The near-total soil profile concentrations of antimony and bismuth were determined for key soil series across southeastern Missouri. The antimony concentrations ranged from 0.65 to 0.08 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>, whereas the bismuth soil profile concentrations ranged from 0.92 to 0.03 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>. Most pedons showed antimony concentrations ranging from 20 to 30 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>, whereas bismuth concentrations were commonly 10 to 20 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>. For soils having argillic horizons, antimony and bismuth concentrations were greater for the illuvial horizons than the eluvial horizons, whereas Entisols, Inceptisols, and one Vertisol showed rather uniform antimony and bismuth concentrations, features paralleling the soil texture distribution. Both antimony and bismuth showed significant correlations with iron.展开更多

In this work,...Although Bi_(2)Mo O_(6)(BMO) has recently received extensive attention, its visible-light photocatalytic activity remains poor due to its limited photoresponse range and low charge separation efficiency. In this work, a series of visible-light-driven Y^(3+)-doped BMO(Y-BMO) photocatalysts were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Degradation experiments on Rhodamine B and Congo red organic pollutants revealed that the optimal degradation rates of Y-BMO were 4.3 and 5.3 times those of pure BMO, respectively. The degradation efficiency of Y-BMO did not significantly decrease after four cycle experiments. As a result of Y^(3+)doping, the crystal structure of BMO changed from a thick layer structure to a thin flower-like structure with an increased specific surface area. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the presence of highintensity peaks for the O 1s orbital at 531.01 and 530.06 eV, confirming the formation of oxygen vacancies in Y-BMO. Photoluminescence(PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed that the PL intensity and interface resistances of composites decreased significantly, indicating reduced electron–hole pair recombination. This work provides an effective way to prepare high-efficiency Bibased photocatalysts by doping rare earth metal ions for improved photocatalytic performance.展开更多

Nonetheless, the limited cycling performance(≤100 cycles) limits the practical application of Bi as anode for MBs. Therefore, the improvement of Bi cycling performance is of great significance to the development of MBs and is also full of challenges. Here, Bi nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon with single-atom Bi embedded(Bi@NC) are prepared and reported as an anode material for MBs. Bi@NC demonstrates impressive performance, with a high discharge capacity of 347.5 mAh g^(-1) and good rate capability(206.4 mAh g^(-1)@500 mA g^(-1)) in a fluoride alkyl magnesium salt electrolyte. In addition, Bi@NC exhibits exceptional long-term stability, enduring 400 cycles at 500 mA g^(-1). To the best of our knowledge, among reported Bi and Bi-based compounds for MBs, Bi@NC exhibits the longest cycle life in this work. The magnesium storage mechanism of Bi@NC is deeply studied through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This work provides some guidance for further improving the cycling performance of other alloy anodes in MBs.展开更多

文摘A time-resolved x-ray diffraction technique is employed to monitor the structural transformation of laser-shocked bismuth.Results reveal a retarded transformation from the shock-induced Bi-Ⅴphase to a metastable Bi-Ⅳphase during the shock release,instead of the thermodynamically stable Bi-Ⅲphase.The emergence of the metastable Bi-Ⅳphase is understood by the competitive interplay between two transformation pathways towards the Bi-Ⅳand Bi-Ⅲ,respectively.The former is more rapid than the latter because the Bi-Ⅴto B-Ⅳtransformation is driven by interaction between the closest atoms while the Bi-Ⅴto B-Ⅲtransformation requires interaction between the second-closest atoms.The nucleation time for the Bi-Ⅴto Bi-Ⅳtransformation is determined to be 5.1±0.9 ns according to a classical nucleation model.This observation demonstrates the importance of the formation of the transient metastable phases,which can change the phase transformation pathway in a dynamic process.
文摘The interplay between topology and magnetism is vital for realizing exotic quantum phenomena,significant examples including quantum anomalous Hall effect,axion insulators,and high-order topological states.These states host great potential for future applications in high-speed and low-consumption electronic devices.Despite being extensively investigated,practical platforms are still scarce.In this work,with molecular beam epitaxy(MBE),we provide the first experimental report on high-quality Bi(110)/CrTe_(2) magnetic heterostructure.By employing in-situ high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy,we are able to examine the interaction between magnetism and topology.There is a potential edge state at an energy level above the Fermi level,but no edge states observed near the Fermi level The absence of high-order topological corner states near EF highlights the importance of lattice matching and interface engineering in designing high-order topological states.Our study provides key insights into the interplay between two-dimensional magnetic and topological materials and offers an important dimension for engineering magnetic topological states.
文摘Recent research has suggested that increased industrial and technological utilization of antimony and bismuth necessitates greater research to determine the soil and water chemistry and the environmental risks associated with these elements. The near-total soil profile concentrations of antimony and bismuth were determined for key soil series across southeastern Missouri. The antimony concentrations ranged from 0.65 to 0.08 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>, whereas the bismuth soil profile concentrations ranged from 0.92 to 0.03 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>. Most pedons showed antimony concentrations ranging from 20 to 30 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>, whereas bismuth concentrations were commonly 10 to 20 mg kg<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>. For soils having argillic horizons, antimony and bismuth concentrations were greater for the illuvial horizons than the eluvial horizons, whereas Entisols, Inceptisols, and one Vertisol showed rather uniform antimony and bismuth concentrations, features paralleling the soil texture distribution. Both antimony and bismuth showed significant correlations with iron.

