Herein, mesoporous hollow kapok-tubes (denoted as MHKTs) is first used as carbon electrocatalyst for CO 2 electroreduction that can selectively convert CO 2 to formate without doping active elements, achieving the highest Faradaic Efficiency (FE) for formate at a potential range from −1.0 to −1.1 V vs. RHE (E = −1.0 V, FE = 48%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 50%). Moreover, MHKTs is also first used as new carbon support for loading metals in CO 2 electroreduction, metals (Sn, Bi, Pb and Cd) in-situ anchored on MHKTs are all prepared via in-situ simple one-pot synthetic strategy. The four electrocatalysts Sn@MHKTs (E = −0.9 V, FE = 94%; E = −1.0 V, FE = 95%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 90%), Bi@MHKTs (E = −0.9 V, FE = 90.5%; E = −1.0 V, FE = 93%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 92%), Pb@MHKTs (E = −1.0 V, FE = 85%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 80%) and Cd@MHKTs (E = −0.9 V, FE = 71%; E = −1.0 V, FE = 74%; E = −1.1 V, FE = 70%) all exhibit high selectivity for electrocatalytic CO 2 to formate at a wide potential range with low overpotential and high current density , respectively outperforming electrocatalysts synthesized under the same conditions that use traditional MWCNTs and rGO as carbon support (Sn@MWCNTs, Bi@MWCNTs, Pb@MWCNTs, Cd@MWCNTs; Sn@rGO, Bi@rGO, Pb@rGO, Cd@rGO). These outstanding performances of low cost metal@MHKTs electrocatalysts display great potential for large-scale using in CO 2 -to-formate process.

It is an enormous challenge to develop low-cost non-noble metal bi-functional catalysts toward overall water splitting. The efficient water decomposition electrocatalysts need both intrinsic activities determined by electronic structure and superb mass transfer ability. For this, in the contribution, an efficient self-supported bi-functional catalyst, i.e. , nanoscale hetero Mo 2 C-CoO encapsulated in N -doped carbon nanofibers (Mo 2 C-CoO@ N -CNFs), is designed and fabricated with facile electrospinning avenue. Density functional theory and electrochemical investigation manifest that the synergistic effect of bimetallic Mo/Co accelerates kinetics of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and lowers the energy barrier of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Thanks to the structural and compositional merits, the optimized integrated Mo 2 C-CoO@ N -CNFs film demonstrates remarkable catalytic activities in both OER and HER, and renders a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at 1.56 V when used for alkaline whole water cracking. The design concept here provides insights for future rational construction of advanced water decomposition catalysts.

Metal substrates are frequently used as current collectors and supports for electrochemically active materials, but their effect on the physical and electrochemical performance of electrocatalysts is rarely investigated. In this study, the electrodeposition method was used to coat four different metal meshes with three-dimensional nickel porous structures using hydrogen bubbles as a template. The significant influence of the metal substrates on the morphology of deposited nickel was demonstrated. 3D porous structures formed on nickel, iron, copper, and titanium meshes via the hydrogen bubble template method varied significantly. It was found that differences in the physical adsorption of hydrogen and electrochemical hydrogen evolution on metal substrates are the fundamental reasons behind the diverse morphology of the coatings. Lattice matching of the substrate and the active material also plays an important role during the electrodeposition process. Electrocatalytic performance of the newly prepared materials in water electrolysis was evaluated using the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). The results demonstrate the high electrocatalytic activity of Ni/FeM in the OER and HER, and the good stability of Ni/TiM in HER.

In this work, two Bi-based semiconductors composites was synthesized through the BiVO 4 quantum dots (BVO QDs) was grown on the Bi 12 TiO 20 (BTO) via an in-suit growth with the ultrasonic method, which was more stability and evenly dispersed. As expected, the BVO-BTO composites exhibited increased visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance for photo-degradation due to the advantages of BVO QDs. Moreover, the possible mechanism of BVO-BTO composites was studied by trapping experiment, photocurrent, UV–vis and so on. The results demonstrated that the BVO QDs can widen the light response range to visible region and hasten the charge transfer and separation. Thus, the photocatalytic activity was enhanced through the BVO QDs decorated on BTO, which provided a new idea for designing Bi-based materials.

