The optical and electronic properties of plasmonic semiconductor nanomaterials have attracted a lot of attention. In this study, sulfur vacancies was regulated to achieve carriers density of 10 17 ~ 10 23 cm −3 , with the characteristics of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Since the excitation of LSPR, the plasma electrons on the semiconductor surface are elevated to a higher energy state. These electrons can overcome the energy barrier between BS and Cd 0.5 Zn 0.5 S (CZS), directly transferred to the conduction band (CB) CZS components as electron donor. This effect may cause more electrons on the semiconductor CB to react with H 2 O to generate more hydrogen. By calculating the Debye length, the scale of the charge effect in the plasma is measured. It can be proved that LSPR is instrumental in the available separation of electrons and holes in semiconductors, and significantly improves the hydrogen production effect of CZS/BS-1.5 nanocomposites. This research furnishes new insights for the construction of efficient and novel polyphase photocatalysts.

A general ionic-assisted microwave-ultrasonic combined synthetic strategy was developed to fabricate Bi 2 E 3 (E = S, Se, and Te) hierarchitectures. To understand the crystal phase transformation and morphological evolution of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchical nanostructures, the fabrication of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was investigated by varying sulfidation time and chlorination time. A topotactic transformation from BiOCl microsphere to Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures was proposed. It was found that the structure, size, and morphology of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures could be delicately engineered by varying chlorination time, alkyl chain length, and concentration of ionic liquid. Moreover, the as-prepared Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures displayed superior capacity of Cr(VI) photoreduction to P25 and irregular Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures under visible light irradiation. Effects of morphology, pH value of reaction system, Cr(VI) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the Cr(VI) photoreduction capacity of Bi 2 S 3 hierarchitectures were also discussed. The enhancement of photoreduction capacity is not only attributed to the intrinsic good electron transfer ability of Bi 2 S 3 , but also to synergetic effects of special architectures, wide photoresponse range, high light photoadsorption, high BET surface area and good electron-hole separation performance. The systematic condition experiments and Cr(VI) photoreduction in electroplating and tannery wastewater experiments further demonstrated that the hierarchical Bi 2 S 3 nanospheres can be used in the actual Cr(VI)-containing wastewater treatment.

Lattice strain is a new strategy for promoting photocatalytic activity in order to source more sustainable energy. Vacancy-induced strain is an effective tactic for lattice deformation. Herein, a CdS/Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction structure containing sulfur vacancies (CdS/Bi 2 S 3 -V S ) is synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method. When there are sulfur vacancies in the Bi 2 S 3 lattice (Bi 2 S 3 -V S ), the surrounding atoms move toward sulfur vacancies. This phenomenon lengthens the bonds between surrounding atoms, resulting in tensile stress. Strain engineering adjusts the energy band structure to reduce the interface barrier height, thus effectively improving the interface charge transfer rate. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations explore the influence of different strain levels on the band structure and Gibbs free energy. The strain-regulated band structure provides a new approach and effectively reduce the interface barrier.

Mitochondria-targeted phototherapy, especially combined photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has been regarded as an attractive strategy for the treatment of tumor. In this study, a facile approach to prepare two-dimensional (2D) BiOCl-Bi 2 S 3 nanostructures was developed, where Bi 2 S 3 quantum dots were doped in/on the ultrathin BiOCl nanosheets , forming a p-n heterojunction . The BiOCl-Bi 2 S 3 shows favorable photothermal conversion efficiency (32%) and synergistically reactive oxygen species (ROS) generating capability under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Moreover, the conjugation of synthetic targeting ligand to the surface of BiOCl-Bi 2 S 3 endows the heterojunction effective tumor targeting ability and selective mitochondrial accumulation. The combined cancer targeting ability and synergistic PTT/PDT permit enhanced cooperative phototherapeutic efficiency of the 2D heterojunction. This study provides an attractive way for designing new class of heterostructure materials for potential applications in subcellular-targeted phototherapy.

