In this work, a novel BiOCl/Cu-doped Bi 2 S 3 photocatalyst was designed to efficiently remove ciprofloxacin (CIP) with high photocatalytical activity and good stability over a wide pH range. Compared with Cu-doped Bi 2 S 3 , Bi 2 S 3 , BiOCl, BiOCl/Bi 2 S 3 , and Cu-doped BiOCl, the photocatalytical degradation rate of CIP (97.1% at 20 mg/L) over BiOCl/Cu-doped Bi 2 S 3 was enhanced by about 84.77, 44.23, 2.95, 2.27, and 1.96 times within 20 min, respectively. Notably, the BiOCl/Cu-doped Bi 2 S 3 photocatalyst also displayed high photocatalytical performance in the degradation of other antibiotics including norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and tetracycline (40 mL, 20 mg/L; 88.3%, 100%, and 95.2% of degradation rate within 30 min, respectively) under visible light irradiation. Radical trapping experiments and electron spin resonance technique indicated that superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) and photogenerated holes (h + ) played crucial roles in the photocatalytic degradation of CIP. Finally, the possible CIP degradation pathways was proposed by detecting the CIP intermediates in photocatalytical reaction process.

Inspired by the high sustainability, energy saving, cleanliness of photocatalysis (PC) with respect to antibiotics decomposition, we developed a stable, highly efficient Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 @Bi 2 S 3 /polyurethane (BTO@Bi 2 S 3 /PU) photocatalytic system. It exhibited the best degradation performance with the removal of 82.08 % oxytetracycline (OTC) within 180 min under the optimal reaction parameters. Systematic characterization of BTO@Bi 2 S 3 /PU revealed its wider light-harvest capacity, higher electron–hole (e − –h + ) separation efficiency, lower interface resistance, and better redox potential in heterojunction. Based on electrochemical characterization and density functional theory calculation, the construction of Z-scheme BTO@Bi 2 S 3 photocatalyst substantially optimized the band structure. Moreover, the redox cycles of Bi 3+ /Bi 5+ and Ti 4+ /Ti 3+ further enhanced the charge transfer rate during the photoactivation process. For the OTC photodegradation pathways, ·OH, h + , ·O 2 − , and 1 O 2 dominated the pollutant decomposition and the toxicity of intermediates were decreased. Overall, the BTO@Bi 2 S 3 /PU photocatalytic system may provide a universal and stable technique for advanced photoheterojunction applications and wastewater purification.

To achieve an effective and straightforward method for Cr(VI) removal from industrial wastewater, a composite Bi 2 S 3 /PDA/PEI material (BSPP) was successfully prepared through in-situ polymerization of polydopamine (PDA) followed by chemical grafting with polyethylenimine (PEI) on the surface of Bi 2 S 3 materials for round-the-clock highly efficient Cr(VI) removal from actual industrial electroplating wastewater. Under dark conditions, the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) by BSPP reaches 780.75 mg/g. Interestingly, when exposed to light, the maximum Cr(VI) removal capacity was further increased to 1333.21 mg/g. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) analyses indicate that BSPP not only reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(III) under light condition, but also facilitates the significant decrease of total chromium content. Notably, under natural sunlight exposure outdoors, BSPP is capable of completely eliminating Cr(VI) from both plating cleaning solutions and waste plating solutions. More importantly, BSPP maintains its original Cr(VI) removal efficiency after nine cycles within plating cleaning solutions and six cycles within waste plating solutions. Large-scale testing results indicate that BSPP can effectively treat substantial volumes of electroplating wastewater to comply with national Cr(VI) discharge standards. These findings suggest that BSPP represents a promising material for continuous 24-hour Cr(VI) treatment in industrial electroplating wastewater.

The unique properties of MOFs make them the best candidates for catalytic and photocatalytic applications. In this research, the NH 2 -UiO-66 material was prepared by solvothermal method , and different content of NH 2 -UiO-66 was added before the composite growth of Bi 2 S 3 and BiOBr nanomaterials to obtain the NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 ternary composite material. In order to investigate the relationship between the structure and properties of the catalyst, XRD , FT-IR, SEM , HRTEM , UV–vis DRS, XPS and other characterization technologies were used to analyze the structure, morphology, optical properties of the samples, showing that NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 have been successfully synthesized. Their photocatalytic performance was evaluated based on the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride and rhodamine B under visible light . The results show that 2% NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 has better photocatalytic activity than other materials. Moreover, NH 2 -UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 also demonstrated good photocatalytic reusability and stability. The formation of Bi 2 S 3 and BiOBr heterojunctions and the introduction of NH 2 -UiO-66 with more active sites increase the carrier performance and separation efficiency. Then the valence band and conduction band values of the semiconductor material are calculated through the M-S curve, combined with the forbidden bandwidth deduced by UV–vis DRS and the experimental results of radical trapping, a double Z-type electron transfer mechanism suitable for this system is inferred. Finally, taking RhB as an example, the degradation path of dye pollutants was studied.

