Abstract
In the realm of nanomaterial research, copper telluride and cobalt telluride have individually attracted considerable attention owing to their unique properties and potential applications. However, there exists a notable gap in the literature when it comes to the exploration of composite materials derived from these elements. From this point of view, a ternary CuCoTe nanocomposite was prepared using the microwave synthesis method. Various characterizations were performed by varying the power and irradiation time. X-Ray diffraction study and transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the material with Cu2Te and CoTe hexagonal phases. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images reveal nanoparticle-like morphology, which remains unchanged even when the time of irradiation increases. In addition, the nanoparticle size of the material lies in the range of 30-39 nm. The differential scanning calorimetry inferred various exothermic and endothermic peaks. Meanwhile, the optical analysis from the UV-visible study shows the red-shifted absorbance, enabling the material for semiconductor and photovoltaic devices. Furthermore, the optical bandgap of the material varies in the range from 2.45 to 3.61 eV, which reveals the tuneable bandgap desiring the material for various optoelectronic applications. The frequency-temperature-dependent dielectric study gives results for dielectric parameters, conductivity, and impedance behaviour. The material's dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and AC conductivity enhance with the increase in temperature. This behaviour of the material broadens the area of applicability in energy storage devices.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:640. [PMID: 38591446 PMCID: PMC10856152 DOI: 10.3390/ma17030640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
Recently, the favorable electrical properties of biomaterials have been acknowledged as crucial for various medical applications, including both bone healing and growth processes. This review will specifically concentrate on calcium phosphate (CaP)-based bioceramics, with a notable emphasis on hydroxyapatite (HA), among the diverse range of synthetic biomaterials. HA is currently the subject of extensive research in the medical field, particularly in dentistry and orthopedics. The existing literature encompasses numerous studies exploring the physical-chemical, mechanical, and biological properties of HA-based materials produced in various forms (i.e., powders, pellets, and/or thin films) using various physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques. In comparison, there is a relative scarcity of research on the electrical and dielectric properties of HA, which have been demonstrated to be essential for understanding dipole polarization and surface charge. It is noteworthy that these electrical and dielectric properties also offer valuable insights into the structure and functioning of biological tissues and cells. In this respect, electrical impedance studies on living tissues have been performed to assess the condition of cell membranes and estimate cell shape and size. The need to fill the gap and correlate the physical-chemical, mechanical, and biological characteristics with the electrical and dielectric properties could represent a step forward in providing new avenues for the development of the next-generation of high-performance HA-doped biomaterials for future top medical applications. Therefore, this review focuses on the electrical and dielectric properties of HA-based biomaterials, covering a range from powders and pellets to thin films, with a particular emphasis on the impact of the various dopants used. Therefore, it will be revealed that each dopant possesses unique properties capable of enhancing the overall characteristics of the produced structures. Considering that the electrical and dielectric properties of HA-based biomaterials have not been extensively explored thus far, the aim of this review is to compile and thoroughly discuss the latest research findings in the field, with special attention given to biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has attracted great interest in the last few years, as the frequency of tissue-damaging or degenerative diseases has increased exponentially. To obtain an ideal treatment solution, researchers have focused on the development of optimum biomaterials to be applied for the enhancement of bioactivity and the regeneration process, which are necessary to support the proper healing process of osseous tissues. In this regard, hydroxyapatite (HA) has been the most widely used material in the biomedical field due to its great biocompatibility and similarity with the native apatite from the human bone. However, HA still presents some deficiencies related to its mechanical properties, which are essential for HA to be applied in load-bearing applications. Bioactivity is another vital property of HA and is necessary to further improve regeneration and antibacterial activity. These drawbacks can be solved by doping the material with trace elements, adapting the properties of the material, and, finally, sustaining bone regeneration without the occurrence of implant failure. Considering these aspects, in this review, we have presented some general information about HA properties, synthesis methods, applications, and the necessity for the addition of doping ions into its structure. Also, we have presented their influence on the properties of HA, as well as the latest applications of doped materials in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Due to its excellent bone conductivity and drug adsorption as well as pH-responsive drug release property, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is widely used as a drug carrier in bone repair field. Here, we report for the first time a novel multi-functional polydopamine (PDA) coated Cu/F-codoped HAp (Cu/F-HAp-PDA) hollow microspheres. Both Cu2+ and F- were successfully doped into the lattice of HAp and uniformly distributed in the shell of hollow microspheres through a one-step hydrothermal synthesis. Then PDA was coated homogeneously on the outer layer of Cu/F-HAp hollow microspheres. Both Cu/F-HAp and Cu/F-HAp-PDA samples displayed high drug loading efficiency and pH responsive drug release behavior. Moreover, the obtained Cu/F-HAp-PDA hollow microspheres exhibited excellent photothermal conversion efficiency and photothermal stability. The molecular dynamics simulations showed that PDA and HAp can form mutual binding mainly through Ca-O bonding, while doxorubicin (DOX) is mainly bound to PDA molecules through hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interaction.

Gallium-Containing Hydroxyapatite as a Promising Material for Photocatalytic Performance. MINERALS 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/min11121347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The development of photocatalystsor their modification to obtain new photocatalytic performances for the removal of contaminants is a challenge. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), is an inorganic component with a high superficial area and low toxicity and the presence of metal in its structure can be an interesting strategy for the photocatalytic approach. This work aimed to synthesize gallium-containing HAp (Ga-HAp) as a promising material for photocatalytic performance. The synthesis was performed by the suspension–precipitation method. The material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Morphological analysis employed field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and the elemental analysis by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). To evaluate the photocatalytic activity, methylene blue (MB) dye was used as a pollutant model under UV light for 120 min. The influence of Ga-HAp concentration (0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 g·L−1) and kinetic reaction was also studied. The Ga-HAp was successfully obtained by the suspension–precipitation method. The structural characterization by XRD and FESEM-EDS elucidated the presence of gallium in the structure of hydroxyapatite. The XPS results indicated the substitution of gallium in the crystal lattice of the material. The discoloration rate of MB dye using Ga-Hap was calculated by pseudo first-order kinetics, and the best rate constant was 7.5 × 10−3 min−1 using 1.00 g·L−1 of photocatalyst. The concentration of Ga-HAp influenced the photocatalytic process, because the discoloration rate increased as a function of the concentration of material. Therefore, Ga-HAp is a promising material for environmental remediation.
