The high activity barriers of Li 2 S nucleation and deposition limit the redox reaction kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), meanwhile, the significant shuttle effect of LiPSs hampers the advancement of Li-S batteries (LSBs). In this work, a NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 -rGO (NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 -G) sulfur host with bifunctional catalytic activity was prepared through a hard template method. Electrochemical experiment results confirm that the combination of NiSe 2 and CoSe 2 not only facilitates the bidirectional catalytic function during charge and discharge processes, but also increases the active sites toward LiPSs adsorption. Simultaneously, the highly conductive rGO network enhances the electronic conductivity of NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 -G/S and provides convenience for loading NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 catalysts. Benefitting from the exceptional catalytic-adsorption capability of NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 and the presence of rGO, the NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 -G/S electrode exhibits excellent electrochemical properties . At 1C, it demonstrates a low capacity attenuation of 0.087 % per cycle during 500 cycles. The electrode can maintain a discharge capacity of 927 mAh/g at a sulfur loading of 3.3 mg cm −2 . The bidirectional catalytic activity of NiSe 2 /CoSe 2 -G offers a prospective approach to expedite the redox reactions of active S, meanwhile, this work also offers an ideal approach for designing efficient S hosts for LSBs.

The photocatalytic proficiency of Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 is hindered by its inadequate solar energy harnessing capability and swift electron-hole recombination dynamics. In the investigation, the study innovated Bi metal oxide heterostructures by embedding Bi nanoparticle-modified Bi x Ti (4-x) O 7 composites, systematically synthesizing a suite of Bi/BT materials through meticulous tuning of the Bi and Ti precursor ratios. Notably, the Bi/BT-2 series was examined for its photocatalytic performance in tetracycline (TC) degradation. The findings revealed that Bi/BT-2 exhibited remarkable TC degradation efficiency, achieving a removal rate of 99.6 %, which surpasses BT-2 by a factor of 3.25 and TiO 2 by 1.67 times. Mechanistic probing unveiled that the incorporation of nanostructured Bi onto the Bi x Ti (4-x) O 7 surface introduced fresh active sites, dramatically bolstering the photocatalytic activity by augmenting the light absorption spectrum and refining charge separation processes. Moreover, an exhaustive examination of the TC degradation mechanism facilitated by Bi/BT-2 demonstrated sustained efficiency exceeding 80 % across a pH range spanning from 3 to 9, emphasizing its promising potential for practical applications. This study contributes invaluable perspectives for the design of cutting-edge metal-oxide photocatalysts tailored for environmental remediation purposes. Synopsis : The low degradation efficiency of tetracycline has posed a major challenge in bismuth titanate research. To address this, a novel approach was implemented by developing a Bi x Ti (4-x) O 7 composite catalyst modified with Bi nanoparticles. This modification forms a metal-oxide heterojunction, which significantly enhances the degradation efficiency.

Amorphous Bi–TiO 2 films with improved electrochromic properties have been successfully fabricated by a facile sol-gel spin-coating technology. The influence of dopant bismuth (Bi) content and sol amount on the electrochromic performance of Bi–TiO 2 films was studied. The optimized Bi–TiO 2 films show outstanding electrochromic properties, including wide transmittance modulation (ΔT = 74.26 % at 640 nm), short switching times (2.6 s/3 s for bleaching and coloring), and large coloration efficiency (52.77 cm 2 C −1 ). A proton-based electrochromic device was prepared by the amorphous Bi–TiO 2 film as the electrochromic film and Cu sheet as the counter electrode. The prepared device has a small operating potential range (1.0 V) in aqueous electrolyte due to the excellent electrochromic performance and high proton activity for the amorphous Bi–TiO 2 film. In addition, the device shows excellent performance (ΔT = 67.41 %, 2.5 s/3.9 s for bleaching and coloring), providing an important reference value for the development of high-efficiency electrochromic device.

N -formylation of amines with CO 2 is a promising approach to high-efficient utilization of CO 2 as C1 feedstock, while conventional thermocatalytic processes suffer from harsh reaction condition and intense energy consumption. In this work, photocatalytic N -formylation of amines with CO 2 is achieved at room temperature over Pt-Bi/CeO 2− x composite catalyst. The Pt-Bi bimetallic sites increase the concentration of surface oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, the synergistic effects of Pt and Bi improve the light absorption capacity, reduce the band gap energy of the photocatalyst and promote the separation of photoinduced charge carriers. Using PhSiH 3 as the reducing agent, the conversion of N -methylaniline reaches 100 % after 3 h irradiation in N, N -dimethylformamide solvent with a N- methylformanilide selectivity of 90.8 %. The composite photocatalyst shows promising cycling stability and universality.

