Abstract:

In this work, a series of Bi2Te3/X mol% MoS2 (X = 0, 25, 50, 75) bulk nanocomposites were prepared by hydrothermal reaction followed by reactive spark plasma sintering (SPS). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) indicates that the native nanopowders, comprising of Bi2Te3/MoS2 heterostructure, are highly reactive during the electric field-assisted sintering by SPS. The nano-sized MoS2 particles react with the Bi2Te3 plates matrix forming a mixed-anion compound, Bi2Te2S, at the interface between the nanoplates. The transport properties characterizations revealed a significant influence of the nanocomposite structure formation on the native electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the initial Bi2Te3 matrix. As a result, enhanced ZT values have been obtained in Bi2Te3/25 mol% MoS2 over the temperature range of 300–475 K induced mainly by a significant increase in the electrical conductivity.

Abstract:

Nowadays, the search for the coupled polymer nanocomposite thermoelectrics that exhibit a high value of thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) and similar behaviour of physical properties for the use as legs of thermoelectric cells is a current challenge. The direct current (DC) conductivity is one of the three important components of thermoelectric figure of merit. The aim of this study was to obtain PANI-based nanothermoelectrics with Te0 and Bi2Te3 nanoparticles and MWCNT by mechanochemical methodology and to investigate the dependency of their DC electrical conductivity on temperature in the 298–353 K range using the Arrhenius and Mott’s variable range hopping (VRH) models. Inorganic Te0 and Bi2Te3 nanoparticles were pre-synthesized by the available and environmentally friendly method using a commercial tellurium powder. The samples obtained were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD study of ES-PANI/Te0 (4.4 wt% Te0) and ES-PANI/Bi2Te3 (2.9 wt% Bi2Te3) nanocomposites found that the nanoparticle average size was 32 nm and 17 nm, respectively. The DC conductivity study of the samples with different nanophase content (2.1, 4.4, 10.2 wt% Te0, 1.5, 2.9, 7.3 wt% Bi2Te3, 1.5 wt% MWCNT) by the two points measurement method reveals the following: (a) the presence of inorganic nanophase reduces the conductivity compared to the matrix, (b) the addition of MWCNT in ES-PANI increases its electrical conductivity, (c) the conductivity of ES-PANI/Te0 as well as ES-PANI/Bi2Te3 nanocomposite rises with the increasing inorganic nanophase content, (d) the observed increase in the electrical conductivity of MWCNT-based nanocomposites with increasing inorganic nanophase content is interrupted by a characteristic area of decrease in its value at average values of inorganic nanoparticles content (at Te0 content of 4.4 wt%, at Bi2Te3 content of 2.9 wt%), (e) a similar DC conductivity behaviour in ES-PANI/Te0—ES-PANI/Bi2Te3 and ES-PANI/Te0-MWCNT—ES-PANI/Bi2Te3-MWCNT nanocomposite pairs is observed.

Abstract:

Varying structure Bi2Te3-based nanocomposite powders including pure Bi2Te3, Bi2Te3/Bi core−shell, and Bi2Te3/AgBiTe2 heterostructure were synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis using Bi2S3 as the template and hydrazine as the reductant. Successful realization of Bi2Te3-based nanostructures were concluded from XRD, FESEM, and TEM. In this work, the improvement in the performance of the rhodamine B (RhB) decomposition efficiency under visible light was discussed. The Bi2Te3/AgBiTe2 heterostructures revealed propitious photocatalytic performance ca. 90% after 60 min. The performance was over Bi2Te3/Bi core-shell nanostructures (ca. 40%) and more, exceeding pure Bi2Te3 (ca. 5%). The reason could be scrutinized in terms of the heterojunction structure, improving the interfacial contact between Bi2Te3 and AgBiTe2 and enabling retardation in the recombination rate of the photogenerated charge carriers. A credible mechanism of the charge transfer process in the Bi2Te3/AgBiTe2 heterostructures for the decomposition of an aqueous solution of RhB was also explicated. In addition, this work also investigated the stability and recyclability of a Bi2Te3/AgBiTe2 heterojunction nanostructure photocatalyst. In addition, this paper anticipates that the results possess broad potential in the photocatalysis field for the design of a visible light functional and reusable heterojunction nanostructure photocatalyst.

