Defect microstructures, particularly dislocations, are pivotal in determining the functional properties of ferroelectric thin films. While their density is routinely considered, the critical role of their spatial configuration has remained largely unexplored and difficult to control. Here, we develop a controlled self-assembly strategy for dislocations in Bi(Fe,Mn)O 3 thin films on Ni-Cr that directly addresses this challenge. By employing a LaNiO 3 buffer layer, we template a discontinuous-columnar grain structure and guide the self-assembly of edge dislocations along grain boundaries in a topologically-protected configuration. The resulting ordered microstructure promotes a more uniform strain field and more coherent FeO 6 octahedral tilting, significantly enhances polarization homogeneity, leading to a lower domain-switching barrier and a more uniform domain pinning effect. Consequently, the BFMO thin film exhibits dramatically superior aging stability after 60 days at 60 °C, exhibiting far smaller reductions in remanent polarization (~20%) and coercive field (~35%) compared to the BFMO thin film grown directly on Ni-Cr. These findings establish a defect engineering paradigm wherein the deliberate dislocation rearrangement is leveraged to unlock superior ferroelectric performance.

Bismuth (Bi) is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries due to its high capacity. However, challenges such as low conductivity and significant volume expansion during charge cycles restrict its practical application. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), known for their controllable structure, hybrid inorganic-organic nature, large surface area, and high porosity, offer a solution to fix up above challenges. This study designs three-dimensional porous hollow spherical nanostructured bismuth-based MOF (Bi-MOF) by coordinating Bi 3+ with terephthalic acid. The material features a functional spherical shell and internal pore structure that maintain open ion transport channels, abundant electrochemical sites, and a large contact area between electrolyte and electrode. This design accelerates ion/electron transport within the cavity, mitigating volume expansion during charge-discharge cycles and ensuring structural stability. As an anode material, Bi-MOF exhibits great electrochemical performance: retaining discharge capacities of 617.6 mAh g −1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g −1 and 579.1 mAh g −1 after 200 cycles at 0.1 A g −1 . Coupled with LiFePO 4 cathodes, the full-battery maintains 93.1 mAh g −1 after 110 cycles at 1C. This work provides a train of thought to develop high-performance anode materials for enhanced lithium storage in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and validated the lithium storage mechanism of Bi-MOF.

Elaborate nanoarchitectured solid/liquid interface design of felt electrodes is arguably the most effective pathway to promote the pore-level transport-reaction processes of redox flow batteries. Herein, we conceive a new type of nanocatalytic-layer-architectured graphite felt via introducing the vertically standing carbon nanosheet-confined Bi nanodots onto carbon fiber surfaces. The vertically standing carbon nanosheets construct a nanoporous layer with straight channels for vanadium ion shuttling, where highly dispersed Bi nanodots are stiffly confined to afford abundant active sites. The vanadium redox flow battery utilizing the rationally designed electrodes achieves an energy efficiency of 89% at 150 mA cm–2, which is substantially higher than those of raw felt (61%) and oxidized felt (77%). Also, the battery with the present electrode maintains an energy efficiency of over 73% even at 400 mA cm–2, showing the excellent capability of withstanding fast charging and discharging. The multiphysics simulation shows that the vertically standing architecture optimizes the vanadium ion accessibility to the solid/liquid interfaces and thus maximizes the catalytic activity. Moreover, the battery can sustain more than 1000 cycles without obvious efficiency decay, confirming the superb stability of the present electrode. These encouraging results indicate that engineering vertically standing structures with tailored compositions may open up new avenues for advancing the flow battery technology.

The limited interfacial combination between CF and polymer matrix caused by the chemical inertness of CF surface greatly restricts the protective capability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer coatings (CFRPCs), which could not effectively resist the impact of external forces, especially in the severe and complicated ocean environment (like deep-sea area and splash zone). Hence, it is the crux to enhance the interface compatibility and interface strength between fiber and resin. Based on the reliable compatibility between imidazole and epoxy as well as the corrosion inhibition effects of cerium-based compounds, a kind of bi-functional metal-organic framework (MOF) called the cerium-imidazole framework (Ce-MI) was constructed on the CFs surface via in-situ growth method to improve the interface compatibility and interface strength of fiber and resin and further increase protective performance of epoxy (EP) coating under the simulated deep-sea area and splash zone . After 168 h immersion under alternating hydrostatic pressure, CF@Ce-MI/EP coating displayed impressive impermeability and anti-corrosion performance, and the interfaces of fiber/epoxy adhered firmly. After the erosion wear test, the volume loss and mass loss of CF@Ce-MI/EP were decreased by 23.77% and 14.80%, respectively, compared with CF/EP. Finally, we discussed the protective mechanism of composite coating to reveal the different processes of interface failure caused by the high pressure and the impact of solid particles , respectively.

