Steam-assisted low-temperature synthesis creates a durable conductive spinel coating on magnesium alloy

Caption

Schematic of the two-step Steam-Assisted Solvothermal process converting a Mg(OH)₂ precursor into a dense MgFe₂O₄ spinel coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy. FE-SEM, EDS, and electrochemical analyses confirm the coating's dense and continuous structure, uniform elemental distribution, and enhanced corrosion resistance in acidic environments.