Two-dimensional Bi2S3 is considered a better photocatalyst when combined with CdS. To deeply understand electronic structures between CdS and Bi2S3, CdS@Bi2S3 core–shell nanorods (NRs) were synthesized with a two-step hydrothermal method, and CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 composites were obtained with MoS2 nanoparticles decorated on the surface of CdS@Bi2S3 NRs. Then, the energy band alignments in CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 were constructed from XPS and UPS measurements, and dual z-scheme CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 heterostructures were confirmed from charge transfer with electron spin resonance (ESR) signals of •O2– and •OH. Finally, the photocatalytic hydrogen activities were carried out with the prepared samples. The results showed that the optimized CdS@Bi2S3 core–shell NRs have a hydrogen production rate of 4.29 mmol·h–1·g–1, which is 8.4 times higher than that of the pure CdS nanorods, and the optimized CdS@Bi2S3–MoS2 heterostructure has a hydrogen production rate of 8.72 mmol·h–1·g–1, which is 17 times higher than that of the pure CdS NRs. The enhanced photocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the dual z-scheme heterostructure and full-spectrum absorption; the former is favorable for the efficient separation of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs, and the latter is beneficial to the production of more photogenerated carriers. The studies will be helpful to understand the electronic structures of Bi2S3 and the related heterostructures.

Using photoelectrochemical (PEC) platform for ultrasensitive detection of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is a big challenge since sensor sensitive component can be damaged by corrosive metabolites. In this work, a novel bio-etching strategy for sensitizing PEC platform is developed to detect SRB. In the presence of bacterial metabolite (H 2 S), BiOCl platform can be bio-etched to form Bi 2 S 3 /BiOCl p-n heterojunction, leading to a significant enhancement of photocurrent . The PEC sensing platform fabricated by bio-etching strategy presents acceptable detection specificity and high detection sensitivity with a low detection limit of 29 cfu/mL for SRB. The current work can provide new strategies to sensitize PEC platforms for detection of microorganisms that produce corrosive metabolite.

The establishment of an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) assay is of great significance for sensitive detection. The Bi 2 S 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction is fabricated as photoactive material with the utilization of ascorbic acid (AA) as a hole-trapping agent for PEC sensing azomycin, an emerging antibiotic contaminant. The Bi 2 S 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 shows an intense photocurrent response, which is due to the hierarchical structure for abundant active sites, regulated electron coupling for charge transfer and the suitable band gap for the enhancement of light absorption. The hole-trapping agent AA is used to promote the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and amplify the generated photocurrent signal. The constructed PEC sensor achieves the excellent performance for azomycin detection with a wide linear range and low detection limit, revealing an enormous potential of this strategy as a PEC platform for the sensitive detection of various targets.

The non-invasive imaging of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is highly desired for clinical research due to the various GI tract bacterial infection-induced diseases. To treat GI tract infections, various antibiotics have been used in the clinic. The growing problem of multidrug-resistant bacteria calls for effective antibiotic alternatives. Here, we construct a dual-functional Bi2S3@mSiO2@Ag nanocomposite for simultaneous enhanced X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging and efficient antibacterial activity in the GI tract. The nanocomposite also has good stability, low cytotoxicity, and negligible hemolysis. Moreover, the investigation of the long-term toxicity and biodistribution of the Bi2S3@mSiO2@Ag nanocomposite after oral administration confirms its safety at the tested dosage. In particular, Ag nanoparticles (NPs) well dispersed on a silica substrate can reduce the antibacterial dosage and enhance the antibacterial activity of the Bi2S3@mSiO2@Ag nanocomposite. Furthermore, we have established bacterially infected enteritis animal models to confirm the antibacterial ability of the nanocomposite. This work opens up a new avenue for the design of a nanotheranostic agent that acts as both a contrast agent for the enhanced visualization of the GI tract and an antibacterial agent as an alternative to antibiotics.