Carbon nitride-based heterojunction catalysts show broad application prospects for the degradation of wastewater pollutants (e.g. antibiotics and dyes), yet their performance remains challenges in narrow light absorption range and high carrier recombination rate. The introduction of components with matched band structures and surface plasmon resonance can mitigate these limitations. Herein, a Schottky heterojunction composed of plasma Bi and MoO 2 -incorporated carbon nitride (Bi/MoO 2 @CN) is designed and synthesized via solvothermal-calcination method. Multiple preparation parameters are optimized to achieve the reduction of Bi 2 MoO 6 (BMO) to plasma Bi metal and MoO 2 . The synergistic structural and compositional effects endow the optimal material with exceptional adsorption-photocatalytic activity, achieving 96.19% tetracycline (TC) degradation within 90 min under visible light. The first-order kinetic constant is seven times higher than CN. The catalyst also demonstrates versatility in removing diverse organic dyes. Active species trapping experiments identify holes (h + ) and superoxide radicals ( ⸱O 2 − ) as primary reactive species. Furthermore, enhanced photocatalytic mechanism is elucidated through band structure analysis, Schottky heterojunction characterization, and TC degradation pathway study.

For the first time, piezocatalysis activity has been observed in bismuth-based MOFs (ultrasound vibration treatment) with two different morphologies, namely FCAU-17 (flakes) and CAU-17 (rods). CAU-17 and FCAU-17 were synthesized by solvothermal and ultrasonic methods, respectively, with the same organic ligand (1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) and metal salt (Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5H 2 O). Among these, the apparent rate constant k of CAU-17 in piezo-photocatalysis is 3.9 × 10 −2 min −1 , which is ∼3.9 and ∼ 1.5 times of those in photocatalysis and piezocatalysis, respectively. CAU-17 showed much high piezo-photocatalytic activity during degradation of RhB. Efficiently coupling between piezocatalysis and photocatalysis has been realized in rod-like CAU-17 (ultrasound vibration treatment). Our results provide a new strategy to improve catalytic performance of Bi MOFs through an efficient synergistic piezo-photocatalysis approach for environmental remediation.

Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (eNRR) at the ambient conditions is attractive for ammonia (NH 3 ) synthesis due to its energy-efficient and eco-friendly features. However, the extremely strong N≡N triple-bonds in nitrogen molecules and the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction lead to the unsatisfactory NH 3 yield and the Faradaic efficiency (FE) of eNRR, making the development of high-performance catalysts with adequate active sites and high selectivity essential for further development of eNRR. Addressing this, we herein report a Bi and K dual-doped titanium oxide (BTO@KTO) material, which is prepared by a cation exchange reaction between K 2 Ti 4 O 9 and molten BiCl 3 , for high-performance eNRR catalysts. Benefiting from the controllable molten-salt cation exchange process, a highly active surface containing Bi/K sites and rich oxygen vacancies has been obtained on titanium oxide. Under the synergy of these two merits, an efficient eNRR catalysis, with the NH 3 yield rate of 32.02 μg h −1 mg cat. −1 and the FE of 12.71%, has been achieved, much superior to that of pristine K 2 Ti 4 O 9 . This work thus offers a high-performance electrocatalyst for eNRR, and more importantly, a versatile cation-exchange strategy for efficiently manipulating materials' functionalities.

Bismuth-based photocatalysts are a class of excellent visible-light photocatalysts; however, their redox activity is relatively poor and the efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation is low, limiting their development and application in the field of photocatalysis . To address these issues, a series of polyoxometalate PW 12 O 40 3– -doped Bi 2 O 3– x /Bi Schottky photocatalysts PW 12 @Bi 2 O 3– x /Bi- n (PBOB- n , where n is the amount of NaBH 4 , i.e., 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 mg) were prepared by a simple electrospinning/calcination/in-situ NaBH 4 reduction method. In this composite photocatalyst, the doping of PW 12 could effectively adjust the electronic structure of Bi 2 O 3– x and improve its redox properties. As a shallow electron trap, PW 12 promoted the separation of the photogenerated carriers. Furthermore, desirable Schottky junction between the metal Bi nanoparticles and PW 12 @Bi 2 O 3– x further accelerated the separation of the photogenerated carriers. The synergistic effect of the aforementioned factors endowed PBOB- n with excellent photocatalytic activity. Among the samples, PBOB-18 exhibited superior photocatalytic activity. Under visible-light irradiation, 93.7% (20 mg catalyst) of 20 ppm tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA, 20 mL) was degraded in 60 min. Its activity was 4.4 times higher than that of Bi 2 O 3 . PBOB-18 also exhibited an ultrahigh photocatalytic performance for the removal of NO. Its removal rate (600 ppb) reached 83.3% in 30 min, making it one of the most active Bi-based photocatalysts. Furthermore, the photocatalytic mechanisms of PBOB-18 for TBBPA and NO have been proposed. This work provides a new direction and reference for the design of low-cost, efficient, stable, and versatile photocatalysts.