The accumulation of heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in the food chain poses a serious threat to human health, necessitating the development of rapid, on-site, and portable detection methods for Cd (II). Herein, we developed a smartphone-based electrochemical sensor for portable determination of Cd (II) in vegetables using a bismuth metal–organic framework (Bi-MOF) nanocomposite. Prismatic rod-like Bi-MOF was hydrothermally synthesized using trimesic acid as organic ligands, and subsequently, carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs) were incorporated to form Bi-MOF nanocomposite network. The smartphone-based electrochemical sensor enables rapid, sensitive, and portable detection of Cd (II) in vegetable samples using Bi-MOF/COOH-MWCNTs-modified screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE). A comparative analysis of traditional electrochemical sensors coupled with desktop computer for linear voltametric responses for Cd (II) in the range of 0.2–500 ng/mL with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.07 ng/mL using Bi-MOF/COOH-MWCNTs-modified glassy carbon electrodes (GCE), the portable sensor demonstrated good linear range in 0.7–350 ng/mL with a LOD of 0.22 ng/mL. This work introduces a novel approach for on-site and portable detection of Cd (II) in agricultural products.

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of plasmonic metals is an effective strategy for enhancing photocatalytic efficiency. Herein, we successfully synthesized the SPR-promoted Bi/Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction photocatalysts by in situ reduction of Bi 3 + in Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheets to plasmonic Bi via a facile solvothermal method. The size of Bi nanoparticles on the surface of Bi 2 WO 6 was adjusted by varying the solvothermal temperature. After 15 min of visible light irradiation, the Bi/Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction with a suitable size of metal Bi obtained after solvothermal treatment at 160°C exhibited 100 % degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB), which was 2.3 times greater than that of the pure Bi 2 WO 6 . The excellent photodegradation performance of this sample can be attributed to the SPR effect of metal Bi, which enhances light absorption, generates active sites and species, and facilitates rapid carrier transfer. Additionally, the formation of the Bi/Bi 2 WO 6 Schottky heterojunction promotes carrier separation and minimizes the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Furthermore, a potential mechanism for the photodegradation process of the synthesized photocatalyst has been proposed. This work not only offers new perspectives on in situ fine-tuning strategies for Bi-based photocatalysts but also demonstrates the potential of low-cost metallic Bi as a viable alternative to noble metals for enhancing photocatalytic performance.

Direct utilization of low-concentration CO 2 is of importance to mitigate the global warming and reduce energy consumption. Herein, a new bi-functional ionic liquid-grafted material was fabricated for CO 2 /N 2 selectivity and diluted CO 2 cycloaddition reaction. Following the preparation of 1-carboxymethyl-3-methoxy ethyl-imidazolium chloride ([CmMOEim]Cl) containing carboxyl and ether group, MIL-53(Al) was used for directly chemical grafting of the ionic liquid to obtain [CmMOEim]Cl@MIL-53(Al). CO 2 capture capacity of [CmMOEim]Cl@MIL-53(Al) reached up to 70 cm 3 CO 2 /g sorbent at 25 °C and 0.1 MPa, which was higher than that of two individual components. Cyclopropyl carbonate of 97 % yield was obtained at 110 °C, 3 MPa of initial 50 vol% CO 2 /N 2 pressure and 4 h with 2.4 wt% [CmMOEim]Cl@MIL-53(Al)-0.4 under solventless and co-catalyst-free condition. Various terminal cyclocarbonates were synthesized with above 90 % yield. In addition, the heterogeneous catalyst was separated from reaction system by simple centrifugation and the yield of cyclopropyl carbonate was higher than 90 % after 12 cycles owing to the chemical grafting of [CmMOEim]Cl on MIL-53(Al).

A ratiometric luminescent probe for detecting Bi(III) in water using a functionalized Eu(III) coordination polymer was developed. The raw materials guanosine monophosphate (GMP), Eu(III), and 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (DPA) were used to synthesize the GMP-Eu-DPA polymer, which contained Eu(III) coordinated with GMP and DPA and gave red emission at a wavelength of 614 nm when excited at a wavelength of 282 nm. Adding Bi(III) decreased the intensity of luminescence of the GMP-Eu-DPA coordination polymer at 614 nm and caused a GMP–Bi complex that strongly luminesced at 373 nm under excitation at 282 nm to form. Under optimal conditions, the luminescence intensity ratio I373/I614 had a good linear relationship with the Bi(III) concentration in the range 1.0–230 μM, and the detection limit was low (0.6 μM). The dual emission reverse rate of change luminescent probe can eliminate environmental influences, making the proposed detection method highly selective. This method has been successfully used to detect Bi(III) in water samples.

