A novel zinc sulfide quantum dot (ZnS QD)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosphere/bismuth-enriched bismuth oxyiodide (Bi 4 O 5 I 2 ) tandem heterojunction photocatalyst is fabricated through two-step solvothermal, calcination and one-step hydrothermal strategies. The successfully constructed core-shell nanostructure can increase the interface area and the active sites of the composite photocatalysts. The formation of a Z-scheme/Type-II tandem heterojunction favors the transfer and spatial separation of charge carriers, in which Bi 4 O 5 I 2 plays a bridging role to connect ZnO and ZnS. Simultaneously, the participation of Bi 4 O 5 I 2 significantly shortens the band gap of the composite photocatalyst. This dual functional ZnO@Bi 4 O 5 I 2 /ZnS composite photocatalyst has a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 578.4 µmol g −1 h −1 and an excellent photocatalytic degradation efficiency for bisphenol A (BPA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP). In addition, cycling tests show that ZnO@Bi 4 O 5 I 2 /ZnS has a high stability, which is favorable for practical applications. This novel ZnO@Bi 4 O 5 I 2 /ZnS Z-scheme/Type-II tandem heterojunction photocatalyst will provide new ideas for the multichannel charge transfer of other highly efficient heterojunction photocatalysts.

Zinc bismuthate/bismuth oxide nanocomposites have been prepared by one-step precipitation method. Zinc bismuthate/bismuth oxide nanocomposites were used as the electrode-modified materials for the benzoic acid electrochemical sensors. The electrochemical properties were analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetric (CV) method. The results show that the intensity of the CV peaks increases obviously with the increase of benzoic acid concentration and scan rate. The sensor based on the zinc bismuthate/bismuth oxide nanocomposites shows a low detection limit of 0.053 µM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, a wide linear range of 0.0002–2 mM, good reproducibility, and stability.

Optoelectronic science and 2D nanomaterial technologies are currently at the forefront of multidisciplinary research and have numerous applications in electronics and photonics. The unique energy and optically induced interfacial electron transfer in these nanomaterials, enabled by their relative band alignment characteristics, can provide important therapeutic modalities for healthcare. Given that nano-heterostructures can facilitate photoinduced electron–hole separation and enhance generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), 2D nano-heterostructure-based photosensitizers can provide a major advancement in photodynamic therapy (PDT), to overcome the current limitations in hypoxic tumor microenvironments. Herein, a bismuthene/bismuth oxide (Bi/BiOx)-based lateral nano-heterostructure synthesized using a regioselective oxidation process is introduced, which, upon irradiation at 660 nm, effectively generates 1 O 2 under normoxia but produces cytotoxic •OH and H 2 under hypoxia, which synergistically enhances PDT. Furthermore, this Bi/BiOx nano-heterostructure is biocompatible and biodegradable, and, with the surface molecular engineering used here, it improves tumor tissue penetration and increases cellular uptake during in vitro and in vivo experiments, yielding excellent oxygen-independent tumor ablation with 660 nm irradiation, when compared with traditional PDT agents.

Developing efficient and stable bismuth-based photoelectrodes is one of the key points for producing green hydrogen in photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC). In this study, a PFC system with two photoelectrodes (a MoS 2 /Bi 2 S 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 photoanode and a MoS 2 -Ni foam photocathode) was established for the first time. The ternary Bi 2 WO 6 -based composite photoanode was characterized as having not only the broad visible absorption region but also strong interactions between Bi 2 WO 6 , Bi 2 S 3 and MoS 2 . Additionally, the ternary composite photoanode exhibits excellent photoelectrochemical performance, achieving a photocurrent density reaches 3.2 mA/cm 2 , which is 17.78 times that of pure Bi 2 WO 6 . These observations can be explained by the creation of a type II/Z-scheme heterostructure of MoS 2 /Bi 2 S 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 photoanode. The Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulation proves the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction between MoS 2 and Bi 2 S 3 , which offers an opportunity for facilitating the mitigation and separation of photoexcited charge. The dual-photoelectrode PFC system demonstrated an effective hydrogen production capacity, exhibiting an output of 18.32 μmol/cm 2 /h. At the same time, the power density was 0.1325 mW/cm 2 , exhibiting a 1.41-fold increase relative to the MoS 2 /Bi 2 S 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 -Pt PFC system. This work offers a novel method for building effective PFC systems that co-produce electricity and hydrogen.

