Fluorescent materials have been widely used in the field of anti-counterfeiting, but traditional fluorescent patterns are static by design, which only offer a limited level of security for anti-counterfeiting encryption. Herein, we provide a novel dynamic anti-counterfeiting strategy by constructing a flexible, long afterglow film with Bi-activated Sr 3 Y 2 Ge 3 O 12 phosphors. Theoretical calculation indicates that the Sr 3 Y 2 Ge 3 O 12 garnet matrix with suitable energy bands shows high adaptability for Bi ions activator to produce long afterglow emission. Doping of Bi ions into the framework of Sr 3 Y 2 Ge 3 O 12 exhibits a blue luminescence centered around 469 nm. The afterglow intensity and decay time reach the optimal with Bi 3+ doping concentration of 0.75 mol%. Various characterizations show that the electron traps mainly come from oxygen vacancies in the long afterglow process, and a possible afterglow mechanism is also proposed. A flexible, long afterglow film prepared by compositing with Sr 3 Y 2 Ge 3 O 12 :Bi 3+ can be written into the image information by ultraviolet light and present a dynamic image in the form of afterglow. The information decryption could be further performed by thermal excitation. The results illustrate that the Bi-activated Sr 3 Y 2 Ge 3 O 12 flexible film is a potential luminescent material that can be used for dynamic anti-counterfeiting and encryption.

Composites with hierarchical structures have wide potential applications in the catalyst industry. In this paper, a self-assembled 3D flower-like architecture of the Bi/γ-Fe2O3 composite has been successfully synthesized without employing any surfactants and templates via a facile and economical hydrothermal method. Its formation process has been studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Raman spectroscopy techniques were used to monitor the formation process. The results demonstrate that the self-assembled 3D flower-like Bi/γ-Fe2O3 composite consists of a Bi metal nucleus and a γ-Fe2O3 shell. The Bi metal nucleus is identified to be an aggregate of Bi nanoparticles, while the γ-Fe2O3 shell results from the intercrossing of γ-Fe2O3 nanoslices. The time-dependent intermediate products in the self-assembly process were structurally characterized. The influence of concentration and the formation process have been carefully discussed. A possible formation mechanism has been proposed. By virtue of the structural understanding of the novel 3D flower-like Bi/γ-Fe2O3 composite, this work is expected to highlight its potential applications.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) represents a promising, noninvasive, and precise treatment modality for tumors, demonstrating significant potential in clinical applications. However, the efficiency of sonosensitizers in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) is often limited by rapid electron-hole recombination. In this study, BiF 3 @BiOI is synthesized via a co-precipitation method, followed by in-situ reduction to decorate it with Pt nanoparticles, resulting in BiF 3 @BiOI@Pt-PVP (BBP) nanocomposite for enhancing SDT efficacy. The formation of the BiF 3 @BiOI heterojunction enhances charge separation ability. The decoration of Pt nanoparticles narrows the bandgap and alters the band positions and Fermi level of BBP, which can effectively mitigate the rapid recombination of electron-hole pairs and facilitate a cascade reaction of ROS, thereby improving ROS generation efficiency with ultrasound excitation. Additionally, bismuth ions in BBP and the generated holes consume glutathione, exacerbating cellular oxidative damage, and triggering PANoptosis and ferroptosis. Furthermore, Pt nanoparticles demonstrate peroxidase-like activity, catalyzing endogenous hydrogen peroxide to oxygen. These functions are helpful against tumors for alleviating hypoxic conditions, reshaping the microenvironment, modulating immune cell infiltration capacity, and enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy. The dual strategy of forming heterojunctions and sensitization with noble metals effectively enhances the efficacy of sono-catalytic therapy-induced immune activation in tumor treatment.

Restructuring is an important phenomenon in catalytic reactions. Conversion-type materials with suitable redox potential may undergo in situ electrochemically driven restructurings and induce highly active catalytic sites in a working lithium–sulfur battery. Herein, driven by the electrochemical conversion reaction of BiVO4, a reversible catalytic cycle of Bi/amorphous Li3VO4 (a-Li3VO4) and Bi2S3/a-Li3VO4 heterojunctions is constructed, which targets the oxidation of Li2S and the conversion of polysulfide, respectively. The heterostructures and electrochemically driven size confinement provide abundant sites for shuttle restraining and sulfur conversion. Especially, the p-block Bi and Bi2S3 could dramatically reduce the conversion energy barriers of Li2S and polysulfide by virtue of the p–p orbital hybridization, promoting bidirectional reactions of the sulfur cathode. As a result, the corresponding sulfur cathode possesses a high reversible capacity of 7.5 mAh cm–2 after 120 cycles under a high sulfur loading of 10.3 mg cm–2 with a current density of 0.38 mA cm–2. This study furnishes a feasible scheme to obtain highly effective catalysts for bidirectional sulfur redox by utilizing the electrochemically induced restructuring.

