Zinc oxide (ZnO)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) duplex coating was synthesized on Mg-0.8Ca-3Zn alloy by physical vapour deposition (PVD) combined with dip coating. The ZnO inner layer was 1.1 μm thick and consisted of spherical nanoparticles. The outer layer of the MWCNTs was 10.2 μm thick, th...