Rechargeable magnesium-ion (Mg-ion) batteries have attracted wide attention for energy storage. However, magnesium anode is still limited by the irreversible Mg plating/stripping procedure. Herein, a well-designed binary Bi 2 O 3 -Bi 2 S 3 (BO-BS) heterostructure is fulfilled by virtue of the cooperative interface and energy band engineering targeted fast Mg-ion storage. The built-in electronic field resulting from the asymmetrical electron distribution at the interface of electron-rich S center at Bi 2 S 3 side and electron-poor O center at Bi 2 O 3 side effectively accelerates the electrochemical reaction kinetics in the Mg-ion battery system. Moreover, the as-designed heterogenous interface also benefits to maintaining the electrode integrity. With these advantages, the BO-BS electrode displays a remarkable capacity of 150.36 mAh g −1 at 0.67 A g –1 and a superior cycling stability. This investigation would offer novel insights into the rational design of functional heterogenous electrode materials targeted the fast reaction kinetics for energy storage systems.

Early identification and treatment of breast cancer is very important for breast conserving therapy and to improve the prognosis and survival rates of patients. Multifunctional nanotheranostic agents are of particular importance in the field of precise nanomedicine, since they can augment the visualization and treatment of cancer. We developed a novel Bi2S3 nanoparticle coated with a hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified tantalum oxide (TaOx) nanoshell (Bi2S3@TaOx-HA). The as-prepared core/shell nanoparticles exhibited a high Bi2S3 nanoparticle loading efficiency of (67 wt %). The TaOx nanoshell exhibited excellent biocompatibility and computed tomography imaging capacity, and the Bi2S3 nanoparticles exhibited an excellent photothermal transducing performance and computed tomography (CT) and photoacoustic imaging capacity. As a result of these merits, the Bi2S3@TaOx core–shell nanoparticles can act as a theranostic agent for CT/photoacoustically monitored enhanced photothermal therapy. These findings will evoke new interest in future cancer therapeutic strategies based on biocompatible functional nanomaterials.

A series of Bi 2 S 3 /(BiO) 2 CO 3 composite photocatalysts with different loadings of amorphous Bi 2 S 3 were successfully synthesized through an ultrasonic-assisted ion-exchange reaction between thioacetamide (CH 3 CSNH 2 ) and (BiO) 2 CO 3 , and characterized by XRD, XPS, BET, EELS, EDX, SEM, TEM/HRTEM, UV–Vis, and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. The results of TEM/HRTEM, EELS, and EDX indicate that the composite catalyst Bi 2 S 3 /(BiO) 2 CO 3 has been successfully synthesized with the deposited Bi 2 S 3 present in amorphous state on the surface of (BiO) 2 CO 3 . The activities of the catalysts for RhB degradation under visible light show that the catalyst prepared under ultrasonic is more active than the one synthesized without ultrasonic. The optimized sample Bi 2 S 3 /(BiO) 2 CO 3 (U5.0) exhibits a much higher activity, about 4.8 times to that of pure (BiO) 2 CO 3 . Based upon the band structures of Bi 2 S 3 /(BiO) 2 CO 3 , it is deduced that the migration of the visible light-induced electrons from the conduction band of Bi 2 S 3 to that of (BiO) 2 CO 3 should have facilitated the separation of photogenerated carriers, as confirmed by the suppressed photoluminescence spectra. Using different scavengers, the ·O 2
− and holes are clearly identified as the main oxidative species for RhB photodegradation. In light of these observations, a potential photocatalytic mechanism of RhB degradation over Bi 2 S 3 /(BiO) 2 CO 3 is proposed.

Constructing heterogeneous interfaces on a nanoscale that can prominently improve the gas-sensing properties has been comprehensively reported. However, the effect of parallel heterostructures formed by unique synthetic means on nitrogen dioxide room-temperature sensing properties still needs to be clarified, which hinders the development of heterostructured hybrid materials in the field of gas sensing. In this study, large-sized MoS2 was parallel-wrapped on the surface of nanoscale Bi2S3 rods, and then, the Bi2S3/MoS2 nanocomposite aerogels were formed by freeze drying and calcination. The NO2 sensing performance of the hybrids and possible surface processes at room temperature have been investigated and deduced. The as-prepared nanocomposite aerogels (Bi2S3/MoS2-2) exhibited a larger specific surface area, a mass of active defect sites, and a higher charge density, thus possessing 15- and 20-times higher response than that of pristine MoS2 nanosheets and Bi2S3 nanorods, respectively. This study provides an efficient way to synthesize large-area parallel heterostructures between two bis-sulfides (Bi2S3 and MoS2), leading to excellent NO2 gas sensing performance.

Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) molecule modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms were constructed by using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified Bi2S3 nanoparticles (∼4.6 nm) as a photothermal agent and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) coated Zn2Ga2.98Ge0.75O8:Cr0.023+ (ZGGO:Cr3+@CTAB) persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) through electrostatic adsorption. It is found that the above composite nanoplatforms have excellent laser-irradiation thermal stability and good photothermal conversion performance. The measured photothermal conversion efficiency is ∼44%, which is higher than that (∼37%) of the PLNP-GNR (gold nanorod) composite nanoplatforms. Meanwhile, PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms exhibited good solution dispersibility in blood and normal tissue environments. While reaching tumor sites, the above composite nanoplatforms can be rapidly accumulated in cancer cells with acidic environments. This pH-responsive acid-induced aggregation can be ascribed to the chemical reaction induced by the protonation of PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms with a negatively charged surface in the acidic environments. Our results suggest that PSS modified PLNP-Bi2S3 composite nanoplatforms might be applied to precision diagnosis and therapy of deep-tissue tumors.

Constructing tightly bound and highly dispersed heterointerfaces through epitaxial growth is a promising strategy for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of composite systems. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical flower-like BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction was fabricated via an acid vapor ion exchange method. The highly matched lattice parameters facilitated the transformation of the BiOBr substrate into Bi 2 S 3 through epitaxial growth, while the relatively mild reaction conditions at the gas-solid interface effectively preserved the initial morphological structure of the substrate. Benefiting from the expanded spectral response range, enhanced separation and migration efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and improved light utilization through complex scattering within the hierarchical structures, the BiOBr/Bi 2 S 3 heterojunctions demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic activity in the degradation of Rhodamine B and Tetracycline Hydrochloride, as well as in the reduction of Cr(VI). This strategy not only provides a novel approach for the construction of topological heterojunctions but also holds significant potential as a universal methodology, offering broad prospects for both research and practical applications.

The construction of Z-scheme photocatalyst materials mimicking the natural photosynthesis system provides many advantages, including increased light harvesting, spatially separated reductive and oxidative active sites and strong redox ability. Here, a novel Bi 2 S 3 nanorod@In 2 S 3 nanoparticle heterojunction photocatalyst synthesized through one-pot hydrothermal method for Cr 6+ reduction is reported. A systematic investigation of the microstructural and compositional characteristics of the heterojunction catalyst confirms an intimate facet coupling between (440) crystal facet of In 2 S 3 and (060) crystal facet of Bi 2 S 3 , which provides a robust heterojunction interface for charge transfer. When tested under visible-light irradiation, the Bi 2 S 3 –In 2 S 3 heterojunction photocatalyst with 15% Bi 2 S 3 loading content achieves the highest Cr 6+ photoreduction efficiency of nearly 100% with excellent stability, which is among the best-reported performances for Cr 6+ removal. Further examination using optical, photoelectrochemical, impedance spectroscopy, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy characterizations reveal greatly improved photogenerated charge separation and transfer efficiency, and confirm Z-scheme electronic structure of the photocatalyst. The Z-scheme Bi 2 S 3 –In 2 S 3 photocatalyst demonstrated here presents promise for the removal of highly toxic Cr 6+ , and could also be of interest in photocatalytic energy conversion.

Nanomaterials with intrinsic peroxidase-like activities are able to catalyze the oxidation of the substrate with the peroxide, which have been widely considered as artificial enzymatic agents in cancer therapy. However, current peroxidase catalytic oxidation treatments generating reactive oxygen species rely highly on hydrogen peroxide and pH, which limit greatly their therapeutic efficiency in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we report a strategy to construct the complex virus-like Fe3O4@Bi2S3 nanocatalysts (F-BS NCs) by connecting typical peroxidase Fe3O4 (MNPs) with a narrow band gap semiconductor Bi2S3 (BS) to enhance the enzymatic activity resorting to the limited intratumoral peroxide and efficient external photothermal stimuli. In this formulation, the integrated F-BS NCs induce cancer-cell death through mild photothermal treatment and sequential photothermal-stimulative catalysis of H2O2 into highly toxic •OH under 808 nm laser, which successfully realize a remarkable synergistic anticancer achievement.
