Advanced oxidation methods based on photocatalysis and sulfate radicals have attached most interest towards contaminant degradation. However, there are a lack of coupling two methods in the field of pollutant degradation . In the present study, a new Bi 2 O 3 /CuNiFe LDHs composite was fabricated and it could efficiently activate persulfate (PS) for lomefloxacin (LOM) decomposition under simulated sunlight, in which 84.6% of LOM (10 mg·L −1 ) was degraded over 40 min with 0.4 g·L −1 of Bi 2 O 3 /CuNiFe LDHs composite and 0.74 mM of PS at natural pH. In addition, the Bi 2 O 3 /CuNiFe LDHs composite possessed good reusability and stability at least four runs. Moreover, active radical scavenging experiments indicated that hydroxyl radicals (HO·), sulfate radicals (SO 4 · − ), superoxide radicals (O 2 · − ) and hole (h + ) were the main radicals under LOM degradation process. Subsequently, the possible degradation intermediates were determined and the decomposition pathways were put forward. At the same time, activated sludge inhibition experiments were performed to assess the variation of toxicity of LOM and its degradation intermediates during oxidation. Finally, possible reaction mechanism of Bi 2 O 3 /CuNiFe LDHs composite for PS activation under simulated sunlight was proposed.

A novel magnetic double-conductive photocatalyst of Fe3O4@Bi2O3/C was successfully prepared by microwave and deposition technology, and it showed satisfactory photocatalytic activity in the degradation of tetracycline compared with that of pure Bi2O3 under visible light. The improved degradation efficiency of the as-prepared Fe3O4@Bi2O3/C is attributed to the better conductivity of biomass carbon and Fe3O4 quantum dot, which significantly inhibited the recombination of electron–hole pairs and improved the optical absorption. In addition, the mechanism exploration of the radical trapping experiments and ESR measurement indicated that h+, ˙O2− and ˙OH participated in the tetracycline removal procedure. The possible photocatalytic reaction mechanisms including transfer behavior of charge carriers and the intermediate products of tetracycline degradation were also revealed in depth. This work provides a promising approach to construct a biomass carbon-based photocatalyst for the wastewater treatment.

Flower-like n -type CeO 2-δ is hybridized with p -type β-Bi 2 O 3 nanoparticles to design a novel β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p - n heterojunction photocatalyst via a thermal treatment process of Bi/Ce(CO 3 )(OH) precursor. The synthesized β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ exhibits a remarkable enhancement in NO removal and significant suppression of toxic intermediates nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) under visible light irradiation. The superior photocatalytic activity of β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ for NO removal is mainly derived from the synergistic effects of the oxygen vacancies (OVs) and p-n heterojunction. The OVs not only enhance the visible light utilization and boost the separation of electron-hole pairs but also improve the adsorption and activation of NO and O 2 . Particularly, the p-n heterojunction is beneficial for the interfacial migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and trapping experiment reveal that the synergistic effects of OVs and p-n heterojunction can induce the generation of more active species. The electrochemical measurements and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations in-depth confirm that both p-n heterojunction and OVs can accelerate the interfacial charge transfer, resulting in the deep oxidation of reactants. Therefore, the flower-like β-Bi 2 O 3 /CeO 2-δ p-n heterojunction photocatalyst exhibits an advanced photocatalytic activity for deep NO removal and a suppressed NO 2 generation. In addition, monitoring the reaction products by in situ Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) further validates that the main products of nitrates are formed during the photocatalytic process. This work demonstrates a straightforward approach for construction of p-n heterojunction photocatalysts, which can enhance the effective photocatalytic activity and stability for NO removal.

A superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic BiOCl/Bi 2 O 3 coated mesh was successfully prepared through a facile one-step hydrothermal method, which exhibits outstanding mechanical stability against sandpaper friction and resistance to water erosion and corrosive liquids. Notably, it demonstrates excellent oil/water separation efficiency and photocatalytic performance under visible light irradiation while preventing the adhesion of microorganisms to the coating surface, endowing anti-biofouling properties to the mesh. To achieve simultaneous separation of oil from water as well as degradation of soluble dye and bacteria pollutants in a single device, a superhydrophobic/superoleophilic BiOCl/Bi 2 O 3 coated mesh was also prepared using surface modification with octadecanethiol. Subsequently, a dual-layer mesh (DLM) was obtained by overlaying the superhydrophilic BiOCl/Bi 2 O 3 coating onto the superhydrophobic BiOCl/Bi 2 O 3 coating. The resulting dual-layer mesh with its superwetting properties enables concurrent oil–water separation, photodegradation of organic contaminants and photocatalytic bactericidal activity within trapped sewage. Furthermore, this versatile BiOCl/Bi 2 O 3 coated mesh can serve as a template for fabricating other bismuth-containing micro/nanostructure coatings with remarkable wetting properties. It is anticipated that such a versatile BiOCl/Bi 2 O 3 coated mesh possessing superior superwetting properties, robust mechanical durability, excellent anti-biofouling properties and outstanding photocatalytic activity will find promising applications in complex oily sewage purification systems.

