and excellent performance. Cu(OH)2 nanomaterials usually grow on substrates to form sensor electrodes.
Reported works mainly focus on structure adjusting of the Cu(OH)2 nanostructures, while the optimization of substrates is still
lacking. In the present work, directional porous Cu (DPC) was applied
as the substrate for the growth of Cu(OH)2 nanograss (NG),
and hierarchical structures of Cu(OH)2@DPC were prepared
by alkaline oxidation. The morphology and microstructure evolution
of the prepared hierarchical structures was investigated, and the
non-enzymatic glucose sensing performance was evaluated. Cu(OH)2@DPC exhibits enhanced comprehensive non-enzymatic glucose
sensing performance compared to the reported ones, which may benefit
from both the effective adsorption of the Cu(OH)2 NG with
a relatively high surface area and the high solute exchange of the
DPC by a channel effect. This work provides new insights into the
further improvement of the non-enzymatic glucose sensing performance
of Cu(OH)2 nanostructures by optimizing the substrate structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