Abstract:

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/Bi2Te3 nanocomposite powders with different contents of rGO have been synthesized by a one-step in-situ reductive method. Then, rGO/Bi2Te3 nanocomposite bulk materials were fabricated by a hot-pressing process. The effect of rGO contents on the composition, microstructure, TE properties, and carrier transportation of the nanocomposite bulk materials has been investigated. All the composite bulk materials show negative Seebeck coefficient, indicating n-type conduction. The electrical conductivity for all the rGO/Bi2Te3 nanocomposite bulk materials decreased with increasing measurement temperature from 25 °C to 300 °C, while the absolute value of Seebeck coefficient first increased and then decreased. As a result, the power factor of the bulk materials first increased and then decreased, and a power factor of 1340 μWm−1K−2 was achieved for the nanocomposite bulk materials with 0.25 wt% rGO at 150 °C.

Abstract:

Topological insulator two-dimensional (2D) Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanoplates, which are highly insulating in the bulk and have a conductive topological surface state, have been prepared via an “EG- (ethylene glycol-) sol” method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bi2Se3/PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) nanocomposites with various Bi2Se3 contents have been fabricated by a tape-casting method. The microstructure and dielectric performance of the Bi2Se3/PVDF nanocomposites are studied. The dielectric constant of the dense nanocomposite films keeps a relatively low value of about 16 when the Bi2Se3 content is lower than 12 vol.% then suddenly increases to 36 with a critical Bi2Se3 content of 13 vol.% due to the percolation effect of the large aspect ratio of the 2D Bi2Se3 nanoplates. The study of the Bi2Se3/PVDF nanocomposite system is conducive to the exploration of high-performance dielectrics.

Abstract This study loaded Bi/Bi2O3 on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to perform a two-step facile synthesis of rGO@Bi/Bi2O3 as a bismuth-based nanocomposite. First, Bi/Bi2O3 nanocomposites were synthesised via a solvothermal process using Bi(NO3)3 5H2O as the Bi3+ precursor and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the solvent. Second, we exfoliated rGO in water to functionalise Bi/Bi2O3 with a few layers of rGO. Obtained nanocomposites were characterised with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. We also measured the nanocomposites’ photocatalytic activity using cationic dyes, specifically methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB). Additionally, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was used to determine the optical properties of rGO@Bi/Bi2O3. Photodegradation was recorded under differing durations of exposure to visible light. Reaction rates were recorded at 14.6 × 10–4 min−1 and 22.2 × 10–3 min−1 for MB and RhB, respectively, while photodegradation efficiency was logged at 17% and 81%.

Abstract:

Semiconductor-based photocatalysis is a probable approach to overcoming many pollution problems and eradicating toxic organic materials from wastewater. This research endeavor aimed to explore the synergistic potential of different semiconductor nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in contaminated water. A facile hydrothermal approach was employed to synthesize bismuth oxide and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles from their precursors—bismuth nitrate pentahydrate, ferric chloride hexahydrate and cobalt chloride hexahydrate—with various concentrations and conditions to optimize the product. Subsequently, nanocomposites of bismuth oxide and cobalt ferrite were prepared by solid-state mixing in varying concentrations followed by calcination. UV/visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and elemental dispersive X-ray spectroscopic techniques have corroborated the successful synthesis of nanocomposites. The energy gaps of bismuth oxide and cobalt ferrite nanocomposites were computed in the range of 1.58–1.62 eV by Tauc plots. These nanocomposite materials were ascertained for photocatalytic potential to degrade methyl orange organic dye in water. A nanocomposite with equiquantic proportions has shown the best photocatalytic degradation activity, which may be attributed to the type-II band configuration and a synergistic effect, because Bi2O3 acts as an electron sink. This synergism has reduced the cogent band gap, hindered electron hole recombination and increased electron hole availabilities for photodegradation reactions, thus ensuing an efficient photodegradation co-work of Bi2O3/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites.

