The properties of coatings formed on the MA8 magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation in electrolytes containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes concentrations 2, 4 and 6 g/l have been investigated. It was found that introduction leads to an increase adhesive strength, microhardness Young’s modulus obtained layers.

Photo-/electrochemical water splitting can be a suitable method to produce “green” hydrogen and oxygen by utilizing renewable energy or even direct sunlight. In order carry out photoelectrochemical (PEC) splitting, photoanode based on transition metal oxides, which absorbs photons produces photoexcited electron–hole pairs, is needed. The positively charged holes then participate in the oxidatio...

The properties of coatings formed on the MA8 magnesium alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation in electrolytes containing silicon carbide nanoparticles concentrations 2, 4 and 6 g/l have been investigated. It has shown that coatings, which contain nanoparticles, a significant advantage microhardenss adhesive strength comparison with surface layers obtained without their use.