文摘Since low overpotential for the anodic ethanol oxidation reaction(EOR)can favor the higher output voltage and power of direct ethanol fuel cells(DEFCs),it is critical to design new EOR catalysts with efficient ethanol-to-CO_(2)activity at low applied potentials.Thereby,carbon-supported Ir-Bi_(2)O_(3)(Ir-Bi_(2)O_(3)/C)catalysts with highly dispersive bismuth oxide on the iridium surface are designed and prepared,which can merit splitting the ethanol C–C bond and promoting the oxidation of C1 intermediates at the bifunctional interfaces.The as-obtained Ir-Bi2O3/C catalysts show superior EOR mass activity of up to ca.2250 m A mgIr-1.Moreover,they exhibit the record lowest onset oxidation potentials(0.17–0.22 V vs.RHE)and the peak potential(ca.0.58 V vs.RHE),being 130–300 m V lower than the previous landmark noble metallic catalysts.Furthermore,an apparent C1 pathway faraday efficiency(FEC1)of 28%±5.9%at 0.5 V vs.RHE can be obtained at Ir-Bi_(2)O_(3)/C.This work might provide new insights into the new anodic EOR catalysts for increasing the power of DEFCs.

文摘Although Bi_(2)Mo O_(6)(BMO) has recently received extensive attention, its visible-light photocatalytic activity remains poor due to its limited photoresponse range and low charge separation efficiency. In this work, a series of visible-light-driven Y^(3+)-doped BMO(Y-BMO) photocatalysts were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Degradation experiments on Rhodamine B and Congo red organic pollutants revealed that the optimal degradation rates of Y-BMO were 4.3 and 5.3 times those of pure BMO, respectively. The degradation efficiency of Y-BMO did not significantly decrease after four cycle experiments. As a result of Y^(3+)doping, the crystal structure of BMO changed from a thick layer structure to a thin flower-like structure with an increased specific surface area. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed the presence of highintensity peaks for the O 1s orbital at 531.01 and 530.06 eV, confirming the formation of oxygen vacancies in Y-BMO. Photoluminescence(PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed that the PL intensity and interface resistances of composites decreased significantly, indicating reduced electron–hole pair recombination. This work provides an effective way to prepare high-efficiency Bibased photocatalysts by doping rare earth metal ions for improved photocatalytic performance.

文摘Bismuth has garnered significant interest as an anode material for magnesium batteries(MBs) because of its high volumetric specific capacity and low working potential. Nonetheless, the limited cycling performance(≤100 cycles) limits the practical application of Bi as anode for MBs. Therefore, the improvement of Bi cycling performance is of great significance to the development of MBs and is also full of challenges. Here, Bi nanoparticles encapsulated in nitrogen-doped carbon with single-atom Bi embedded(Bi@NC) are prepared and reported as an anode material for MBs. Bi@NC demonstrates impressive performance, with a high discharge capacity of 347.5 mAh g^(-1) and good rate capability(206.4 mAh g^(-1)@500 mA g^(-1)) in a fluoride alkyl magnesium salt electrolyte. In addition, Bi@NC exhibits exceptional long-term stability, enduring 400 cycles at 500 mA g^(-1). To the best of our knowledge, among reported Bi and Bi-based compounds for MBs, Bi@NC exhibits the longest cycle life in this work. The magnesium storage mechanism of Bi@NC is deeply studied through X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This work provides some guidance for further improving the cycling performance of other alloy anodes in MBs.

