Summary: Boric acid is added to the electrolyte to adjust the growth process of TiO2 nanotubes and improve their adhesion to the titanium substrate. The formation of a complex with F(-) results in the slow release of F(-), leading to a slower growth rate of the nanotubes and inhibition of the fluoride-rich TiO2 layer that causes poor adhesion. The improved adhesion is attributed to the combined effect of the fluoride ion enrichment theory and the residual stress theory. Additionally, the addition of boric acid significantly enhances the photoelectric catalytic performance and capacitance area of the TiO2 nanotube arrays.

Summary: Five systems of Ti alloys with 10 wt % of the second metal were electrochemically synthesized in a fluoride-containing ethylene glycol-based electrolyte. Results showed that the Ti90Ag10_40V sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities, potentially due to the heterojunction between the oxides, formation of single Ag nanoparticles, and high level of self-organization.

Summary: The growth mechanism of anodic TiO2 nanotubes (ATNTs) was studied in this research, and it was found to be related to the concentration of fluoride ions. Under the same electrolyte and the same fluoride ion concentration, the growth rates of nanotubes obtained at 55 V, 60 V and 65 V were 156 nm/min, 215 nm/min and 402 nm/min, respectively. The huge difference in growth rates was reasonably explained in terms of the electronic current and the oxygen bubble model, suggesting that fluoride ions play a role in forming an anion-contaminated layer to promote electronic current and oxygen evolution.

Summary: Highly ordered transparent thin films of TiO2 with nanotube (TNT) arrays were successfully synthesized by electrochemical anodization. Analysis of the samples showed the presence of highly ordered TNT arrays with a high degree of optical transmission. The anodization time had an impact on the surface morphology and regularity of the pores. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the anatase phase in the samples.

Summary: The bio-inertness of titanium and severe inflammation can inhibit the regulation of osteogenesis-angiogenesis and lead to poor osseointegration of peri-implant. In this study, TiO2 nanotubes of different diameters were prepared on titanium substrate and TNT-70 showed the most significant induction of macrophage differentiation to the pro-healing M2 phenotype. TNT-70 also stimulated the osteogenic potential of MSCs and the angiogenic ability of HUVECs through paracrine signaling. In vivo experiments demonstrated that TNT-70 relieved inflammation, facilitated osteogenesis and angiogenesis, and promoted osseointegration of peri-implant.

Summary: This study investigates the transport kinetics of different ions within nanochannels and finds that the ion transport in short nanochannels deviates significantly from the classical model. The results suggest that the formation of electrical double layer becomes the rate-determining step in short nanopores/nanochannels and affects the apparent ion transport kinetics.

Summary: The effective diffusion-controlled performance of the SIB anode, CoxTi1-xO2/CNTs, offers high reversible sodium uptake. Increasing the mass ratio of Co atoms in the TiO2 lattice shifts the mechanism from diffusive charge contribution to capacitive charge contribution. The partial amorphization of the crystalline TiO2 and attenuation of the crystal lattice reflect the electrodes' ability for high reversible sodium uptake. The synchronous effect of CNTs and Co loading enhances porosity and multiple conducting channels, favoring high sodium storage and stability.

Summary: Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering and storing carbon. The study found that ecosystem carbon stocks vary among mangrove stands of different ages, with vegetation biomass contributing more to carbon stock as the stand ages, while soil carbon stock shows the opposite trend. Additionally, the annual accumulation rate of ecosystem carbon stocks decreases with mangrove stand chronology.

Summary: Mangrove plantations have high potential for biomass carbon sequestration, but their effects on soil organic carbon accumulation are unclear. Biomass increment and SOC accumulation are unsynchronized with mangrove plantation development, with monospecific plantations potentially not significantly accelerating SOC sequestration in the early stage. Multi-specific plantations may facilitate SOC accumulation more effectively than monospecific plantations.

Summary: Despite having higher vegetation and fine root biomass, the exotic Sonneratia apetala does not significantly increase soil organic carbon storage compared to native mangroves. Lower C:N ratio and soil salinity in S. apetala can promote fine root decomposition rate, offsetting the carbon accumulation advantage related to higher fine root biomass. Restoration of mangrove is effective in enhancing soil carbon stock, but the use of exotic S. apetala should be decreased or avoided, especially in Natural Reserves.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on the production and decomposition of mangrove fine roots on SOC accumulation, with findings showing that root production is mainly influenced by vegetation biomass while decomposition is negatively affected by soil salinity. Across the sea-land gradient, there were increases in POC and SOC, while DOC/SOC and MBC/SOC ratios decreased. Fine root production had the most significant impact on the ratio of SOC components among the multiple factors analyzed.
