Bi-functional electrocatalysts are desired for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). Herein, facile O 2 -plasma activation is introduced to improve the bi-functionality via constructing nickel sulfide-oxide heterostructures . Ni 3 S 2 -NiO x supported by nickel foam delivers obviously elevated HER and OER activity in comparison with pristine Ni 3 S 2 and recently reported NiS x -based electrocatalysts , featured by the low overpotentials for HER (104 mV) and OER (241 mV) at ±10 mA cm −2 in 1.0 M KOH, as well as a voltage of 1.52 V for overall water splitting. As revealed by in-situ Raman spectroscopy , on the one hand, Ni(OH) 2 generated from Ni 3 S 2 during alkaline HER accelerates water dissociation toward the gradually improved performance; on the other hand, this heterostructure undergoes extensive oxidation during OER, leading to excessive NiOOH covering on Ni 3 S 2 and thereby declining activity. These changes are interpreted by the distinct thermodynamic relationship under specific electrochemical conditions via density functional theory calculations.

Lead-free double perovskites (DPs) have outstanding luminescent properties, which make them excellent candidates for wide use in optoelectronics. Herein, a solvent-free melting-crystallization technique, which can produce kilogram-scale DP microcrystals (DP-MCs) in one batch, is invented to synthesize the Cs2NaxAg1–xInCl6: Bi (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1) DP-MCs. The structure and composition analysis confirmed the products are pure Cs2NaxAg1–xInCl6 DP-MCs. Affected by Jahn–Teller distortion of AgCl6 octahedra, self-trapped excitons appear in the excited state, resulting in the broadband emission (400–850 nm) of Cs2Ag1–xNaxInCl6: Bi DP-MCs. The enhancement of the photoluminescence quantum yield can be realized by introducing Na+ to break the parity-forbidden transition in the Cs2AgInCl6 DP. Optimized Cs2Na0.4Ag0.6InCl6: Bi DP-MC phosphors combined with commercial blue and green phosphors were coated on ultraviolet chips (365 nm) to fabricate white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) from warm white (2930 K) to cold white (6957 K). An ultrahigh color rendering index of 97.1 and a CCT of 5548 K as well as Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage color coordinates of (0.331, 0.339) have been demonstrated. This kilogram-scale synthesis technique could stimulate the industrial development of WLEDs for general lighting based on DP-MC phosphors.

Optical antibacterial agents present great potential in eliminating infectious pathogens. It is of great significance to construct effective photonic antibacterial agents with outstanding light absorption properties. Herein, 2D engineering defect nanosheets BiOI/Bi with Bi decoration and defect engineering (BiOI-DE) are constructed to perform photonic sterilization. On the one hand, the rational designed BiOI-DE can effectively promote the broad-spectrum light absorption ability to enhance the light utilization rate. On the other hand, the substantive structure can simultaneously harvest the enhanced photonic carriers and thermal effect when irradiated with high penetration ability NIR, further exhibiting higher activity in killing Escherichia coli (E. coli) than that of single BiOI with poor light absorption. The sterilization efficiency is over 99%. Moreover, the causes of the photothermal effect are discussed, indicating that the change of BiOI bandgap and surface bismuth decoration displays a critical role in enhancing light absorption and creating heat energy. In the meantime, the structural advancement of BiOI-DE effectively improves the photocatalytic activity, the synergistic photothermal-catalytic process establishes a favorable condition for improving antibacterial performance. This system provides rational design and potential inspiration for high efficient antibacterial strategy by employing defect engineering approaches.