Artificial photosynthesis converting CO 2 into valuable compounds has garnered significant interest. However, the insufficient surface activity sites, weak adsorption capacity of CO 2 and poor electron-hole separation capability hinder CO 2 photoreduction used for practical implementation. Herein, Bi nanoparticles/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 composite photocatalyst (Bi/BOB) was designed constructed through in-situ reduction of bismuth metal on the surface of ultra-thin Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 nanosheets. Bi/BOB exhibits an excellent ability to reduce CO 2 to CO. The CO 2 reduction rate of the optimized Bi/BOB composite catalyst is 43.07 μmol·g −1 ·h −1 , which is significantly superior to other reported bismuth-based photocatalysts. Experimental characterization and Theoretical simulation calculation reveal that the in-situ reduction of bismuth metal causes significant local lattice distortion and uneven charge distribution, thereby producing a strong interaction between Bi nanoparticles and BOB support. So, it enhances the adsorption and activation of carbon dioxide molecules and reduces the Gibbs free energy barrier during the catalytic reaction. Moreover, the strong interaction helps to enhance the separation of photogenerated charge carriers and stability of catalysts. This study offers research suggestions for the interaction between metal and support to enhance CO 2 reduction.

Beyond phonon transport, non-propagating transport is also crucial for crystals to achieve ultra-low lattice thermal conductivity (κ L ) approaching the amorphous limitation. In our study, the demonstrated enhancement of phonon localization proves instrumental in achieving ultra-low κ L , offering an understanding of the role of non-propagating transport. We experimentally verified this principle through a meticulously designed vapor-liquid-solid reaction in Mg 3 (Sb,Bi) 2 -based materials. A remarkably low κ L of 0.19 W/mK at room temperature was obtained. This marked a 77% reduction, compared with full-density counterparts, and was attributed to enhanced localization involved in high-frequency phonons. Moreover, we achieved a record zT value close to 1.2 at room temperature, along with the highest average zT value of 1.6 from 300 to 573 K among all n-type materials. These remarkable results align precisely with electron-phonon decoupling through strengthening phonon localization for materials design and application, which underscores the pivotal role in thermal transport.

Bismuth (Bi) is considered a promising anode material for high-rate sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to its unique layered crystal structure which can easily insert/extract sodium-ion (Na + ). However, the cycle stability of micrometer Bi with great commercial potential needs to be improved. Because the large volume change occurs during alloying/dealloying of Bi and sodium (Na) resulting in the crack of Bi, which reduces the stability of the battery . Herein, we design a Bi/Bi 2 O 3 @C composite where a double-layer carbon coated commercial micrometer Bi/Bi 2 O 3 particles. The heat generated by Bi/Bi 2 O 3 particles under ultraviolet (UV) exposure (called photothermal effect) accelerates the decomposition rate of photoinitiator, which in turn improves the polymerization rate of the monomer on the surface of Bi/Bi 2 O 3 particles. So that, the surface of Bi/Bi 2 O 3 particles is coated with a dense polymer, while the polymer away from the particle is relatively loose, thus forming a dense-loose double-layer carbon during the annealing process . The dense carbon layer can effectively protect against the volume effect of Bi/Bi 2 O 3 , and the loose carbon layer can provide channels for the transport of Na + . As a result, Bi/Bi 2 O 3 @C exhibits excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention rate of 94.5 % after 1600 cycles at 10 A g −1 .

Exploring a responsive cascaded amplifier of bi-recycled strand displacement ( b SD) and mismatch-mediated hairpin assembly ( m HA) might be intriguing for constructing sensitive electrochemical biosensor. The proof-of-concept example for operating b SD started with the design of a recognizable hairpin encoding three functional modules, including specific complement, contiguous Nt.BbvCI site, and locked primer-matchable fragment. Upon introducing a targeted short-stranded oligonucleotide segment, b SD events were activated to execute repetitive strand elongation and nicking-mediated displacement reaction, generating a target analogue to implement similar affinity recognition for cooperative autocatalysis. This progress efficiently guided the production of numerous analogues for unfolding a metastable double-stem hairpin structure, and rationally induced progressive m HA via cross-opening and sequential hybridization between two functional hairpins, in one of which the inclusion of a mismatched base was beneficial for driving b SD- m HA cascade faster forward. As such, the labeled electroactive ferrocene (Fc) tags were orderly anchored in the resulting long linear product, thereby achieving significant amplification of current signal and highly sensitive detection down to femtomole. Compared with conventional hairpin assembly, our b SD- m HA-based logic operation substantially improved the transduction reaction kinetics, showing about 4.6-fold increment of reaction rate, while higher amplification yield emerged at lower trigger was more superior than b SD or m HA alone. Thus, this cascade-amplifying strategy would suggest a new paradigm to create robust and cost-effective electrochemical biosensors for applicable biosensing and bioassay.
