Antimicrobial and Cell-Friendly Properties of Cobalt and Nickel-Doped Tricalcium Phosphate Ceramics.

ABSTRACT: β-Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is widely used as bone implant material. It has been observed that doping the β-TCP structure with certain cations can help in combating bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms. Previous literature investigations have focused on tricalcium phosphate structures with silver, copper, zinc, and iron cations. However, there are limited studies available on the biological properties of β-TCP containing nickel and cobalt ions. In this work, Ca_10.5-xNi_x(PO₄)₇ and Ca_10.5-xCo_x(PO₄)₇ solid solutions with the β-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ structure were synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction. Structural studies revealed the β-T