Abstract:

In this study, BiOCl based nanocomposites were used as photocatalytic membranes for a simulated study on water desalination in reverse osmosis membrane systems. Through molecular dynamic simulation, the molecular structure of BiOCl, BiOCl/Ag2S and BiOCl/Bi2O3 heterojunctions were designed and their electronic properties, mechanical properties, and membrane performance for water desalination were evaluated for the first time. The molecular structure was created, and a geometry optimization task was used to optimize it. Material Studio 2019 CASTEP was used for simulation of the electronic and mechanical properties and water desalination was performed by ReaxFF software under pressures between 0 and 250 MPa. The novel BiOCl based nanocomposites showed improved electronic and mechanical properties and, most importantly, improvements in salt rejection and water permeability as compared to well-known materials such as graphene and MoS2. BiOCl and BiOCl/Ag2S had a bandgap around two, which is the ideal bandgap for semiconductor photocatalysts. A salt rejection of 98% was achieved under an applied pressure of 10 MPa. Salt rejection was higher for BiOCl/Bi2O3, while water permeability was higher for BiOCl/Ag2S. The monolayer BiOCl was unstable under pressures higher than 50 MPa, but the mechanical stability of BiOCl/Ag2S increased twofold and increased fourfold for BiOCl/Bi2O3, which is even higher than MoS2. However, between the three nanocomposites, BiOCl/Ag2S was found to be the most ideal photocatalytic nanocomposite membrane.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the radiation protection properties of silicon-based composites doped with nano-sized Bi2O3, PbO, Sm2O3, Gd2O3, WO3, and IrO2 particles. Radiation shielding properties of Sm2O3 and IrO2 nanoparticles were investigated for the first time in the current study. Material and methods: The MCNPX (2.7.0) Monte Carlo code was utilized to calculate the linear attenuation coefficients of single and multi-nano structured composites over the X-ray energy range of 10–140 keV. Homogenous distribution of spherical nanoparticles with a diameter of 100 nm in a silicon rubber matrix was simulated. The narrow beam geometry was used to calculate the photon flux after attenuation by designed nanocomposites. Results: Based on results obtained for single nanoparticle composites, three combinations of different nano-sized fillers Sm2O3+WO3+Bi2O3, Gd2O3+WO3+Bi2O3, and Sm2O3+WO3+PbO were selected, and their shielding properties were estimated. In the energy range of 20-60 keV Sm2O3 and Gd2O3 nanoparticles, in 70-100 keV energy range WO3 and for photons energy higher than 90 keV, PbO and Bi2O3 nanoparticles showed higher attenuation. Despite its higher density, IrO2 had lower attenuation compared to other nanocomposites. The results showed that the nanocomposite containing Sm2O3, WO3, and Bi2O3 nanoparticles provided better shielding among the studied samples. Conclusions: All studied multi-nanoparticle nanocomposites provided optimum shielding properties and almost 8% higher attenuation relative to single nano-based composites over a wide range of photon energy used in diagnostic radiology. Application of these new composites is recommended in radiation protection. Further experimental studies are suggested to validate our findings.

Abstract:

The features of the bismuth oxide deposition by the ion layering method on matrices of anodic alumina and anodic titania have been studied. The formed nanostructured systems have been studied by means of electron micros copy, X-ray microanalysis, and X-ray spectroscopy. Two-layer nanocomposites consist of porous matrix or TiO2 island film with vertically oriented Bi2O3 plates placed on the surface. The photoluminescence spectrum of Al2O3/Bi2O3 oxide structure contains two photoluminescence channels with peaks at 460 and 560 nm upon excitation at 345 nm. Analysis of the EDX spectra showed that the atomic ratio of Bi, Ti and O was 31.46 % Bi : 3.78 % Ti : 51.05 % O. The possibility of using complex nanocomposite as contrast agents in X-ray diagnostics and for protection against ionizing radiation is shown.

