A multicomponent Bi-based Z-scheme photocatalyst, BISB, was developed through a hydrothermal method. In this sample, two semiconducting nanostructures, BiOI and Bi2S3, were linked together with the metal Bi nanoparticle. As compared with BiOI (BI) and heterojunction BiOI/Bi2S3 (BIS) samples, the BISB had optimal Rhodamine B (RhB) photodecomposition performance. High efficiency separation of photoexcited electrons and holes, decreased band gap energy, extended specific surface area, and promotional redox potential were key factors for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of the prepared sample. The photoexcited holes were the key active radicals during the RhB photodecomposition process over the BISB catalyst, while ·O2¯ was also involved to a smaller extent. Additionally, the photocatalyst demonstrated excellent reusability and stability during the photoreaction process, suggesting that the BISB sample could be a candidate for water purification applications.

A stable and translucent Bi@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 /TiO 2 film was fabricated on conventional glass substrates for the first time. The film exhibited a good photocatalytic performance and efficient self-cleaning capability against organic dyes under full spectral irradiation and visible light irradiation. Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 /TiO 2 film was first prepared on a glass substrate with colloidal silica as a high temperature binder, followed by implantation of nanoscale Bi in it by an in-situ partially reduction of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 to generate Bi@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 /TiO 2 films. The improved photocatalytic ability is probably attributed to the surface plasmon resonance of Bi atom as well as the enhanced electron transfer efficiency and synergistic effect of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 and TiO 2 . According to trapping experiments, hydroxyl radicals (OH) were active species in the photocatalytic degradation of dyes under full spectral light irradiation and possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. The film prepared in this work may well have potential practical applications in many aspects, such as cleansing treatments for high building external decorative panels and also systematic characterization of the film suggests that the in-situ reduction is an effective and simple way to produce nanoscale Bi@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 .

Electrochemical reduction of N2 represents a very attractive approach for sustainable NH3 production at environmental temperature and pressure. The design of highly branched Pd-based nanoarchitectonics is very important for the electrocatalytic N2 reduction reaction (NRR). Herein, we propose a very simple synthetic method for direct fabrication of unique bi-metallic PdRu nanorod assemblies (PdRu NRAs) with high yield in an aqueous solution. Owing to their branched shape together with bi-metallic compositions, the self-supported PdRu NRAs assembled with staggered nanorods show high catalytic activity and superior durability for the NRR. The presented direct synthetic strategy is very valuable for the design of active branched metallic catalysts for the NRR.

Here, by a simple one-step in situ chemical reduction method, the Ag x Cu y alloy was tailored on the surface of mesoporous TiO 2 (M-TiO 2 ), therefore, a series of bi-functional mesoporous TiO 2 nanohybrids (M-TiO 2 /Ag x Cu y ) for both surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection and photocatalytic degradation of ampicillin (AMP) were achieved. The composition and structure of the nanohybrids were well characterized using XRD, TEM, XPS and HRTEM-EDS measurements. Results indicated that Ag x Cu y alloy was mainly attached around the pores of M-TiO 2 which may generate more active sites than nonporous P25−Ag−Cu. Thus, the M-TiO 2 /Ag x Cu y nanohybrids could be used as efficient SERS substrates to sensitively monitor the AMP in water with lower detection limit (˜ 1 ppt) than P25−Ag−Cu. Besides, the M-TiO 2 /Ag 3 Cu 1 nanohybrid also showed higher photocatalytic activities for the degradation of AMP under UV irradiation over the M-TiO 2 /Ag, the M-TiO 2 /Cu and the P25−Ag−Cu. This work provided a simple and effective approach to synthesize bi-functional nanohybrids for detection and degradation of organic contaminants in wastewater.

Photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production is a clean and sustainable way to combat energy crises and environmental issues. The performance of BiVO 4 which acts as a promising photoanode could be effectively enhanced by loading with Bi nanoparticles. In this study, a viable method to fabricate Bi/BiVO 4 electrode was proposed to enhance hydrogen production through a photoelectrocatalytic reaction. The results indicated that Bi nanoparticles loaded under optimal condition could obviously increase the photocurrent density of the BiVO 4 electrode from 0.9 mA cm −2 to 2.0 mA cm −2 under visible light illumination. Furthermore, the photoelectrochemical hydrogen production efficiency could have a 2.5-fold improvement with the addition of 20 ppm phenol. The possible mechanism of the enhanced performance and the function of phenol in the overall reaction was discussed.

In this paper, inspired by the cubic bi-continuous gyroid structure self-assembled by block copolymers, we start with the application of a novel and more facile approach, compared to the tedious synthetic procedures of block copolymers, to prepare the bi-continuous phases structured nanocomposite electrolytes. The bi-continuous phase structure is composed of a hard phase of the electrospun poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) non-woven scaffold providing the mechanical support for the electrolyte membranes and another soft phase built up then by the infiltration of polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolyte into the PVDF scaffold membrane to be the ionic conducting phase. Therefore, the nanocomposite polymer electrolytes of the bi-continuous phase structure are prepared with addition of the different amounts of TiO 2 nanoparticles into the PEO electrolyte (containing LiClO 4 ). The nanocomposite electrolyte membranes have systematically been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and tensile test. The tensile results indicate that the infiltration of PEO phase into the PVDF scaffold can greatly improve the elongation of the electrolyte membrane at break, but the tensile strength of the electrolyte membrane is substantially dependent on the electrospun PVDF scaffold. The ionic conductivity measurements show that addition of TiO 2 nanoparticles with an appropriate amount of ca . 10 wt% enhances the ionic conductivity of the nanocomposite electrolytes to 7.60 × 10 −5 S cm −1 at 60 °C, compared to 8.33 × 10 −6 S cm −1 at 60 °C of the PEO–LiClO 4 electrolyte. The effect of TiO 2 nanoparticles on the enhancement of Li + ion conductivity has been investigated by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectra (ATR-FTIR), and the results show that a competitive interaction between TiO 2 nanoparticles and Li + ions weakens to some extent the existing complexing action of ether-O…Li + , allowing Li + ions faster transfer. However, we have found by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) that the real dispersion state of TiO 2 nanoparticles in the nanocomposite electrolytes is in the form of large aggregates instead of the individual primary nanoparticles, which would tremendously depress the surface effect of the individual nanoparticles and greatly impact on the enhancement of the ionic conductivity.