A novel photocatalytic reactor was designed for the photo-degradation of organic pollutants with floated glass balls on the solution surface, which were constantly rotated by the air pumping and coated with Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 film. The uniform and stable Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 film was prepared by the facile sol-gel method at the optimal conditions of Bi Bi 2 O 3 content (1.0 mol%) and the three coating times with the film thickness of 210 nm. It was uniformly distributed and stably combined with the surface of the glass ball. Modification of Bi 2 O 3 significantly improved the visible light absorption of TiO 2 film and inhibited the photo-induced charges, promoting the photo-degradation activity. More importantly, the air pumping at the bottom of the reactor impelled the constant rotation of floated glass balls. It could realize the uniform aqueous membrane on the catalyst film to improve the efficient contact between catalyst and organics and to utilize the irradiation light efficiently, inhibiting the light shield effect of dyeing wastewater and facilitating the photo-degradation. Moreover, the Bi 2 O 3 /TiO 2 photocatalytic film in this photocatalytic reactor exhibited high durability and prevented the leakage of catalyst, providing a potential for the practical applications in the future.

Electrochemical detection has been used to measure heavy metals in food, but matrix interferences remain limited the rapid treatment-detection. This study developed a Nafion-Bi 2 O 3 coating modified graphite paper/sodium alginate gel electrode to amplify the electrical signal of Pb(II) and improve the anti-interference towards organic acids and metal ions. Although negatively charged organic acids were excluded by Nafion, interferences of exchangeable ions were amplified. In the mix drip coating, Bi 2 O 3 was chemical combined and electrostatic interacted with OH, SO 3 − and C-S in Nafion. This modification reduced diffusion resistance, enhanced surface hydrophobicity and provided additional reactive oxygen binding sites. The peak current of Pb(II) increased 56.62 % and the detection limit was lowered to 0.015 μg/L. The recoveries of Pb in matrices were 78.33 %–106.45 %. The easy field modified graphite paper electrode represents an innovation, and this study will propel the rapid detection of heavy metals based on acid-extraction.

Novel flower-like heterostructured β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 microspheres are synthesized by calcining a Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 self-sacrifice precursor for the visible-light photocatalytic degradation of o -phenylphenol (OPP, is a widely used fungicide and preservative agent). The Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 microspheres are firstly prepared under hydrothermal conditions, and then converted to Bi 2 O 3 by thermal treatment. With increasing the calcining temperature from 250 to 500 °C, an in situ stepwise decomposition reaction take place during the course of calcination , described as: Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 → β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 → β-Bi 2 O 3 → β-Bi 2 O 3 /α-Bi 2 O 3 → α-Bi 2 O 3 . The β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 microspheres synthesized at 300 °C exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation, which can degrade 99.8% OPP in 45 min. And the degradation rate of the heterostructured photocatalyst is approximately 2, 2.6, 6, 13, 80, and 827 times higher than that of single β-Bi 2 O 3 , mixed β-Bi 2 O 3 and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , commercial β-Bi 2 O 3 , α-Bi 2 O 3 , N-doped TiO 2 , and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , respectively. The superior photoreactivity of the β-Bi 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 is attributed to the enhanced charge separation and transfer due to the formation of p–n junction with large heterojunction interface, favorable band gap energy (2.27 eV), relatively high specific surface areas (12.5 m 2 g −1 ), and flower-like hierarchical micro/nano structures. In addition, the degradation intermediates including ethyl phenethyl ether, phenyl acetaldehyde, and phenylacetic acid are identified. And the results also reveal that the photogenerated holes and •O 2 − radicals are primarily reactive species in the photocatalytic system, which are the key factors responsible for the nearly complete mineralization of OPP.

