Nanozymes have been valuable tools in colorimetric analysis due to their ease of production, long-term stability, and adaptable enzymatic activity, enabling them to induce color changes in substrates. This study presents a straightforward enzyme-based colorimetric sensor for morphine ( MOR ) detection. The sensor utilized the laccase-like activity of a self-synthesized Cu, Bi-phosphotungstic acid ( Cu, Bi-PTs ) nanozyme, which was loaded with phosphotungstic acid, copper, and bismuth through a one-pot microwave method. This nanozyme was capable of catalyzing the coupling reaction of 2,4-dichlorophenol ( 2,4-DP ) and 4-aminoantipyrine ( 4-AP ), leading to the conversion of colorless phenolic compounds into red-colored products. The method demonstrated a detection limit of 1.88 μg/mL for MOR and a linear dynamic range from 3.333 to 400 μg/mL. The calibration curve, given by the equation y = 0.0015x + 0.4081, exhibited excellent linearity (R 2 = 0.9914), confirming the method's reliability for quantitative analysis. The developed colorimetric method was successfully applied to real samples, showing relative standard deviations (RSD) between 1.4 and 4.3% for MOR detection. These results demonstrated that the method was sensitive, cost-effective, and rapid, making it suitable for the efficient determination of MOR .

Owing to the non-toxicity and low cost, Mg 3 Sb 2 -based Zintls are promising candidates for mid-temperature thermoelectric applications. However, the thermoelectric performance of p-type Mg 3 Sb 2 is significantly lower than that of n-type ones. Here, we achieve simultaneous optimization of the band structure and enhanced phonon scattering through the combined doping of Na at the cation site and Bi at the anion site, leading to a competitive figure of merit, ZT of 0.73 at 773 K and a maximum theoretical energy conversion efficiency of 6.5 % at a temperature difference of 450 K. First-principles calculations indicate that Na and Bi co-doping effectively narrows the band gap and shifts the Fermi level into the valence band, thereby increasing the hole carrier concentration. This ensures a relatively high Seebeck coefficient and improved electrical conductivity, resulting in an excellent power factor of 7.5 µW cm −1 K −2 . Additionally, by adjusting the amount of Bi nanoprecipitates in the matrix, the heterogeneous interfaces significantly enhance phonon scattering and markedly reduce the lattice thermal conductivity (0.52 W m −1 K −1 ), collectively leading to the high thermoelectric performance. Furthermore, by pairing n-type Mg 3.18 Y 0.02 Sb 1.5 Bi 0.49 Se 0.01 , a double-leg thermoelectric device achieves an energy conversion efficiency of 4.1 % with a temperature difference of 390 K.

The current conventional photo-therapeutic agents often show low therapy efficacy because of their single treatment model, the limited penetration depth of excitation light and hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Herein, a new type of phthalocyanine manganese (MnPcE 4 ) photosensitizer with strong NIR absorption was designed and fabricated for the first time, and was used to modify pure Bi nanomaterials to obtain an intelligent multifunctional Bi/MnPcE 4 nanocomposites . The Mn 2+ in the Bi/MnPcE 4 nanocomposite could catalyze H 2 O 2 to generate O 2 , thus helping to overcome TME hypoxia and enhancing the photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. Further, the nanocomposites showed excellent T 1 -weighted MRI performance. Our novel use of a pure metal Bi core, offers lower toxicity, higher CT imaging performance , and a photothermal therapy (PTT) effect triggered by 808 nm near infrared (NIR) laser. Moreover, in vivo fluorescence imaging ( in vivo FL) vividly showed that the nanocomposite rapidly accumulates in tumor sites due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect and metabolized in the organs. The presence of Bi enables the use of these nanocomposites as a CT contrast agent, and the Mn content enables them to be used in MRI. This triple imaging ability implies that our nanocomposites have a high potential for use in imaging directed tumor therapy.

LiMn 2 O 4 -based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted considerable attention due to their cost advantage, but industrial use has been hindered by severe capacity deterioration during cycling with LiPF 6 -based carbonate electrolytes, especially under high-temperature (55 °C) cycling conditions. Herein, a bifunctional, Janus-faced, inorganic-organic hybrid separator is demonstrated to ensure long-term cycling reversibility of LiMn 2 O 4 ||graphite LIBs. The monolithic all-nanomat separator is constructed by a bottom layer of poly ( m -phenylene isophthalamide) nanofibers by electrospinning and a top layer of interpenetrating hydroxyapatite/bacterial cellulose fibers . Benefiting from such a unique Janus configuration, the as-formed separator exhibits synergistic coupling in functions, simultaneously scavenging trace acid and mitigating the dissolution/deposition of Mn 2+ ions in batteries. Consequently, the cells with the Janus separator achieve enhanced capacity retention compared with traditional cells with the commercial polyolefin separator over 100 cycles at 55 °C. Furthermore, bulk structure and surface chemistry characterizations confirm that irreversible structural change in the LiMn 2 O 4 cathode could be avoided, and the amount of manganese on the graphite anode from the cycled cells with the Janus separator is suppressed. This work demonstrates that a composite Janus all-nanomat separator offers an unexpected route towards highly durable LiMn 2 O 4 -based LIBs.

