Graphite-nanoplate-coated Bi2 S3 composite (Bi2 S3 @C) has been prepared by a simple, scalable, and energy-efficient precipitation method combined with ball milling. The Bi2 S3 @C composite was used as the cathode material for sodium-sulfide batteries. It delivered an initial capacity of 550 mAh g(-1) and high stable specific energy in the range of 275-300 Wh kg(-1) at 0.1 C, with an enhanced capacity retention of 69 % over 100 cycles. The unique structure demonstrates superior cycling stability, with a capacity drop of 0.3 % per cycle over 100 cycles, compared with that of bare Bi2 S3 . The sodium storage mechanism of Bi2 S3 was investigated based on ex situ X-ray diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy.

Recently, YbCdSb-based Zintl compounds have been widely investigated owing to their extraordinary thermoelectric (TE) performance. However, its p orbitals of anions that determined the valence band structure are split due to crystal field splitting that provides a good platform for band manipulation by doping/alloying and, more importantly, the YbCdSb-based device has yet to be reported. In this work, single-phase YbCdZnSb is successfully obtained through precise chemical composition control.

Despite decades of extensive research on thermoelectric materials, BiTe alloys have dominated room-temperature applications. However, recent advancements have highlighted the potential of alternative candidates, notably MgSb-MgBi alloys, for low- to mid-temperature ranges. This study optimizes the low-temperature composition of this alloy system through Nb addition (MgNb(SbBi)Te), characterizing composition, microstructure, and transport properties.

Photocatalytic technology is a popular research area for converting solar energy into environmentally friendly chemicals and is considered the greenest approach for producing HO. However, the corresponding reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pathway involved in the photocatalytic generation of HO by the BiWO-glucose system are still not clear. Quenching experiments have established that neither OH nor h contribute to the formation of HO, and show that the formed surface superoxo (≡Bi-OO) and peroxo (≡Bi-OOH) species are the predominant ROS in HO generation.

Due to the intrinsic contradiction of electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient in thermoelectric materials, the enhancement for the power factor (PF) is limited. Since the PF decides the output power, strategies to the enhancement of PF are of paramount importance. In this work, Bi Te /Sb and Bi Te /W multilayer films are proposed to enhance the thermoelectric properties.

An investigation was carried out in order to develop an accurate analytical solution and a numerical (FEA) solution for steady-state heat transfer in a circular sandwich structure incorporated with convective-radiative boundary conditions. The dimensional governing equations and boundary conditions were developed in the form of a 4th order algebraic equation, and then the solution was obtained using Ferrari's method. By solving for the roots of the quartic equation, we were able to determine the dimensionless temperature fields of the FG sandwich composite.
