The disclosure describes braze tape coatings and technique to form articles with differing physical properties in different layers or regions of the article. An example method includes forming a braze tape defining at least one layer that includes a first segment and a second segment. A portion of the second segment in the plane is adjacent to a portion of the first segment in a plane of the layer. The method also includes positioning the braze tape on a surface of a substrate, the plane of the layer of the braze tape being parallel to the surface of the substrate. The method also includes heating the braze tape to melt a constituent of at least one of the first coating material and the second coating material to form a densified coating on the surface of the substrate.

The disclosure discloses microbial conductive ceramics and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms and the technical field of semiconductor materials. The disclosure is based on ordinary insulating macroporous ceramics, using the means of cell immobilization and the principle of microbial adsorption, to prepare the microbial conductive ceramics including macroporous ceramics, microbes immobilized on the macroporous ceramics and metal ions adsorbed to the microbes. The microbial conductive ceramics have excellent performance, and the conductivity of the microbial conductive ceramics can reach 2.91×10.sup.6 S/m. At the same time, the cost of the microbial conductive ceramics is low, only 10% of the cost of conductive ceramics with the same conductivity.
