Bone implants with the photothermal effect are promising for the treatment of bone tumor defects. Noble metal-based photothermal nanoagents are widely studied for their stable photothermal effect, but they are expensive and difficult to directly grow on implant surfaces. In contrast, non-noble metal photothermal nanoagents are economical but unstable. Herein, to develop a stable and economical photothermal film on bone implants, a Ni nanoparticle-doped oxide semiconductor film was grown in situ on Nitinol via the reduction of Ni-Ti-layered double hydroxides. Ni nanoparticles remained stable in the NiTiO