With the continuous development of modern electronic equipment, thermal management of electronic devices has become the focus of attention due to the energy consumption. As an important part of thermal management system, it is necessary to develop an electrical equipment shell with both superior thermal conductivity and mechanical properties for better thermal management performance. However, it is very difficult to balance the relationship between thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of thermal conductive polymer composites . Increasing filling content of thermal conductive fillers would lead to heavy damage of mechanical properties. In this paper, we construct a bi-continuous structure to solve this problem. The ABS phase provides thermal conductivity enhancement, while the PC phase is responsible for mechanical property maintaining. A highest thermal conductivity of 0.476 W/(m⋅K), 138% higher than that of pure PC, can be obtained after optimum design of formulation and processing conditions. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of PC/ABS composite are also enhanced comparing with filled-PC. Moreover, the reported PC/ABS composite has excellent electrical insulation and dielectric properties . Overall, our PC/ABS composites with simultaneous enhanced thermal conductivity and mechanical properties are of great prospect as electrical equipment shells for efficient thermal dissipation .

A new-type flame retardant DEZ of bi-DOPO compound containing bi-hydroxy and two amino groups, was synthesized from terephthalonitrile, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, and used with curing agent 4,4′-diamino-diphenylmethane to prepare flame retard epoxy resin (EP) composites. 1 H and 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and Fourier transform infrared spectra have determined the chemical structure of DEZ. The properties of cured EP composites were explicitly evaluated by differential scanning calorimeter, thermogravimetric analysis, the limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning (UL-94) test, cone calorimetry test, and flexural test. The 1 wt% addition of DEZ could improve the EP composites by almost 14.4% of flexural strength and 29.6% of flexural modulus, respectively. The LOI of EP composites with 5 wt% of DEZ was 29.7% and EP composites reached a V-0 rating in the UL-94 test, as well as total heat release was decreased by 11.2%. All EP modified by DEZ exhibited a blow-out effect in the combustion process, which was due to the release of pyrolysis gases and incombustible gases containing phosphorus radicals and nitrogen compounds.

Wang-Bi capsule (WB) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-based herbal formula, and it has been used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China for many years. Additionally, WB is also used as a supplement to the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in clinical practice. Our research aimed to reveal the therapeutic effects and underling mechanism of WB on RA and OA through computational system pharmacology analysis and experimental study. Based on network pharmacology analysis, a total of 173 bioactive compounds interacted with 417 common gene targets related to WB, RA, and OA, which mainly involved the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. In addition, the serine–threonine protein kinase 1 (AKT1) might be a core gene protein for the action of WB, which was further emphasized by molecular docking. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory activity of WB in vitro was confirmed by reducing NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. The anti-RA and OA effects of WB in vivo were confirmed by ameliorating the disease symptoms of collagen II-induced RA (CIA) and monosodium iodoacetate-induced OA (MIA) in rats, respectively. Furthermore, the role of the PI3K-Akt pathway in the action of WB was preliminarily verified by western blot analysis. In conclusion, our study elucidated that WB is a potentially effective strategy for the treatment of RA and OA, which might be achieved by regulating the PI3K-Akt pathway. It provides us with systematic insights into the effects and mechanism of WB on RA and OA.

Bi nanoparticles were used to fabricate Bi/Bi 2 O 3 heterojunction by an in situ sintering method in a muffle furnace. The experimental results show that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and oxygen vacancy (OV) defects of Bi/Bi 2 O 3 hybrids can enhance the visible-light absorption and carrier separation efficiency, and thus improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi/Bi 2 O 3 composites for tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible-light illumination. Moreover, by means of increasing the calcination time of Bi nanoparticles, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the as-prepared hybrids shows a tendency of first increasing and then decreasing. When the calcination time was 15 min, a maximum value of 81.7% was reached within 60 min. This is higher than that of 16% of the pristine Bi nanoparticles. In addition, h + plays a major role during the degradation reaction of TC. This study can provide promising guide for the rational design and development of Bi-based photocatalysts and degradation of antibiotics under solar light illumination.
