Polycrystalline Bi2Se3−xTex(x = 0~1.5) samples were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) combined with spark plasma sintering (SPS) and their thermoelectric properties were investigated. The SHS-SPS process can shorten the time with few energy consumptions, and obtain almost pure Bi2Se3-based phases. Consequently, the Se vacancies and anti-site defects contribute to the converged carrier concentration of ~2 × 1019cm−3while the increased carrier effective mass enhances the Seebeck coefficient to more than −158 μV K−1over the entire temperature range. The lattice thermal conductivity is suppressed from 1.07 Wm−1K−1for the pristine specimen to ~0.6 Wm−1K−1for Te-substitution samples at 300 K because of point defects caused by the difference of mass and size between Te and Se atoms. Coupled with the enhanced power factor and reduced lattice thermal conductivity, a highZTof 0.67 can be obtained at 473 K for the Bi2Se1.5Te1.5sample. Our results reveal that Te-substitution based on the SHS-SPS method is highly-efficient and can improve the thermoelectric properties of Bi2Se3-based materials largely.

Restructuring is an important phenomenon in catalytic reactions. Conversion-type materials with suitable redox potential may undergo in situ electrochemically driven restructurings and induce highly active catalytic sites in a working lithium–sulfur battery. Herein, driven by the electrochemical conversion reaction of BiVO4, a reversible catalytic cycle of Bi/amorphous Li3VO4 (a-Li3VO4) and Bi2S3/a-Li3VO4 heterojunctions is constructed, which targets the oxidation of Li2S and the conversion of polysulfide, respectively. The heterostructures and electrochemically driven size confinement provide abundant sites for shuttle restraining and sulfur conversion. Especially, the p-block Bi and Bi2S3 could dramatically reduce the conversion energy barriers of Li2S and polysulfide by virtue of the p–p orbital hybridization, promoting bidirectional reactions of the sulfur cathode. As a result, the corresponding sulfur cathode possesses a high reversible capacity of 7.5 mAh cm–2 after 120 cycles under a high sulfur loading of 10.3 mg cm–2 with a current density of 0.38 mA cm–2. This study furnishes a feasible scheme to obtain highly effective catalysts for bidirectional sulfur redox by utilizing the electrochemically induced restructuring.

Single crystals of three new organic–inorganic hybrid compounds, tri[1-(diaminomethylene)uronium] hexachlorobismuthate ((C 2 H 7 N 4 S) 3 BiCl 6 ·H 2 O, HATU-BCH), bis[1-(diaminomethylene)uronium] pentabromobismuthate, ((C 2 H 7 N 4 S) 2 BiBr 5 , HATU-BB), and bis [3,5-diamino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-ium] pentaiodobismuthate ((C 2 H 5 N 4 S) 2 BiI 5 , OHATU-BI), have been successfully grown by slow evaporation method. Their structures were determined by single - crystal X-ray diffraction, in which all anion sublattice structures consist of hexahalobismuthates octahedra with different connection modes involving isolated, shared-corner, and shared-edge. The spectra characters were studied by Infrared and Raman spectra, which interpreted by calculation of the density functional theory (DFT) method and diffuse reflectance spectra. Thermal properties were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.

The sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) is a promising method for the degradation of pollutants, with the development of highly efficient catalysts for persulfate activation has been widely concerned. The novel BiCoFe-LDH (BCF-x) was synthesized successfully by coprecipitation method, which can activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) efficiently to degrade aniline. Comparative analysis with pure CoFe-LDH revealed a remarkable increase in reaction rate constant by approximately 14.66 times; the degradation rate of aniline (10 mg/L) was 100% in 60 min with the condition of 0.5 g/L BCF-1.5 and 0.5 g/L PDS, due to BCF-1.5 which was characterized as a complex of CoFe-LDH and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , promoting electron transport to improve the efficiency of activated PDS. In the reaction system, SO 4 •− , ·OH, and 1 O 2 were responsible for the aniline degradation and ·OH was the primary one. Furthermore, this work proposes a reaction electron transfer catalytic mechanism, which provided a new insight and good application prospect for efficient activation of PDS for pollutant degradation.