Graphical Networking at its best : The 3D self-supporting nanonetwork structure of Cu−Bi aerogels provides abundant reactive sites and electron transport channels for efficient electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to formate. The electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 (CO 2 RR) to CO, formate, methane, and other high-value compounds is a promising technique. However, current electrocatalysts suffer from drawbacks such as few active catalytic sites, poor selectivity and low stability, etc, which restrict the practical application. Although monatomic metal catalysts have been widely reported in recent years, high performance non-noble metal aerogels were rarely investigated for electrocatalytic CO 2 RR. Herein, Cu−Bi aerogels with boosted CO 2 RR activity were well constructed by a simple one-step self-assembly method. The resultant Cu 1 Bi 2 exhibits excellent CO 2 RR activity with high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 96.57 % towards HCOOH at a potential of −0.9 V vs. RHE, and the FE HCOOH remains over 80.18 % in a wide potential window (−0.8 V to −1.2 V vs. RHE). It demonstrated that the enhanced CO 2 RR activity of Cu−Bi aerogels could be attributed to the 3D self-supporting structure of the catalysis, synergistic effect, and low interfacial charge transfer resistance.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are highly promising energy-harvesting devices that exhibit considerable potential for use in self-powered wearable electronics. Nano/microfillers and surface microstructure modification have been proposed to improve the triboelectric performance of TENGs. In this work, performance-enhanced flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was developed through bi-material (reduced graphene oxide/fluorinated ethylene propylene, rGO/FEP) modification and filtration-membrane-patterned surface microstructure. The rGO/FEP with high charge-inducing and -trapping capabilities can be used as the dielectric-enhanced filler for improving triboelectricity. Ordered micro-dents of 5–50 µm are created on the modified PDMS surface with an increased contact area of TENG. Compared with the pure PDMS, the modified PDMS film-based TENG could deliver a substantial enhancement in power density (0.87 mW cm −2 ) by 28 times. Further, the versatility of this device is demonstrated in human activity monitoring and capacitor charging. This work provided a simple, high-tunability, and scalable approach for improving the output performance of TENGs for biomechanical energy-harvesting devices that can be integrated into self-powering wearable electronics.

Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 (ERCO 2 ) is an effective way to convert CO 2 into useful chemical products. However, most catalysts used for ERCO 2 show poor selectivity and stability. Here, we design a Bi 8 Eu 1 bimetallic catalyst, which exhibits both excellent stability (>400 h) and Faradaic efficiency for formate production (∼100% at − 0.89 V RHE ). Moreover, high Faradaic efficiency (>97%) is observed over a wide potential window (from − 0.89 V RHE to − 1.19 V RHE ). In a flow-cell, the Bi 8 Eu 1 catalyst shows an ultra-high current density of 250 mA cm −2 at − 0.77 V RHE . Density functional theory calculations indicate that the Bi-Eu interactions activate the Bi sites for strongly stabilizing *OCHO intermediates, thus promoting the conversion of CO 2 to formate. This work provides insights into the design of excellent electrocatalysts for ERCO 2 with improved activity and durability.

In this study, a bifunctional photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on Bi/Bi 2 S 3 /BiVO 4 (Bi-BSV) is prepared by one-step hydrothermal method . Firstly, the results from experiments show that the PEC performances of Bi 2 S 3 /BiVO 4 -X (BSV-X, X = m(Bi 2 S 3 )/m(Bi 2 S 3 + BiVO 4 )) are higher than those of Bi 2 S 3 and BiVO 4 , and BSV-15% has the highest PEC performance. To further improve the PEC properties of BSV-15%, metal-Bi was introduced to the synthesis of Y-Bi-BSV-15% (Y represents the amount of glucose added). Moreover, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV–vis DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) demonstrate that 0.3-Bi-BSV-15% has the widest visible light absorption range and strongest photogenerated carriers separation capability among all composites. Based on the above results, the PEC sensor based on the 0.3-Bi-BSV-15% for detecting hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is built. The results exhibit that 0.3-Bi-BSV-15% has a wider detection range of 2–230 µM and a lower detection limit of 0.094 µM for Cr (VI) detection. While for H 2 O 2 detection, the detection range and detection limit are 1–130,000 µM and 0.089 µM, respectively. Therefore, 0.3-Bi-BSV-15% has potential application in Cr (VI) and H 2 O 2 detection.

Generally, bi-functionalal electrocatalysts used for overall water splitting (OWS) have good hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, RuSe 2 /MoO x composite (RSMC) is constructed through a simple and convenient solid phase reaction (SPR) strategy, and is further studied as a potential electrocatalyst for OWS. At first, we prepared RuO 2 /MoSe 2 composite (RMC) precursor. When the RMC was heat-treated in a N 2 atmosphere, the SPR occurred between RuO 2 and MoSe 2 . Therefore, RMC was converted into RuSe 2 /MoO x composite (RSMC) in-situ , accompanied by the formation of oxygen vacancies (V O ) in the MoO x phase. In this work, the overpotential of RSMC-500 (prepared by annealing the RMC precursor at 500 °C in a N 2 atmosphere) at 10 mA cm −2 under alkaline conditions (1 M KOH) are 58 (HER) and 270 mV (OER), respectively. When using RSMC-500 as anode and cathode materials to make an electrolytic cell , a low cell voltage of 1.57 V is required under alkaline condition to achieve the current density of 10 mA cm −2 . The good performance shows the potential application of RSMC-500 in the field of renewable and clean energy area.