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of experimental studies for the luminescence spectral intensity redistribution of opal photonic crystals containing various active dielectrics - Bi12SiO20, opal - Bi2TeO5 and opal - NaBi(MoO4)2 matrix nanocomposites and filled with europium C6H9EuO6 x H2O salt. Ultraviolet excitation was provided by semiconductor laser operating at wavelengths of 400nm and 100 mW average power. An increase in the integral luminescence intensity of the matrix composite opal - Bi12SiO20: Eu3+ was found. The possibility of the participation of bismuth ions as a co-activator and luminescence concentrator also is analyzed. It has been proposed to use opal-Bi12SiO20 nanocomposite filled with europium as a potentially attractive material to improving the solar cell efficiency.

Abstract:

En el desarrollo de este trabajo de investigación se han sintetizado y caracterizado nanocompositos en base de halloysita con nanopartículas de sulfuro de bismuto. La halloysita, es un filosilicato que se encuentra en forma de nanotubos de multicapas y constituye una alternativa de morfología similar a los nanotubos de carbono; sin embargo, posee características químicas distintas en la superficie externa e interna. La síntesis se llevó a cabo utilizando un método de impregnación de los precursores en nanotubos de halloysita para el posterior crecimiento de las nanopartículas in situ. La caracterización incluyó espectroscopias de absorción electrónica (UV-visible) y difracción de rayos X, en polvos. La morfología de los nanocompositos preparados se evidenció utilizando microscopía de barrido electrónico (SEM) y microscopía de transmisión electrónica(TEM); además se utilizó espectroscopia de energía dispersiva (EDS) para identificar elementos particulares y su distribución en la muestra. Los resultados indican que las nanopartículas de Bi2S3 (Bi2S3 NPs), de morfología esférica, se depositaron de manera uniforme sobre los nanotubos de halloysita (HNTs). Las partículas en el nanocomposito presentaron mayor diámetro que las partículas sintetizadas sin HNTs. Este cambio se evidencia en la reducción del ancho del pico en los patrones de difracción y en la disminución de valor de energía de la brecha energética. La formación del nanocomposito contribuyó a mantener las nanopartículas dispersas de manera homogénea sobre halloysita, evitando su aglomeración. Además, se evidenció el control de tamaño y morfología cuando se utiliza los nanotubos como soporte.

Abstract:

Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) are devices that have the ability to directly convert heat into electrical power, or vice-versa, and are being envisaged as one off-the-grid power source. Furthermore, carbon-based materials have been used as a conducting filler to improve several properties in thermoelectric materials. The present work studied the influence on the thermoelectric performance of Bi2Te3 bulk materials by incorporating different concentrations of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT). In order to control and understand the influence of MWCNT dispersion in the nanocomposite, two different production methods (manual grinding and ultrasonication) were carried out and compared. It was verified that a larger dispersion leads to a better outcome for thermoelectric performance. The achieved Seebeck coefficient was up to -162 µV K-1 with a Power Factor of 0.50 µW K-2m-1, for the nanocomposite produced with 11.8 %V of MWCNT. This result demonstrates the ability to increase the thermoelectric performance of Bi2Te3 throughout the addition of MWCNT.

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide (CO2) photoreduction into renewable fuels over semiconductor photocatalysts has emerged as a green and sustainable alternative for energy production. Consequently, tremendous efforts are being performed to develop robust and sustainable photocatalysts. Therefore, visible-light active nanocomposite photocatalysts composed of 5.0–20.0 wt.% bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) and cerium oxide (CeO2) were synthesized by a sol-gel-based process. The prepared nanocomposites were evaluated for the promoted photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into methanol (CH3OH). Various characterizations of the obtained photocatalysts exposed an outstanding development of crystalline structure, morphology, and surface texture due to the presence of Bi2O3. Moreover, the absorbance of light in the visible regime was improved with enhanced charge separation, as revealed by the exploration of optical response, photoluminescence, and photocurrent measurements. The overall bandgap calculations revealed a reduction to 2.75 eV for 15% Bi2O3/CeO2 compared to 2.93 eV for pure CeO2. Moreover, the adjusted 2.8 g L−1 dose of 15% Bi2O3/CeO2 selectively produced 1300 μmol g−1 CH3OH after 9 h of visible light irradiation. This photocatalyst also exhibits bearable reusability five times. The improved progression of 15% Bi2O3/CeO2 is denoted by significant charge separation as well as enhanced mobility. This study suggests the application of metal oxide-based heterojunctions for renewable fuel production under visible light.