Orbital engineering is an important strategy for modulating light absorption in photocatalysis . Here, Bi doping of the oxide photocatalyst Li 2 SnO 3 to enhance light absorption was rationally designed by orbital engineering. Based on density functional theory, owing to the lower Bi 6s energy level compared with that of Sn 5s, a deep impurity energy level induced by ionic Bi–O bonds is generated in the middle band gap of Li 2 SnO 3 . The impurity energy level can facilitate the utilization efficiency of light absorption, leading to remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance. For Li 2 Sn 0.9 Bi 0.1 O 3 , the photodegradation rate of tetracycline solution reached 76% within 30 min, which was approximately 2.6 times higher than that for Li 2 SnO 3 . A radical trapping experiment revealed that the holes (h + ) play a dominant role in the elimination reaction . Finally, liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was performed to monitor the photocatalytic process. This study lays a foundation for rational design of photocatalysts with excellent light absorption for photocatalysis .

Controlling the shuttling of lithium polysulphides (LiPS) to enhance the utilization of elemental sulfur has been considered as an important issue to improve the energy density and coulombic efficiency of lithium–sulfur batteries. The present work is aimed at demonstrating a simple preparation of a bi-functional trilayer membrane by coating Li7La3Zr2O12 and activated carbon on either side of the commercial membrane (Celgard 2320). The coated membrane was characterized by ionic conductivity, thermogravimetric and contact angle analyses. In the trilayer membrane, each component acts for a particular purpose: the activated carbon not only acts as a barrier for the migration of polysulfide but also provides additional pathways for electron transport for the insulating sulphur cathode, while the porous Celgard separator facilitates the migration of lithium ion, and the Li7La3Zr2O12 not only promotes the lithium ion migration by percolation but also prevents polysulfide shuttling via the electrostatic repulsive force. The coated membrane offered higher ionic conductivity and thermal stability compared to the uncoated one. The lithium–sulfur battery with the coated separator delivered higher specific discharge capacity than the uncoated separator. XPS studies revealed the absence of polysulfide deposition on the lithium metal surface after the charge–discharge cycling, which further confirms the suppression of polysulfide shuttling by permselective membranes.

Meliorating the particle surface could alter the surface properties, thus potentially enhancing the electrode reactions. In this assignment, a recovery of the intrinsic nanostructure at La 1.2 Sr 0.8 Ni 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 4+δ (LSNM) particle surface with the elimination of the bi-shell nano-surface layers caused by dopant segregation was attempted based on the lower powder calcination temperature and introduction of A-site cation deficiency. The A-site deficient (La 1.2 Sr 0.8 ) 0.9 Ni 0.5 Mn 0.5 O 4+δ [D-LSNM], accompanied with no phase separation on surface, is successfully obtained, in which the smaller particles and more oxygen vacancies would promote the electrocatalysis, oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen migration, thus boosting the electrode reactions. The surface nanostructure-recovered D-LSNM cathode achieves a preeminent performance with power output of 1547 and 1030 mW cm −2 at 700 and 600 °C, being better than other K 2 NiF 4 -type R-P cathodes in the literature. Anyhow, the preferable cell performance along with the fine stability suggests that the original surface-nanostructured D-LSNM is a promising cathode alternative for low-temperature proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells. This work provides a new kind of reverse thinking to design highly catalytically active cathode materials via the restoration of the intrinsic nanostructure at surface, which would be beneficial to the related electrocatalytic fields.

Regulating the electronic structure of Bi-based materials by alloying engineering is promising to promote the electrocatalytic activity, but it remains some challenges to be solved. In this study, a facile electrochemical co-deposition strategy is developed to synthesize the bimetallic Bi 9 Cu 1 alloy nanosheet on carbon cloth (Bi 9 Cu 1 /CC), which represents a novel self-supporting electrode for the electrocatalytic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction reaction (CO 2 RR). The Bi 9 Cu 1 /CC catalyst has achieved a remarkable catalytic performance with high Faradaic efficiencies (FE) of over 90% for formate at wide potentials from −0.7 to −1.2 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). Moreover, the reversible Zn-CO 2 battery can be driven by Bi 9 Cu 1 /CC cathode with a largest power density of 1.4 mW·cm −2 , and superior operating stability. The systematic characterizations and electrochemical results confirm that the improved catalytic active sites, the enhanced mass/charge transport and the optimal reaction kinetics of Bi nanosheet are realized for CO 2 RR by Cu alloying. In situ attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR-IR) result confirms the bimetallic Bi-Cu active sites prefer to follow the ⋆OCHO conversion pathway. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the Cu alloying contributes to the increased density of states near the Fermi surface of Bi and the optimized adsorption of ⋆OCHO intermediates on the Bi sites, resulting in the excellent catalytic performance.