文摘Photocatalysis is an effective way to solve the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage.Numerous photocatalysts have been developed and various strategies have been proposed to improve the photocatalytic performance.Among them,Bi-based photocatalysts have become one of the most popular research topics due to their suitable band gaps,unique layered structures,and physicochemical properties.In this review,Bi-based photocatalysts(BiOX,BiVO_(4),Bi_(2)S_(3),Bi_(2)MoO_(6),and other Bi-based photocatalysts)have been summarized in the field of photocatalysis,including their applications of the removal of organic pollutants,hydrogen production,oxygen production etc.The preparation strategies on how to improve the photocatalytic performance and the possible photocatalytic mechanism are also summarized,which could supply new insights for fabricating high-efficient Bi-based photocatalysts.Finally,we summarize the current challenges and make a reasonable outlook on the future development direction of Bi-based photocatalysts.

文摘The development of new heterostructures with high photoactivity is a breakthrough for the limitation of solar-driven water splitting.Here,we first introduce indium oxide(In_(2)O_(3))nanorods(NRs)as a novel electron transport layer for bismuth vanadate(BiVO_(4))with a short charge diffusion length.In_(2)O_(3)NRs reinforce the electron transport and hole blocking of BiVO_(4),surpassing the state-of-the-art photoelectrochemical performances of BiVO_(4)-based photoanodes.Also,a tannin-nickel-iron complex(TANF)is used as an oxygen evolution catalyst to speed up the reaction kinetics.The final TANF/BiVO_(4)/In_(2)O_(3)NR photoanode generates photocurrent densities of 7.1 mAcm^(−2) in sulfite oxidation and 4.2 mA cm^(−2) in water oxidation at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode.Furthermore,the“artificial leaf,”which is a tandem cell with a perovskite/silicon solar cell,shows a solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 6.2%for unbiased solar water splitting.We reveal significant advances in the photoactivity of TANF/BiVO_(4)/In_(2)O_(3)NRs from the tailored nanostructure and band structure for charge dynamics.

文摘Broad-spectrum absorption and highly effective charge-carrier separation are two essential requirements to improve the photocatalytic performance of semiconductor-based photocatalysts.In this work,a fascinating one-photon system is reported by rationally fabricating 2D in-plane Bi_(2)O_(3)/BiOCl(i-Cl)heterostructures for efficient photocatalytic degradation of RhB and TC.Systematic investigations revealed that the matched band structure generated an internal electric field and a chemical bond connection between the Bi_(2)O_(3)and BiOCl in the Bi_(2)O_(3)/BiOCl composite that could effectively improve the utilization ratio of visible light and the separation effectivity of photo-generated carriers in space.The formed interactions at the 2D in-plane heterojunction interface induced the one-photon excitation pathway which has been confirmed by the experiment and DFT calculations.As a result,the i-Cl samples showed significantly enhanced photocatalytic efficiency towards the degradation of RhB and TC(RhB:0.106 min^(-1);TC:0.048 min^(-1))under visible light.The degradation activities of RhB and TC for i-Cl were 265.08 and 4.08times that of pure BiOCl,as well as 9.27 and 2.14 times that of mechanistically mixed Bi_(2)O_(3)/BiOCl samples,respectively.This work provides a logical strategy to construct other 2D in-plane heterojunctions with a one-photon excitation pathway with enhanced performance.

文摘Photoelectrochemical reduction of CO_(2)to produce CO with metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)is recognized as a desirable technology to mitigate CO_(2)emission and generate sustainable energy.To achieve highly efficient electrocatalyst,it is essential to design a new material interface and uncover new reaction mechanisms or kinetics.Herein,we developed two metal-organic Cu-MOF and Bi-MOF layers using benzene tricarboxylic acid(H_(3)BTC)ligands on CuBi_(2)O_(4) photocathodes.Both MOF layers drastically improved the photoelectrochemical stability by suppressing the photo-corrosion through conformal surface passivation.The Cu-MOF modified CuBi_(2)O_(4) showed more significant charge separation and transfer efficiencies than the Bi-MOF modified control.Based on the transient photocurrent curves under the applied potential of 0.6 V vs.RHE,the rate-law analysis showed the CO_(2)photoreduction took place through a first-order reaction.Further,the photoelectrochemical impedance spectra(PEIS)revealed this reaction order,representing an“operando”analysis.Moreover,the reaction rate constant on Cu-MOF modified sample was higher than that on Bi-MOF modified one and bare CuBi_(2)O_(4).Combined with the density functional theory calculation,the surface absorption of CO_(2)and CO molecules and the higher energy barrier for*COOH intermediates could significantly determine the first order reaction.