In recent years, the proliferation of counterfeit products has led to increased concerns about anti-counterfeiting technology, with traditional single-mode fluorescence methods proving insufficient due to their susceptibility to replication. The new copper-based halide materials have shown great potential in the field of multi-mode anti-counterfeiting due to their unique structure, excellent luminescence performance, and high defect tolerance. In this work, near-infrared emission of Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 was achieved for the first time through Bi doping. By exploiting the dual emission center characteristics of the resulting Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 :Bi, we demonstrated its excitation wavelength-dependent emission. It was then mixed with cyclohexane to prepare an advanced fluorescent anti-counterfeiting coating for screen printing, enabling high-precision pattern printing onto various substrates. The resulting anti-counterfeiting patterns exhibit excellent weather resistance, remaining virtually unchanged after 60 days at room temperature. This study lays the foundation for expanding the emission range of Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 and adjusting multi band emission, and confirms its potential application in the field of multi-mode anti-counterfeiting.

Herein, a novel and flexible self-supporting gas diffusion electrode (GDE) was fabricated, which including an electrodeposited Bi nanocomposite as a catalyst layer and MIL-101 derived porous carbon in the gas diffusion layer (GDL). Compared with the conventional fabrication of GDE electrodes, the electrodeposition approach can avoid the tedious drop-casting processes of the catalyst layer (CL). The in situ growth mode by electrodeposition can also ensure the firmly interaction between CL and current collector, thus enhancing the stability of the electrode. Meanwhile, the porous carbon derived from MIL-101 which with a high specific area is conducive for the CO 2 enrichment on the electrode, thus facilitate the reaction with high current density. Owe to the special structure, the resultant catalyst showed excellent performance for electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) with enhanced formic acid generation. Notably, at -1.37 V ( vs. RHE), a large current density of 400 mA cm -2 and a high formate Faraday efficiency (FE formate ) of 96.5 % were achieved, and the yield of formic acid reached 46.5 mmol cm -2 h -1 , which is superior to most electrocatalytic catalysts for CO 2 RR. In addition, the FE formate value remained high (>90 %) over a wide voltage window of 800 mV, and the catalyst also maintained stable operation at industrial current density for 70 h. This work provides a new strategy for the design of GDEs with novel structure to achieve high activity and durability for different electrocatalysis.

In order to further improve its photocatalytic activity , the BiOI microspheres were activated by a synchronous coupling of Bi metal and graphene under solvothermal conditions. The effects of the synthesis temperature (160–200 °C) on crystallinity, morphology, and photocatalytic activity were studied in particular. As expected, the ternary Bi-BiOI/graphene photocatalyst synthesized at 180 °C exhibited higher photocatalytic activity for NO oxidation removal under visible light irradiation than individual BiOI, and binary Bi-BiOI and BiOI/graphene composites. The photocatalytic efficiency for the NO removal of the ternary Bi-BiOI/graphene photocatalyst synthesized at 180 °C reached 51.8% within 30 min of visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the ternary Bi-BiOI/graphene photocatalyst is attributed to (I) the efficient transfer of photo-generated electrons from BiOI and Bi to graphene, leading to the effective separation of the photo-generated electron-hole pairs and (II) the surface plasmon resonance effect of Bi nanoparticles in the composite photocatalyst. Furthermore, the results of the scavenger experiments and DMPO-ESR spin-trapping measurements reveal that O 2 − radical species play the most critical role and holes serve as a secondary active species in the oxidative removal process of NO by 180BOI/GR composite under visible light irradiation.

Bi/BiOBr composites with oxygen vacancies were synthesized by a simple combustion method. The as-synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Along with the formation of BiOBr, the reduction of partial Bi 3+ cations was achieved, and thus Bi/BiOBr composites were one-pot obtained. Moreover, the formation of oxygen vacancies was confirmed. Compared with pure BiOBr, Bi/BiOBr composites exhibit significantly improved photodegradation performances under visible light irradiation, which can be attributed to the surface plasma resonance effect, electron sink effect of metallic Bi nanoparticles, and the narrowed band gap caused by the formed oxygen vacancies. Moreover, the main active species and photocatalytic mechanism of Bi/BiOBr under visible light irradiation were discussed in detail.

