Single crystalline flower-like Bi2S3 nanostructures were successfully synthesized via a simple, facile and green hydrothermal method, with the assistance of D-penicillamine. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and found their morphologies mainly depend on the ratios of Bi(3+) to D-penicillamine, as well as the reaction temperature and time. And the possible growth mechanism has been discussed in some detail. In addition, the as-prepared Bi2S3 nanoflowers show good hydrogen storage ability. This strategy can be potentially expanded to prepare other metal chalcogenides materials.

Article Synopsis
- Au nanoparticles (NPs) enhance the field electron emission (FEE) performance of BiS nanorods (NRs), lowering the turn-on field from 3.7 to 2.7 V/μm and increasing maximum emission current density from 138 to 604.8 μA/cm.
- The BiS nanorods, around 120 nm in diameter, form nanoflowers, while 5-10 nm Au NPs are uniformly attached to their surfaces, creating an Au/BiS composite.
- This improvement in FEE is due to reduced work function and more emitting sites provided by the decoration of Au NPs, as confirmed by various analysis techniques like FESEM/TEM, XRD,

Article Synopsis
- Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a harmful mycotoxin found in food that poses health risks, making its detection in cereal-based foods crucial.
- A novel sensor was developed using zinc-tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (Zn-TCPP) nanorods and BiS@Au nanoflowers, which enhanced luminescence signals and allowed for the ultra-sensitive detection of OTA in various food samples.
- This innovative approach not only effectively detects OTA at very low concentrations (as low as 0.13 pg/mL) but also offers a promising research avenue for analyzing other mycotoxins and advancing the study of metal-organic frameworks.

In this work, BiS nanoflowers were in situ anchored on the surface of TiC via a hydrothermal process to obtain MXene-supported TiC/BiS nanocomposite, then incorporated inside in sodium alginate polymer to prepared hydrogel materials (TiC/BiS@SA-H) which outperforms and have an excellent capability for the removal of pollutants like disinfected byproducts. The synthesized hydrogel material TiC/BiS@SA-H may be utilized for a variety of functional materials in environmental applications. Furthermore, the TiC/BiS@SA-H was characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD, BET, AFM, FTIR, Zeta potential, XPS, Raman and TGA.

A two-step simple and efficient ion-exchange chemical strategy is proposed to obtain nanostructured BiS electrodes of different surface morphologies from the BiO. In the first step, nanoplates of the BiO are obtained on nickel-foam using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method at room-temperature (25 °C). In the second phase, as-obtained nanoplates of the BiO are transferred to the BiS using four autoclaves containing different sulfur precursor solutions at 120 °C for 8 h for phase change, structural conversion and surface morphological modification (, walnuts, network-type, nanowires, and nanoflowers).

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are one of the most promising energy storage devices due to their environmental friendliness, low cost, and high specific capacity. However, the slow electrochemical kinetics and the "shuttle effect" have seriously hindered their commercialization. Herein, the nanoflower BiS─MoS (BMS) heterostructure is synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method, and then the BiS─MoS-Polypropylene (BMS-PP) interlayer is constructed.