Stabilizing radioactive iodine in boron glass for disposal was the ultimate goal of this study. In this study, bismuth was used near a monument. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that bismuth could remarkably stabilize iodine atoms in boron glass (only 3.74% of the mass was lost at 850 °C). Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectrometry images showed that most of the AgI was uniformly immobilized in the glass network. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and NMR results confirmed the change in the coordination number of boron in the samples. The density functional theory calculation helped to understand the reason for the stable presence of iodine in boron glass. Iodine atoms were difficult to bond directly with boron atoms but tended to bond with bismuth atoms. From the spatial distribution of the structural molecular orbitals, it was observed that the bismuth atom releases electrons when stimulated, and the iodine atom needs to gain an electron to reach stability. At a low treatment temperature of 550 °C, the maximum density of the immobilized sample containing bismuth is 2.42 g·cm–3, and its iodine leaching rate at day 7 can be as low as 3.77 × 10–6 g·m–2·d–1. This study provides a way to improve the properties of boron glass microscopically in the future.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution is an exercisable way to achieve large-scale application of hydrogen energy. It is of great significance to develop an effect, stable, and cost-effective electrocatalyst. Here, we applied the two-dimensional (2D) bismuth (Bi) to the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution, and proposed the strategies to enhance the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Due to more active sites located along the edges of 2D structure, Bi nanosheets revealed a higher electrocatalytic activity (overpotential of −958 mV vs RHE at 10 mA cm −2 , Tafel slope of 122 mV/dec) than the bulk counterpart. To further evaluate the electrocatalytic performance of Bi nanosheets, the typical parameters measured in different H + concentration (C[H + ]) are carried out. The improved catalytic activity obtained in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 is attributed to enhancing the hydrogen adsorption and accelerating the charge transport on the surface of catalyst. Moreover, the durability of Bi nanosheets has been texted, where the current is not evident fluctuation during the 40,000 s electrolysis measurement indicating its excellent stability. The present work expands the application of Bi in the catalysis and provides the simple strategies to improve its hydrogen evolution performance.

Metallic Bi, as an alloying-type anode material, has demonstrated tremendous potential for practical application of potassium-ion batteries. However, the giant volume expansion, severe structure pulverization, and sluggish dynamics of Bi-based materials result in unsatisfied rate performance and unstable cycling stability. Here, 2D bismuth@N-doped carbon sheets with Bi O C bond and internal void space (2D Bi@NOC) are successfully fabricated via a self-template strategy to address these issues, which own ultrafast electrochemical kinetics and impressive long-term cycling stability for delivering an admirable capacity of 341.7 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at 10 A g −1 and impressive rate capability of 220.6 mAh g −1 at 50 A g −1 . Particularly, the in situ transmission electron microscopy observations visualize the real-time alloying/dealloying process and reveal that plastic carbon shell and void space can availably relieve dramatic volume stress and powerfully maintain structural integrity. Density functional theory calculation and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy test certify that the robust Bi O C bond is thermodynamically and kinetically beneficial for adsorption/diffusion of K + . This work will light on designing advanced high-performance energy materials and provide important evidence for understanding the energy storage mechanism of alloy-based materials.

In recent years, the excessive use of antibiotics has become a serious problem for human health. BiVO 4 regarded as one of the most promising visible-light-driven photocatalysts was used to degrade the antibiotics. In this paper, we fabricated Bi/BiVO 4 plasmonic photocatalysts which enhanced the photocatalytic activity of BiVO 4 for degradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic. The Bi/BiVO 4 photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy . In addition, the photocatalytic experiment results show that the 0.04-Bi/BiVO 4 sample has the best photocatalytic activity for 2 times than the pure BiVO 4 photocatalyst. The cycle experiments, after four repetitions of the experiments, showed the sample still maintained a high photocatalytic activity. Finally, the photocatalytic reaction mechanism was also studied by free radical capture experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy .

Graphical One electrode fits all : The polyanionic organic compound 9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate is used as a common cathode and metallic bismuth as a common anode to simultaneously assemble low-cost Na-ion and K-ion full cells. The Na-ion full cells deliver a peak discharge capacity of 139 mAh g −1 and the K-ion full cells can show a peak discharge capacity of 130 mAh g −1 at 0.5–3.0 V. Molecule-aggregation organic electrodes in principle have the capability for “single-molecule-energy-storage” in metal-ion rechargeable batteries, which indicates that the same organic electrode can be simultaneously applied to multiple metal-ion rechargeable batteries. In this study, the polyanionic organic compound 9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (Na 2 AQ26DS, 130 mAh g −1 ) is used as a common cathode and metal bismuth (Bi) as a common anode to simultaneously assemble low-cost Na-ion and K-ion full cells. The Na-ion full cells can deliver the peak discharge capacity of 139 mAh g −1 cathode at 0.5–3.0 V, and the K-ion full cells can show the peak discharge capacity of 130 mAh g −1 cathode at 0.5–3.0 V. These results are comparable to the best organic-based Na-ion and K-ion full cells reported to date.

Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel production, can be efficiently converted into valuable chemicals through electrocatalytic reaction. In this study, platinum (Pt) nanocrystals decorated on bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3 ) nanosheets (PtBi DONS) with an optimal Pt:Bi ratio of 1:1 were successfully synthesized using a galvanic replacement method. Pt 1 Bi 1 DONS exhibit remarkable electrocatalytic performance for glycerol electrooxidation, achieving an excellent catalytic activity (current of 0.82 A mg Pt –1 at 0.67 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE)) and an exceptional selectivity of 96.6% for C 3 products, particularly glyceric acid. The superior performance stems from two key factors: (1) electron transfer from Bi 2 O 3 to Pt creates electron-rich Pt sites that suppress C–C bond cleavage and (2) Bi 2 O 3 facilitates favorable glycerol adsorption configurations through multiple hydroxyl group interactions. Mechanistic studies using operando spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy revealed that the synergistic effect between Pt and Bi 2 O 3 promotes rapid charge transfer and stable intermediate formation. Moreover, PtBi DONS showed excellent versatility in oxidizing other polyols compared with monoalcohols.

Bi2Ru2O7 is a weak metal pyrochlore with static disorder from lone-pair electrons. The suppression of static disorder can be observed by in situ Raman spectroscopy, and the abnormal turning point in resistivity can be found at high pressure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of bismuth and ruthenium, low-temperature magnetic susceptibility, and magnetization curve were studied, indicating that there were different valence states between bismuth and ruthenium. The in situ high-pressure structure evolution and conductivity in Bi2Ru2O7 were investigated up to 30.4 and 32.7 GPa, respectively. The electronic structure evolution was studied by first-principles calculations up to 30.0 GPa. Some of the Raman peaks related to static disorder were suppressed at around 2.5 and 18.0 GPa, respectively. The [RuO6] octahedron was compressed and distorted with pressure, and the triangular distortion increased in the range of 18.0 and 24.4 GPa. The high-pressure resistivity was measured by the four probe method. It slowly decreased at first and then increased slowly after 2.5 GPa due to the effects of static disorder and the applying pressure. After 18.0 GPa, the resistivity increased rapidly because of the pressure-induced lattice distortion, which led to the weakening of the conductivity of the sample under high pressure. All observations showed that the lattice distortion was influenced by the combined effects of static disorder and pressure before 18.0 GPa, which caused the resistivity to decrease first and then increase. As static disorder is suppressed, Bi2Ru2O7 is close to standard pyrochlore and the conductivity after 18.0 GPa, which is consistent with the theoretical calculation results of band gap.
