The currently employed inorganic conversion coatings are unattractive and their use is
restricted due to toxicity, non-biodegradability and high cost. Conversion coatings based on …

The uneven electrodeposition and inferior corrosion resistance are the fundamental
obstacles to achieve stable Zn metal anodes. The features of the electrode surface/interface …

An alendronate (AL)-embedded zinc phosphate (ZnP) coating was synthesized on
biodegradable Zn to control its corrosion and long-term degradation while maintaining its …

The treatment of industrial wastewater containing Cr (VI)–organic compounds is a long-term
concern in the field of environment. In order to realize the high-efficient reduction of Cr (VI) …

The circularity represents the key strategy of the modern economy, where the waste
becomes a raw material, ready to be reprocessed for a second life. In this context, the main …

Zinc (Zn) alloys are promising alternatives to magnesium (Mg)-and iron (Fe)-based alloys
because of their moderate corrosion rate and superior biocompatibility. To reduce the mass …

Zamak are zinc-aluminum alloys that, when processed by squeeze casting (injection),
presents porosity defects on its surface, compromising its corrosion resistance. Thus, with …

Thin organic films on metal surfaces can be obtained by adsorption of volatile (vaporphase)
inhibitors (VCI), which, despite the extremely small thickness, provide high corrosion …

New biomaterials for bone healing applications are crucial for our ageing populations. Three-
dimensional (3D) Zn and ZnCu architectures on stainless steel were reinvented through …

In order to grow a novel kind of antibacterial Au containing bioactive film with good bio
corrosion resistance capability for galvanised steel (GS) we targeted a greener approach …
