Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received much attention, owing to their great potential for large-scale application. A lack of efficient anode materials with high reversible capacity is one main challenge facing the development of SIBs. Antimony- and bismuth-based chalcogenides materials can store large amounts of Na ions, owing to the alloying/dealloying reaction mechanism within a low potential range, and thus, are regarded as promising anodes for SIBs. However, these materials face great challenges of poor ion diffusion rate, multiple phase transformations, and severe morphology pulverization. Herein, recent developments in antimony- and bismuth-based chalcogenides materials, mainly rational structural design strategies used and the electrochemical reaction mechanisms involved, are summarized. Perspectives for further improving antimony- and bismuth-based chalcogenides anodes are also provided.

In light of the increasingly pressing energy and environmental challenges, the use of photocatalysis to convert solar energy into chemical energy has emerged as a promising solution. Halide perovskites have recently attracted considerable interest as photocatalysts due to their outstanding properties. Early developments focused on Lead-based perovskites, but their use has been severely restricted due to the toxicity of Lead.

Antimony/bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid halide perovskite-like compounds have generated enormous research interest due to their excellent optical properties. Exploration of new compounds and understanding of their structural stability and optoelectronic properties is of utmost importance for practical applications of these materials. We report two new 0D perovskite-like compounds and their solid solution, (CHNH)BiSbI, having propyl amine as the spacer cation and iodine as the halide ion.

Owing to the exterior self-trapped excitons (STEs) with adjustable fluorescence beams, low-dimensional ns-metal halides have recently received considerable attention in solid-state light-emitting applications. However, the photoluminescence (PL) mechanism in metal halides remains a major challenge in achieving high efficiency and controllable PL properties because the excited-state energy of ns conformational ions varies inhomogeneously with their coordination environments. Here, a novel zero-dimensional (0D) lead-free bismuth-based RbBiCl·0.

Antimony/bismuth-based lead-free hybrid halide defect 2D perovskites have been generating enormous research interest due to their inherent excellent optical properties. Exploration of new phases and understanding of their structural and optoelectronic properties are of paramount importance in the process of developing materials for practical solar cell applications. In this article, we have reported a structural transition from the 0D hexagonal phase containing isolated [MI] (M = Bi/Sb) units to the 1D orthorhombic phase via a new monoclinic phase with novel isolated trimeric [MI] units in (CHNH)BiSbI.
