Pulse electrochemical deposition is utilized to co‐synthesize hydroxyapatite (HA) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) with the mediation of polypyrrole (PPy). PPy acts as the core template for HA–NP and chelation agent for Ag–NP formation. The HA‐Ag‐PPy coatings that contain HA–NPs and Ag–NPs with good osteoconductivity and high antibacterial activity.