Dy-Bi co-doped yttrium tungstate crystal materials were synthesized by high temperature solid-state method. To reveal the photoluminescence features and properties of the samples, some measurements have been taken. It turned out that different Bi 3 + concentrations play obvious influence in emission performance, and show visible light emission under ultraviolet light excitation. Besides, the effect of temperature on phase structure of samples has also been studied here. Superhigh X-ray luminescence of the phosphors exhibited the promising application in the field of high energy detection. The X-ray irradiation crystal resistance stability of the phosphors has also been investigated through the subsequent testing of XRD and spectra.

The (1− x )BaTiO 3 – x Bi(Zn 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 ( x = 0.01–0.30) ceramics were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The solubility limit was determined to be x = 0.20. A systematic structural transition from a tetragonal phase ( x ≤ 0.034), to a mixture of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases (0.038 ≤ x ≤ 0.20), and finally to a pseudocubic phase ( x ≥ 0.22) at room temperature was identified. Dielectric measurement revealed a ferroelectric ( x ≤ 0.04) to relaxor ( x ≥ 0.06) transition with permittivity peak broadening and flattening, which was further verified by Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Activation energies obtained from the Vogel–Fulcher model displayed an increasing trend from ~0.03 eV for x ~ 0.05, to unusually high values (>0.20 eV) for the compositions with x ≥ 0.15. With the increase in Bi(Zn 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 content, the polarization hysteresis demonstrated a tendency from high nonlinearity to sublinearity coupled with the reduction in remnant polarization and coervice field. The deconvolution of the irreversible/reversible polarization contribution was enabled by first-order reversal curve distributions, which indicates that the decreasing polarization nonlinearity with the increase in Bi(Zn 2/3 Nb 1/3 )O 3 concentration could be related with the change from the ferroelectric domain and domain wall contributions to the weakly coupled relaxor behaviors.

The preparation and characterization of homogeneous and colorless ionic liquid analogs(ILAs) containing choline chloride(ChCl), malonic acid and bismuth chloride were investigated. The structure of the above mixture was preliminarily analyzed, and then the physicochemical properties including viscosity, conductivity and density were investigated as functions of temperature and composition. Additionally, the thermal stability of the ILAs and the electrochemical behavior of Bi3+ ions in the medium were studied. Structure analysis reveals that the synthesis of deep eutectic solvents(DESs) is closely related to the formation of hydrogen bonds between malonic acid and ChCl, with their viscosity, conductivity and density being greatly dependent on the temperature and composition. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrates that the ILAs are very stable between room temperature and 398.15 K. And the electrochemical experiments indicate that the bismuth films can be successfully deposited from this ILAs and the deposition mechanism of bismuth is a rather irreversible process. The surface morphology of bismuth films deposited on Cu substrates was very compact and smooth. Thus, ChCl-malonic acid DESs were shown to be a good alternative to aqueous solvents for various deposition-related applications.

We studied the effect of doping with Bi on the thermoelectric properties of SnTe-based materials. Doping with Bi reduced the density of holes and increased the Seebeck coefficient over a wide temperature range as a result of modulation of the carrier concentration and an increase in the density of states effective mass. The lattice thermal conductivity was also greatly reduced as a result of the wide frequency range of phonon scattering by multiscale architectures derived from Bi doping. A maximum ZT value of c. 1.1 at 873 K was obtained in Sn0.94Bi0.06Te, an enhancement of 165% compared with the undoped sample.

Single crystals of heterovalent Bi-doped CH3NH3PbCl3 perovskite have been successfully grown through the inverse temperature crystallization method. Bandgap narrowing of 300 meV (a 55 nm red-shifting absorption edge) is obtained for the nominal 20% Bi-doped crystal with the host structure and the energy at the top of the valence band invariable. It is observed that the contact between the Au electrodes and single crystals transforms from Ohmic to Schottky, and the conductivity increases with increasing Bi doping level. By contrast, the Bi-doped CH3NH3PbCl3 thin films are also prepared, and the similar bandgap narrowing is found, although the narrowing degree is less than that in single crystals. This work has a comprehensive understanding of Bi-doped single crystals and thin films, providing further optoelectronic applications for these promising solution-processed hybrid perovskite semiconductor materials.

Bi is a semimetal with unusual and attractive electronic properties. However, synthesis of nanoscale 0-2D Bi single crystal with good dispersity and quality without surfactants and substrates is still a challenge. In this paper, a novel, simple and low-cost solvothermal method for synthesis of 0-2D nanoscale Bi at mild conditions and without a surfactant/substrate is reported. By using Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5H 2 O or NaBiO 3 ·2H 2 O as Bi sources and environmental friendly C 3 H 8 O 3 as solvent, we synthesized nanospheres , nanowires and nanoribbons characterized with monodispersity, high purity and crystallinity. The growth mechanism of the 0-2D nanostructure was discussed. It is found that the Bi source, concentration and solvent significantly influences the morphology and size. Single crystal free-standing nanoribbon has large magnetoresistance up to 540% at 100 K. This novel approach can be applied in synthesis of nanostructured Bi single crystals and the large-scale fabrication of some other nanostructured semimetals.