Defect modulation currently plays a decisive role in addressing the poor photoabsorption, sluggish electron hole separation, and high CO 2 activation barrier in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. However, hunting for a straightforward strategy to balance the concentration of oxygen vacancy and metal cation defect in one photocatalyst is still a great challenge. Herein, a bismuth vacancies BiOBr nanosheets (BiOBr-1) on the exposed [001] facets were constructed via an acetic acid molecule modification strategy, which can repair oxygen defect by bismuth vacancy in low-temperature solid-state chemical method. Benefiting from the formed bismuth defects that can not only broaden light absorption and elevate charge separation efficiency, but also enhance adsorption and activation of CO 2 molecules, the evolution rates of photocatalytic CO 2 conversion into CO (71.23 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 ) and CH 4 (8.90 µmol·g −1 ·h −1 ) attained by BiOBr-1 are superior 7.1 and 11 times to that of plate-like BiOBr. The photocatalytic mechanisms including adsorption concentration and activation process of CO 2 are further revealed by the in situ diffuse reflectance infrared flourier transform spectra (DRIFTS). This finding of the existence of distinct defects in ultrathin nanosheets undoubtedly leads to new possibilities for photocatalyst design using two-dimensional materials with high solar-driven photocatalytic activity.

A simple electrochemical method based on a Bi2S3 modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was developed to determine antipyrine using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Antipyrine shows a well-defined oxidation peak at the fabricated electrode in phosphate buffer solution and the oxidation peak current is much higher than that at the bare GCE, indicating that Bi2S3 can effectively improve the oxidation of antipyrine. Several effect factors on antipyrine determination were optimized, such as Bi2S3 amount, solution pH, scan rate and accumulation time. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation peak current of antipyrine was proportional to its concentration in the range of 2.0 to 100 μM and 100 to 800 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9974 and 0.9956, respectively. The limit of detection was estimated to be 0.7 μM (S/N = 3). The developed method showed good reproducibility and excellent anti-interference performance. The fabricated electrode was successfully used to determine antipyrine in pharmaceutical formulations with recovery from 96% to 103.5%.

In this work, we report large-scale preparation of stable Sb3+ and Bi3+ codoped Cs2ZrCl6 microcrystals for highly efficient white light emission using ionic liquids, demonstrating a broad dual-band white emission covering 400–800 nm. The dual emissions originate from the associated self-trapped excitons of the [SbCl6]3– and [BiCl6]3– octahedra. Moreover, the ratio of the dual-emission peaks can be effectively regulated by tuning the excitation wavelength. Meanwhile, to improve the optical properties and stability, ionic liquids are employed to assist the synthesis process of perovskite materials. The white light emission of one of the samples demonstrates CIE coordinates right in the center of the white light region (0.334, 0.331) and an excellent color rendering index (∼90.3), accompanied by a 66.1% quantum efficiency. Moreover, our method allows the facile synthesis of large batches of microcrystalline powders. Our findings demonstrate the potential of white phosphors as single components for future applications in lighting fields.

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices show promising applications for highly sensitive gas sensors for continuously monitoring of hazardous and flammable gases when integrating with specifically designed sensing materials. Improving the SAW sensor's responses by using nanostructure sensing materialshas become a research hot topic in recent years. In this work, we presented a SAW room temperature NO2 gas sensor with high sensitivity using one-dimensional (1D) Bi2S3 Nanobelts as the sensing materials. SAW devices with thecentral frequency of ~200 MHz were fabricated on ST-cut quartz substrate as the sensing platform. The Bi2S3 Nanobelts were synthesized by solvothermal method and deposited onto SAW sensors using a spin-coating technology. The response of the prepared SAW gas sensors was 2 kHz when subjected to 10 ppm NO2 even at room temperature. Moreover, the sensor shows good selectivity, reversibility, and stability. The sensing mechanism of one-dimensional Bi2S3 nanobelts-based SAW sensors for NO2 detection was also be discussed.