In this paper, Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres with size of 212 nm were prepared by a simple hydrothermal process. The selectively enhanced antibacterial effects of Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres with three classes of ineffective antibiotics, β-lactam (cefuroxime, CXM; cefotaxime , CTX and piperacillin , PIP), quinolone (ciprofloxacin, CIP) and aminoglycoside (gentamicin, GEN) against clinical isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were investigated for the first time. GEN shows significantly synergistic growth inhibition against MRSA when combined with Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres, while CXM, CTX, PIP and CIP do not. Raman spectroscopy and Z potential studies reveal that Bi 2 S 3 could interact with GEN and the combination showed small electronegativity , which probably induced the increase of GEN content in cytoplasm of bacteria. Furthermore, the combination of Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres and GEN can destroy the bacterial membrane function and induce more bactericidal reactive oxygen generation than that of Bi 2 S 3 or GEN alone. The cytotoxicity test indicates that the combination of Bi 2 S 3 and GEN presented low toxicity to human normal hepatocyte L02. This work shows that Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres can be used to enhance the action of ineffective antibiotic GEN against MRSA, thus strengthening the antibiotic capacity for fighting MRSA infections.

In this work, we present a highly sensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing platform for malathion (Mal) detection based on the biocatalysis-induced formation of BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 semiconductor heterostructures (BIFBSH). Initially, a double-stranded DNA consisting of an initiator strand and the anti-Mal aptamer was immobilized on magnetic beads surface. The target Mal could competitively bind with its aptamer and liberate the initiator strand from the double-stranded DNA. Subsequently, the initiator strand triggered a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) to produce a long DNA concatemer containing the sequence of G-quadruplex structure. The DNA concatemer was then endowed with HRP-like activity via the formation of hemin/G-quadruplex complexes and binding with MnTMPyP. The HCR-synthesized HRP-mimicking DNA concatemer (HSHMDC) was employed to catalyze Na 2 S 2 O 3 conversion to H 2 S with the aid of H 2 O 2 . The generated H 2 S could react with BiOBr nanoflowers (BiOBrNFs) modified on an indium tin oxide electrode, resulting in the in situ formation of BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures with enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency. The BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 heterostructures could generate a strong photocurrent signal to indicate Mal recognition. Under the optimal conditions, a wide linear range between the Mal concentration and photocurrent intensity (0.001–1000 ng mL −1 ) and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.12 pg mL −1 were achieved.

Taking advantage of nano-sized active materials, doping and self-supporting, Se-doped Bi 2 S 3 /3D carbon foam (Bi 2 S 3-x Se x /CF) is synthesized through a pyrolysing-hydrothermal-heating three-steps process. The as-synthesized Bi 2 S 3-x Se x /CF hybrid exhibits a significant improvement in electrochemical performance, showing a high specific capacity of 441.8 mAh g −1 after 100 cycles with the coulombic efficiency approximating to 100%. The special nanoneedle-like structure of Bi 2 S 3 makes for shortening ion transmission distance, minishing the mechanical stress and thus improving the electrochemical performance. And the introduction of Se can enhance the specific capacity, cycling stability and rate performance by improving of electronic conductivity and forming Se-contained inactive phase during alloying process. Furthermore, the self-supporting electrode is beneficial to simplify preparation process and reduce the loss of volume energy density . The strategy presented in this paper to improve the electrochemical performance of secondary ions battery can be also applied to other novel electrodes materials.

Hydrogen (H2) fuel production from hazardous contaminants is not only of economic importance but also of significance for the environment and health. Hydrogen production is exemplified in this work by using bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) sandwiched in between zinc sulfide (ZnS) and zinc oxide (ZnO) as dual-heterojunction photoelectrode to photoelectrochemically extract H2 from sulfide- and sulfite-containing wastewater, which is emitted in enormous quantities from the petrochemical industries. The H2 evolution rate over the ZnS/Bi2S3/ZnO photoelectrode under solar illumination amounts to 112.8 μmol cm–2 h–1, of which the photocurrent density in the meantime reaches 10.7 mA cm–2, by far exceeding those reported for additional Bi2S3-based counterparts in the literature. Such superior performance is ascribed on one hand to the broadband sunlight-harvesting ability of Bi2S3 that gives rise to respectable photoexcited electron–hole pairs. These photogenerated charge carriers are subsequently rectified by the built-in electric field at the ZnS/Bi2S3 and Bi2S3/ZnO heterojunctions to flow in the opposite directions to well circumvent the recombination losses and, most importantly, in turn contribute substantially to the H2 evolution reaction.