Based on the calculated results of band structures and density of states, Bi doping is used to adjust its carrier concentration in order to obtain n-type PbTe materials with high power factor. Then, coherent nanophase Cu 1.75 Te is in situ formed in the n-type PbTe matrix, which can simultaneously optimize the thermal and electrical properties. As a result, at a relative lower temperature than other reports, the highest ZT value of 1.4 is obtained at 623 K for the nominal Pb 0.995 Bi 0.005 Te+0.86 wt% Cu 1.75 Te sample. More importantly, the ZT hold a higher value in the broad temperature; especially, ZT value is about 1.2–1.4 in the temperature range of 573–773 K, which is beneficial to the significant average ZT value ZT ave ∼ 0.9 in the temperature range of 300–773 K. These results indicate that it is an effective and feasible method to enhance the thermoelectric properties via synergistic modulation of electrical and thermal transport properties by element doping and in situ coherent nanophase.

Metallic bismuth as a promising anode for alkali metal-ion batteries has attracted great attentions because of superb volumetric capacity (3800 mA h cm −3 ) and suitable working voltage plateaus (∼0.5 V). However, Bi anode suffers from large volume change during repeated cycling, resulting in poor cycle performance. In this contribution, Bi nanoparticles embedded in N-doped carbon materials (Bi@N-C) are designed and fabricated by one-step pyrolysis method. Thanks to the synergistic effects of Bi nanoparticles and the N-doped carbon framework, the elaborately designed Bi@N-C can not only reduces the ion/electron diffusion pathways and enhances the reaction kinetics, but can also availably inhibits the agglomeration of Bi particles, and effectively alleviates the volume fluctuation. As an anode material , the Bi@N-C exhibits advanced rate capability (219 mA h g −1 at 5 A g −1 ) and excellent stable cycle ability (307 mA h g −1 at 1 A g −1 , after 400 cycles) in sodium-ion batteries. Furthermore, the Bi@N-C anode also exhibit good stable cycle ability (240 mA h g −1 at 1 A g −1 , after 70 cycles) in potassium-ion batteries. This study provides a facile and environmentally friendly way for fabricating high performance Bi anodes towards SIBs and PIBs.

In this paper, a MoS2/Rh–P bi-compound heterogeneous cocatalyst is developed to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting performance of a p-Si photocathode. Compared with the single cocatalysts (MoS2 and Rh–P), the bi-compound heterogeneous cocatalyst MoS2/Rh–P on the p-Si photocathode surface exhibits a much better hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity at the electrode/electrolyte interface, which is attributed to the synergistic electronic effect between MoS2 and Rh–P materials. Meanwhile, the TiO2 layer could serve as a linker between p-Si and the surface cocatalyst to optimize the interface energy, further promoting the photocarrier transfer process within the system. Thus, the as-prepared p-Si–TiO2–MoS2/Rh–P photocathode exhibits excellent PEC performance with a high photocurrent density of −24.1 mA cm−2 at 0 V (vs. RHE) and a positive onset potential of 0.43 V (vs. RHE). And the bi-compound heterogeneous cocatalyst provides a feasible strategy for boosting the PEC hydrogen evolution.

The effect of nominal Na/Bi ratio on the microstructure and electrical conductivity of A-site fully stoichiometric sodium bismuth titanates , Na 0.5+ x Bi 0.5− x TiO 3− δ , was investigated in this study. Bulk samples with x = 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.1 were prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. The as-calcined powders primarily exhibited the perovskite structure, which was identified by X-ray diffraction. Electron microscopic investigation of the sintered samples, however, revealed the presence of secondary phases, the amounts of which were found to increase with increasing Na/Bi ratio. Further elemental analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy indicated that the secondary phases were mainly composed of sodium titanates with different Na/Ti ratios. The grain bulk and grain boundary conductivities of Na 0.5+ x Bi 0.5− x TiO 3− δ , measured by two-probe AC electrochemical impedance spectroscopy , significantly increased with increasing Na/Bi ratio when x ≤ 0.03, but remained almost constant at higher x . The synergetic effect of oxygen vacancy creation, grain size reduction, and secondary phase formation on the variation in the conductivity upon increasing the nominal Na/Bi ratio in Na 0.5+ x Bi 0.5− x TiO 3− δ was discussed.