A series of RGO-Cu 2 O/Bi 2 O 3 composite photocatalysts was developed by depositing Cu 2 O and Bi 2 O 3 nanocrystals on the surface of RGO via an in situ precipitation method. The Cu 2 O and Bi 2 O 3 nanocrystals distributed uniformly and separately on RGO, which favored the transfer of photogenerated electrons and holes towards an effective path. Compared with RGO-Cu 2 O and RGO-Bi 2 O 3 , the three-component RGO-Cu 2 O/Bi 2 O 3 composites presented a further improvement on the photodegradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation, which can be attributed to the construction of a Z-scheme photocatalytic system where the RGO served as a solid-state medium for the transfer of the photogenerated electrons from the conduction band of Bi 2 O 3 to the valence band of Cu 2 O.

The rapid development of high-performance electrode materials for asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs) needs to solve the bottleneck problem of low energy density. Compared with the positive electrode material, the development of the negative electrode material is relatively lagging and has become one of the key "short board" to limit the energy density of the supercapacitor device. In this study, the oxygen vacancy-rich CuBi 2 O 4 nanoparticles are triumphantly anchored on the interface of rod-like Bi 2 O 3 after calcination to prepare the heterostructure CuBi 2 O 4 /Bi 2 O 3 (CBO/BO) composites by the combination of simple hydrothermal process and calcination. Due to the unique anchoring mode, heterogeneous structure, and oxygen vacancy introduction, the CBO/BO as the cathode processes the capacitance of 294.7 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 . In addition, bimetallic NiCo layered double hydroxides (NCL) with the 3D flower-like structure prepared by a one-pot process is used as the positive electrode and the specific capacitance of 186.7 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 . The assembled water-based NCL//CBO/BO ASC triumphantly amplifies the potential window to 1.7 V, achieves the ultrahigh energy density between 91.8 and 52.9 Wh kg −1 at 850–8500 W kg −1 , and maintains the remarkable cycle consistency. Density functional theory calculation fully proves that oxygen vacancy and copper doping can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials. Therefore, the research results in this paper afforded a feasible way to further develop asymmetric supercapacitors with ultrahigh energy density.

The Fe 2 O 3 -CeO 2 -Bi 2 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst, a novel environmental-friendly material, was used to investigate the catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of cationic red GTL under mild operating conditions in a batch reactor. The catalyst was prepared by wet impregnation, and characterized by special surface area (BET measurement), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Fe 2 O 3 -CeO 2 -Bi 2 O 3 /γ-Al 2 O 3 catalyst exhibited good catalytic activity and stability in the CWAO under atmosphere pressure. The effect of the reaction conditions (catalyst loading, degradation temperature, solution concentration and initial solution pH value) was studied. The result showed that the decolorization efficiency of cationic red GTL was improved with increasing the initial solution pH value and the degradation temperature. The apparent activation energy for the reaction was 79 kJ·mol –1 . Hydroperoxy radicals (HO 2 ·) and superoxide radicals (O 2 – ·) appeared as the main reactive species upon the CWAO of cationic red GTL.

In this study, Fe 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 3 p-n heterojunction photocatalysts were fabricated to remove tetracycline (TC). The Fe 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 3 /Vis/PMS system achieved the complete degradation of TC within 80 min, with a reaction rate constant of 0.0553 min −1 , which was 34.5 and 5.8 times higher than individual photocatalytic process and PMS-AOPs, respectively. This superior catalytic performance of Fe 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 3 is primarily attributed to two key aspects. Firstly, forming a heterojunction promotes efficient segregation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, wherein holes (h + ) directly activate PMS. Secondly, PMS simultaneously functioned as an electron acceptor to generate SO₄• − , accelerating the Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox cycle while inhibiting electron-hole recombination. This study confirmed the dual advantages of enhanced radical generation through PMS-assisted photocatalysis synergistic effects and improved charge separation via heterojunction engineering.

Bi 2 O 3 /YSZ (Y 2 O 3 -stabilized ZrO 2 ) composite powders for solid electrolytes application were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. The effects of raw material ratios and temperatures on the properties of the composite powders were studied. The morphology, crystal structure and phase composition of the composite powders were characterized by means of field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the Bi 2 O 3 /YSZ composite powders could be fabricated by chemical process, and the composite powders with different shapes were prepared when the ratio of raw materials or temperature changed. The one-dimensional rod-like Bi 2 O 3 particles were obtained when the content of Bi 2 O 3 was above 10 mol% or the heating mechanism was changed. And the growth mechanism of Bi 2 O 3 in the synthesis process was studied. The oriented attachment with interaction of Ostwald ripening was the possible growth mechanism.
