Magnesium alloy (MgA) has been extensively used as orthopedic and cardiovascular scaffolds in virtue of its good biocompatibility, unique biodegradability and excellent mechanical properties. However, poor corrosion resistance and easy infection after implantation seriously limit the potential appli...
