Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the most widely used calcium phosphate as a coating on metal implants due to its biocompatibility and bioactivity. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of the pH’s electrolyte and doping element on the morphology, roughness, chemical, and phasic composition of h...