The adhesion between heart and chest post-operation raises a significant challenge for the application of cardiac patches due to its severe influences on the recovery of heart function and increased risk of re-treatment. Anabatic inflammatory response and increased oxidative stress aggravate the damage to heart functions. Herein, a multi-functional cardiac patch was manufactured by successive electrospinning of two types of novel selenium-containing polyurethanes (PU), followed by click grafting of poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) molecules on the top layer. This patch possessed dual-functions of postoperative anti-adhesion and anti-oxidative stress for efficient therapy post myocardial infarction (MI). The high redox reactivity of diselenium bonds were introduced into the main chains of PU, which reduced the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and modulated the inflammatory environment, alleviating the synechia formation simultaneously. The cardiac patch could effectively resist fibroblast adhesion, regulate the expression of vinculin and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), and inhibit the synechia formation. Meanwhile, it also restored significantly the heart function post MI by decreasing the local inflammation, facilitating less collagen formation, and improving cell signal transduction and angiogenesis. Collectively, this novel patch achieved anti-adhesion and therapeutic effect synergistically, bringing advancement in cardiac patch design and potential for translation of medicinal devices.

Most of the existing single-component nanostructures cannot provide comprehensive diagnostic information, and their treatment strategies always have to combine other therapeutics as a complementary for effective biomedical application. Here, we adopted a facile approach to design a theranostic nanoflower (NF) with robust efficacy for comprehensive tumor diagnosis and quadruple synergistic cancer therapy. The NF is equipped with a metallic hybrid of several functional elements and flower-like superstructures and thus shows excellent in vitro and in vivo theranostic performance. It shows high X-ray attenuation coefficiency for the Bi element, strong near-infrared (NIR) plasmon absorbance and singlet oxygen (1O2) generation ability for the Mo element, and great photothermal conversion efficiency (54.7%) because of enhanced photoabsorption of the petal structure. Moreover, the NF realizes a very high doxorubicin-loading efficiency (90.0%) and bimodal pH/NIR-responsive drug release, posing a promise as a controlled drug carrier. The NF also shows excellent performance at trimodal magnetic resonance/X-ray computed tomography/photoacoustic imaging for comprehensive tumor diagnosis. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that integrating at least seven functions into one biomedical nanomaterial for well-rounded tumor theranostics has been reported. This “all-in-one” NF opens a new perspective in developing novel and efficient multifunctional nanotheranostics.

Lead-free vacancy-ordered quadruple perovskites have received extensive attention in optoelectronic applications. We study the optical properties and charge-carrier dynamics of Cs 4 Mn(Bi 1-x Sb x ) 2 Cl 12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) quadruple perovskite single crystals (SCs), which exhibit excellent stability and Mn 2+ -based photoluminescence (PL) emission. The ratio of Bi:Sb has a great influence on PL intensity. As the Bi 3+ content increases, the PL quantum yield (PLQY) shows a monotonically increasing trend and enhances by more than 40 times, attributed to larger energy difference between conduction band minimum and 4 T 1 state of Mn 2+ ions, weaker Mn-Mn coupling interaction due to longer Mn···Mn distance and smaller Jahn-Teller distortion, and lower carrier-phonon coupling. Moreover, Cs 4 Mn(Bi 1-x Sb x ) 2 Cl 12 nanocrystals were synthesized through top-down ultrasonic crushing method. The PL quenching of Cs 4 MnBi 2 Cl 12 nanocrystals compared to corresponding SCs arises from surface defect trapping. Our work provides an in-depth understanding of Mn 2+ -based PL mechanism.