The surface properties of a photocatalyst play a pivotal role in maximizing the H2O2 generation efficiency of the photocatalyst system, especially in spurring the surface catalytic reactions and inhibiting the decomposition of H2O2. Herein, a series of Bi/BiOBr-X (X = 1, 2, and 3) photocatalysts co-modified with metal Bi and oxygen vacancies were obtained by a one-step solvothermal method using mannitol as a solvent and a reducing agent. Both Bi modification and the introduction of OVs have important influence on extending the light absorption range, enhancing charge carrier separation and suppressing the recombination of charge carriers as confirmed by UV-vis DRS, EIS, and PL characterization. Besides, the introduction of OVs can lead to an upward shift of CB minimum, which results in a stronger reduction ability of the photogenerated electrons, facilitating the reaction of the photogenerated electrons with molecular oxygen to produce superoxide ions. Meanwhile, the deposition of Bi nanoparticles on the surface of BiOBr nanosheets can significantly inhibit the decomposition of H2O2. Benefiting from the synergetic effect of Bi modification and the introduction of OVs, the as-prepared photocatalysts showed enhanced H2O2 production activity as high as 100.9 mM h−1 g−1. The present work not only marks a significant advancement in photocatalytic H2O2 production technology, but also provides a feasible idea and strategy for photocatalytic production of clean and renewable energy.

Abstract Coupling CO2 reduction with thermodynamically favorable anodic oxidation offers a promising route for lowering the energy demand of paired electrosynthesis. Herein, we report a bismuth-based paired electrosynthesis system (Bi NSs/CF || Bi/NF-20) for the simultaneous coproduction of high value formate at both electrodes via cathodic CO2 reduction (CO2RR) and anodic methanol oxidation (MOR). Crucially, these self-supported electrodes are rationally constructed through a spontaneous galvanic replacement strategy, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional energy intensive fabrication. Consequently, the integrated two-electrode electrolyzer operates stably at 3 V for 50 h, yielding a combined FE exceeding 185% and impressive production capacities of more than 400 g kWh–1. Combined in situ Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that the intrinsic electronic properties of the Bi NSs/CF facilitate the rate-determining step by lowering the *OCHO formation barrier, and elucidate the dynamic evolution of active sites during the MOR. This study offers a compelling strategy for designing integrated electrolyzers toward CO2 valorization with high atom economy.

All-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) with high power density is urgent in energy storage area. This study investigated the impact of Ti 3 C 2 T X /Bi as catalyst on VRFB performance at high current density . The Ti 3 C 2 T X /Bi decorated electrode was prepared based on a facile dropping method. Owing to the synergistic effect between Bi and Ti 3 C 2 T X , the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is effectively inhibited and the electrochemical activity towards V 2+ /V 3+ redox reaction is enhanced. With the current densities ranging from 100 mA·cm −2 to 220 mA·cm −2 , VRFB equipped with Ti 3 C 2 T X /Bi modified graphite felt shows the best rate performance. Furthermore, at a current density of 200 mA·cm −2 , the battery with Bi and Ti 3 C 2 T X modified electrode shows the highest capacity retention rate of 70.3 % after 100 charge-discharge cycles and the highest energy efficiency (EE) of 80.1 %.

To investigate thermal shock properties of melamine cyanurate (MCA) for molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) exfoliation, the MoS 2 -MCA superlattice is prepared through self-assembly of pristine MoS 2 , cyanuric acid (CA) and melamine (MA) in water solution. The prepared MoS 2 -MCA is heated in tubular furnace with controlled temperature to obtain two-dimensional (2D)-MoS 2 precursor. Their morphologies are characterized by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained 2D-MoS 2 precursor shows a high specific surface area at 336.90 m 2 /g due to bi-layer MoS 2 . TEM and atomic force microscope (AFM) images of 2D-MoS 2 N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solution further confirm the bi-layer MoS 2 exfoliation. The above results prove that MCA is a good thermal shock agent for MoS 2 exfoliation. And the prepared 2D-MoS 2 precursor could also be a good solid reservoir.