An innovative advanced oxidation process was successfully developed to photocatalytic-degradation of estrone through the synergistic effect of biochar and Bi/Bi 2 O 3 in bismuth-containing photocatalytic biochar (BiPB). The highest reaction rate constant ( k obs ) of estrone degradation by BiPB was 0.045 min −1 under the conditions of initial concentration of estrone =10.4 μmol L −1 , [BiPB] =1 g L −1 , pH = 7.0. The k obs was almost tenfold and more than 20 times than that of biochar without bismuth impregnation and pristine Bi/Bi 2 O 3 , respectively. The best photocatalytic performance of BiPB composites for the degradation of estrone was primarily attributed to generation of OH radicals. Impregnation of bismuth helped control the concentration of persistent free radicals (PFRs) and develop a hierarchical porous structure of biochar. The presence of biochar facilitated pre-concentration estrone on BiPB and improved the separation and transfer efficiency of charge carriers. The synergistic effect between biochar and Bi/Bi 2 O 3 contributed to the generation of OH radicals for estrone degradation under neutral pH conditions. The transformation pathway of estrone was also proposed based on the measured transformation products in the presence of BiPB. The high efficiency of BiPB composites indicated that this easily-obtained material was promising for estrone-wastewater treatment applications as a low-cost composite photocatalyst.

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving demand for secure and rewritable optical information technologies. Bi-based photochromic glasses are promising, yet achieving high optical contrast, stable rewritability, and controllable formation of low-valence Bi species remains challenging. Here, Ce partially replaces Sb to regulate the multivalent redox environment, while Eu 3+ provides luminescent readout. The optimized glass containing 0.2 mol% CeO 2 exhibits a coloration contrast of 24.85% within 30 s, 4.3 times that of the Ce-free glass, and reaches 70.86% after 130 s of 465 nm irradiation. It exhibits a relative transmittance recovery of 99.66% after heating at 300 °C for 5 min and retains 98% of its coloration contrast after 50 writing–bleaching cycles. Photochromism-induced optical attenuation enables a reversible Eu 3+ emission modulation of 84.78% in the optimized glass. Combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analyses indicate that Ce substitution regulates charge redistribution among Bi/Sb/Ce redox centers and oxygen-related localized states, facilitating reversible Bi 3+ reduction and the photoinduced formation of low-valence Bi-related nanoclusters. The coupled coloration and luminescence responses enable rewritable pattern recording, dual-mode optical verification, and matrix-based information encoding and reconstruction, providing an integrated Bi-based glass medium for multimodal optical storage and encryption.

The antibiotic sulfamethazine (SMT) has emerged as a water pollutant that is recalcitrant to conventional water treatment process. A number of technologies based on hydroxyl radical or sulfate radical induced SMT degradation have been described, but photo-induced degradation is not widely examined. Herein, photocatalysts of Bi-doped TiO 2 nano-composites supported by powdered activated carbon (PAC) were prepared, with variable molar ratios of Bi/Ti (0.06:1(6%), 0.08:1(8%), 0.1:1(10%) and 0.12:1(12%)) by a sol-hydrothermal method. The ratio of 10% (Bi-Ti/PAC (10%)) was most efficient to degrade SMT. Experimental variables during photocatalytic degradation were optimized for solution pH, catalyst dosage, initial SMT concentration, and coexisted anions. Under optimal conditions of 1.0 g/L catalyst, 20 mg/L initial SMT concentration, pH 6.0 and visible light irradiation at 400–780 nm, the degradation rate reached 81.18% in 300 min. Compared to Bi-Ti(10%) nano-composite without PAC, pure TiO 2 or commercially available P 25 , Bi-Ti/PAC(10%) was superior for SMT degradation with a degradation kinetic rate of 0.00531 min −1 . The properties of the prepared photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy. This revealed that Bi-Ti/PAC (10%) had a smaller crystal size, larger specific surface area, larger pore size, stronger visible light absorption ability and lower band gap energy than pure TiO 2 . Ten intermediates of SMT were identified and a possible degradation pathway was proposed.

Segmentation is a widely adopted strategy to enhance the efficiency of medium- and high-temperature thermoelectric devices by capitalizing on the distinct properties of materials across various temperature ranges. Establishing a highly compatible matching relationship is crucial for maximizing conversion efficiency. In this study, the concepts of materials’ compatibility factor and relative current density into the screening process are emphasized for universal adaptability. The effectiveness and practicality of the theoretical model for optimal segmented combinations are validated through COMSOL finite element simulations and experimental results. A segmented thermoelectric power generation device is constructed that integrates the environmentally friendly n-type Mg 3 (Sb,Bi) 2 with the optimal segmented pairing of Bi 0.5 Sb 1.5 Te 3 -GeTe. Notably, at a temperature difference of Δ T = 440 K, this device achieves a maximum conversion efficiency of 10.4% and a peak output power of 0.41 W. These findings provide a solid theoretical foundation for the development of efficient combinations of thermoelectric materials.