The high theoretical capacity of Sb-based intermetallic alloys makes them attractive potential anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) with high energy density . However, their cycling stability is greatly restricted by the huge volumetric variations resulted from the intrinsic (de-)alloying mechanism. Herein, we demonstrate a unique lattice softening mechanism, which enables highly reversible sodium storage and stable cycling of the as-prepared Bi–Sb alloy/carbon nanofibers electrodes. Theoretical analyses show that the elastic modulus of Bi–Sb alloys is reduced whereas the toughness is enhanced by tuning the lattice chemistry of rhombohedral Bi–Sb alloys, which is of great importance in relieving the concentrated stress during the continuous (de-)sodiation processes. In-situ characterization and electrochemical evaluations demonstrate that the electrodes made of BiSb 3 /C nanofibers exhibit high anti-pulverization capability upon Na-cycling and extraordinary long-life cyclability. Specifically, a highly reversible capacity of 233.2 mAh g −1 at 2 A g −1 is achieved over 2500 cycles. Moreover, a full cell assembled with the pre-sodiated BiSb 3 /C anode and a Na 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 /C cathode delivers a high reversible capacity of 333.2 mAh g −1 at 0.2 A g −1 over 200 cycles. This present work provides further understandings and new solution for developing high-performance alloying-based anodes for SIBs.

SnO 2 -based materials are promising electrocatalysts for the conversion of CO 2 to formate however increasing their activity further is challenging due to the suboptimal CO 2 adsorption and activation capacity. The interfacial engineering has proven effective in modulating the electronic structure and adsorption behavior of electrocatalysts. Herein, a heterostructure Bi/SnO 2 was constructed for the CO 2 electroreduction to formate in which a formate Faraday efficiency of 94.9 % and single-pass carbon efficiency of 40.3 % were achieved at −1.0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 1.0 M KOH. During a 30-hour stability test, the current density was nearly constant without a significant decrease while the formate Faraday efficiency was maintained around 90 %. This remarkable activity is attributed to the strong electronic interaction arising from p–p orbital coupling at the Bi/SnO 2 interface, according to the experimental and theoretical investigations. The computational insights suggest that the p–p orbital coupling promotes the electron transfer from Bi to SnO 2 and optimizes the adsorption strength of the intermediate (*OCHO) to enhance the catalytic activity. The formation of *OCHO during formate generation was confirmed by the i n situ attenuated total reflectance surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy. This work might contribute key insights into the mechanisms underlying activity enhancement via strong electronic interaction between dual p- block metal catalysts.

In this study, bi-functions of surface adsorption and laccase like catalysis were integrated by the hybrid membranes of Cu-MOF (Cu-2MI) uniformly incorporated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for the first time, which endow an unexpected utility in surface physical adsorption and chemical catalytic engineering. In which, the loading of Cu-2MI was varied to optimize the surface performance of the membranes. The adsorption conditions were optimized based on batch adsorption experiments, and the adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics were discussed by using theoretical models to elucidate the adsorption mechanism. In addition, the laccase-mimicking catalytic performance of these Cu-2MI/PVDF hybrid membranes was explored based on the colorimetric reaction of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DP). The laccase-like catalytic kinetics, including K m and V max , were determined, and their catalytic stability under varying pH, temperature, organic solvents, and storage time was systematically tested and compared to that of free laccase. The maximum adsorption capacity of the obtained Cu-2MI/PVDF hybrid membrane for acid fuchsin (AF) is 4789.5 μg cm −2 . Moreover, the hybrid membrane exhibits a good linear relationship in the range of 5.0–750 μM in adrenaline detection, with a detection limit of 3.60 μM. This work highlights the exceptional surface activity and stability of the Cu-MOF/PVDF hybrid membranes, which ensure promising applicability in surface physical and chemical engineering.

A series of Bi-doped gadolinium iron garnet (Bi:GdIG) infrared-transparent ceramics were fabricated by a hot-press sintering process. The effects of Bi doping on the phase structure, microstructure and optical transmittance of GdIG ceramics were analyzed systematically. The grain size of Bi x Gd 3- x Fe 5 O 12 ( x = 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9) ceramic samples gradually decreased with the increase of Bi doping, and their optical transmittance gradually decreased, reaching about 70.7%, 62.9%, 56.9%, and 29.8% at 1550 nm, respectively. Meanwhile, the effects of Bi doping on the magnetic and magneto-optical properties of GdIG ceramics were investigated systematically. The saturation specific Faraday rotation angles ( θ F ) of the Bi x Gd 3- x Fe 5 O 12 ceramic samples reached about 51, −266, −595, and −968 deg./cm, respectively, which increased linearly with the increase of the Bi doping amount. The θ F increased by about 34 deg./cm for each 1 at% increase in the Bi doping amount, achieving comparable magneto-optical properties with Bi:GdIG single crystals produced by liquid phase epitaxy. It shows the bright prospects of Bi:GdIG ceramic materials in the field of magneto-optical applications.