Abstract:

Herein we present a facile synthesis of the graphene oxide-decorated binary transition metal oxides of Bi2O3 and MnO2 nanocomposites (Bi2O3/MnO2/GO) and their applications in the voltammetric detection of lead ions (Pb2+) in water samples. The surface morphologies, crystal structures, electroactive surface area, and charge transferred resistance of the Bi2O3/MnO2/GO nanocomposites were investigated through the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), power X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, respectively. The Bi2O3/MnO2/GO nanocomposites were further decorated onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE), and Pb2+ was quantitatively analyzed by using square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). We explored the effect of the analytical parameters, including deposition potential, deposition time, and solution pH, on the stripping peak current of Pb2+. The Bi2O3/MnO2/GO nanocomposites enlarged the electroactive surface area and reduced the charge transferred resistance by significant amounts. Moreover, the synergistic enhancement effect of MnO2, Bi2O3 and GO endowed Bi2O3/MnO2/GO/GCE with extraordinary electrocatalytic activity toward Pb2+ stripping. Under optimal conditions, the Bi2O3/MnO2/GO/GCE showed a broad linear detection range (0.01–10 μM) toward Pb2+ detection, with a low limit of detection (LOD, 2.0 nM). The proposed Bi2O3/MnO2/GO/GCE electrode achieved an accurate detection of Pb2+ in water with good recoveries (95.5–105%).

Abstract:

A novel ZnO/ZnO-Bi2O3 nanocomposite was prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method. The nucleation sites, namely ZnO-Bi2O3 particles with nominal chemical composition of (ZnO)0.94(Bi2O3)0.06, were prepared by ball milling and subsequent annealing treatment. The as-synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, SEM and electrochemical measurements. Compared with single ZnO, the ZnO/ZnO-Bi2O3 nanocomposite show better cycling stability and higher discharge capacity. When the content of ZnO-Bi2O3 was 15 wt.%, the discharge capacity of ZnO/ZnO-Bi2O3 nanocomposite hardly declined over 60 cycling test, the average discharge capacity reached 590.2 mAh g−1. Cyclic voltammograms clearly illuminated that the added ZnO-Bi2O3 particles could decrease electrode polarization, maintain the electrochemical activity, and enhance the discharge capacity of ZnO.

Abstract:

This work experimentally determined the X-ray shielding and morphological, density, and tensile properties of sulfur-vulcanized natural rubber latex (SVNRL) nanocomposites containing varying content of nano-Bi2O3 or nano-BaSO4 from 0 to 200 phr in 100 phr increments, with modified procedures in sample preparation to overcome the insufficient strength of the samples found in other reports. The experimental X-ray shielding results, which were numerically verified using a web-based software package (XCOM), indicated that the overall X-ray attenuation abilities of the SVNRL nanocomposites generally increased with increasing filler content, with the 0.25-mm-thick SVNRL films containing 200 phr of the filler providing the highest overall X-ray shielding properties, as evidenced by the highest values of lead equivalence (Pbeq) of 0.0371 mmPb and 0.0326 mmPb in Bi2O3/SVNRL nanocomposites, and 0.0326 mmPb and 0.0257 mmPb in BaSO4/SVNRL nanocomposites, for 60 kV and 100 kV X-rays, respectively. The results also revealed that the addition of either filler increased the tensile modulus at 300% elongation (M300) and density but decreased the tensile strength and the elongation at break of the Bi2O3/SVNRL and BaSO4/SVNRL nanocomposites. In addition, the modified procedures introduced in this work enabled the developed nanocomposites to acquire sufficient mechanical and X-ray shielding properties for potential use as medical X-ray protective gloves, with the recommended content of Bi2O3 and BaSO4 being in the range of 95–140 phr and 105–120 phr, respectively (in accordance with the requirements outlined in ASTM D3578-19 and the value of Pbeq being greater than 0.02 mmPb). Consequently, based on the overall outcomes of this work, the developed Bi2O3/SVNRL and BaSO4/SVNRL nanocomposites show great potential for effective application in medical X-ray protective gloves, while the modified procedures could possibly be adopted for large-scale production.