In this study, a magnetic NiFe 2 O 4 /MWCNTs/BiOI composite were fabricated and applied for enhanced and sustainable photocatalytic degradation of doxycycline (DOX) under UV light irradiation. The as-synthesized material was characterized by a series of techniques and its photocatalytic property was assessed via a couple of batch tests. With the pH at 3.0 and NiFe 2 O 4 /MWCNTs/BiOI loading of 1.5 g L −1 , the DOX degradation (at 45 mg L −1 ) efficiency could achieve 92.18% with the reaction rate constant k of 0.0072 min −1 . The high mineralization of DOX suggests the strong oxidation of both the parent pollutant and the intermediary products in the ternary catalyst system. DRS spectra indicated that compared with BiOI , the introduction of NiFe 2 O 4 and MWCNTs reduces the band gap energy of the NiFe 2 O 4 /MWCNTs/BiOI. The quenching test illustrates that h + , OH and O 2 − all functioned in the developed photocatalytic system, where O 2 − and h + play the dominant roles in DOX degradation. The more efficient electron-h + separation and more oxidizing species induced by UV light resulted in the significant improvement of DOX abatement in the developed coupling system compared with that on either BiOI or NiFe 2 O 4 /MWCNTs. The magnetic property of NiFe 2 O 4 /MWCNTs/BiOI enables its easy separation of the solid catalyst from the reaction solution and the sustainable application in the photocatalysis . Based on the intermediates of DOX decomposition identified by UPLC-MS, the possible degradation routes were proposed accordingly.

Te-Bi 2 Te 3 alloy thin film has grown on silicon dioxide substrate by thermal evaporation technique. The Bi 2 Te 3 rhombohedral structure enriched Te in the prepared thin film was identified by high solution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Interestingly, the Te-Bi 2 Te 3 alloy thin film presents a changeover from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) as continuously increasing the input intensity, which has been investigated using the open-aperture (OA) z-scan measurement under a femtosecond-pulsed laser at 800 nm. A high modulation depth of 48.3% and large saturation intensity of 24.1GW/cm 2 of the thin film were obtained. Moreover, a large nonlinear absorption coefficient β of ∼10 3 cm/GW is increased with the input intensity elevated. The research results demonstrate that the Te-Bi 2 Te 3 alloy thin film could be an emerging optical material for saturable absorber in Q-switched or mode-locking fiber lasers at low incident intensity while serve as optical limiter at high incident intensity.

Bismuth (Bi) based compounds are promising negative materials in aqueous alkali batteries (AABs) for the 3-electron redox chemistry of Bi element within low potentials, the exploration of new Bi-based negative materials is still a meaningful work in this field. Herein, a hierarchical bismuthyl bromide (BiOBr) microspheres material assembled by laminas was prepared via solvothermal reaction and attempted as negative battery material for AAB. The pronounced redox reactions of Bi species in low potential enable high battery capacity, and the porous texture with high hydrophilicity facilitates diffusion of OH – and participation in faradaic reactions. When used as negative battery electrode, the BiOBr could offer decent specific capacity ( C s , 190 mAh g −1 at 1 A g −1 ), rate capability ( C s remained to 163 mAh g −1 at 8 A g −1 ) and cycleability (85% C s retention after 1000 charge–discharge cycles). The AAB based on BiOBr negative electrode could export an energy density ( E cell ) of 61.5 Wh kg −1 at power density ( P cell ) of 558 W kg −1 and good cycleability. The current work showcases valuable application expansion of a traditional BiOBr photocatalyst in battery typed charge storage.

The selective conversion of alcohol into aldehyde in water was achieved over Bi 2 WO 6 -reduced graphene oxide (RGO) photocatalysts. The Bi 2 WO 6 -RGO-H catalysts were synthesized by an electrostatic self-assembly method followed by hydrothermal reduction. It was found the valence band and conduction band edges of Bi 2 WO 6 -RGO-H underwent a continuous increase in energy with the increasing weight ratio of graphene oxide, which resulted in a high selectivity to aldehydes. Furthermore, Bi 2 WO 6 -RGO samples with different degrees of reduction of RGO were prepared, and the conversion of alcohol was influenced greatly by the RGO reduction degree. Based on the results of photo-electrochemistry and photoluminescence spectroscopy, the clear enhancement in alcohol conversion can be ascribed to the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers, which results from the fast migration of photoelectrons between excited Bi 2 WO 6 and highly reduced RGO. Additionally, based on the results of radical-trapping and ESR spectroscopy, the primary reactive species and a plausible pathway for alcohol oxidation over Bi 2 WO 6 -RGO were proposed. Graphical Green synthesis : Highly selective and efficient conversions of alcohols into aldehydes can be achieved in aqueous suspensions of Bi 2 WO 6 -reduced graphene oxide (RGO) under artificial solar light irradiation. The selectivity to the product aldehydes can be tuned with the weight ratios of graphene oxide, and the conversion of reactant alcohols can be controlled by the reduction degree of RGO.
