Bismuth (Bi)-doped materials are capable of exhibiting broadband near-infrared (NIR) luminescence in 1,000-1,700 nm; driven by the potential use in lasers and broadband optical amplifiers for modern fiber communication systems, Bi-activated NIR luminescencent glasses and related devices have attracted much attention. Compared with glass systems, Bi-doped crystals as gain media usually have more regular crystal structures to produce stronger NIR signals, and developing such materials is highly desirable. Regarding the recent advances in Bi-doped NIR crystals, here, for the first time, we summarized such crystals listed as two main categories of halogen and oxide compounds. Then, by comparing the substitution site, coordination environment, emission and excitation luminescence peaks, emitting center species, and decay times of these known Bibased NIR crystals, discussion on how to design Bi-doped NIR crystals is included. Finally, the key challenges and perspectives of Bi-doped NIR crystals are also presented. It is hoped that this review could offer inspiration for the further development of Bi-doped NIR luminescent crystals and exploit its potential applications.

Bismuth-doped aluminosilicate glass has garnered significant attention due to its unique ultra-wide luminescence properties in the near-infrared (NIR) band. Enhancing the NIR luminescence of Bi-doped glass remains challenging. To achieve Bi-doped glass with more excellent luminescent properties, a series of Bi/Cr co-doped glasses were prepared, and the optical and structural properties of the samples were observed.

Bi-doped glasses and optical fibers are extensively studied since they present broadband optical amplification in the near-infrared region (NIR), in which the optical telecommunication industry greatly depends for the transmission of optical signals. There are many scientific challenges about the NIR luminescent emissions from Bi ions, such as understanding its origin and further improving the associated optical amplification capacity. In this work, Bi-doped germanosilicate glass compositions with ultrabroadband NIR luminescence were fabricated, in the range of 925-1630 nm, which covers O, E, S, C, and L-telecommunication bands.

A key requirement for the development of highly efficient silicon nanowires (SiNWs) for use in various kinds of cutting-edge applications is the outstanding passivation of their surfaces. In this vein, we report on a superior passivation of a SiNWs surface by bismuth nano-coating (BiNC) for the first time. A metal-assisted chemical etching technique was used to produce the SiNW arrays, while the BiNCs were anchored on the NWs through thermal evaporation.

Most of the existing single-component nanostructures cannot provide comprehensive diagnostic information, and their treatment strategies always have to combine other therapeutics as a complementary for effective biomedical application. Here, we adopted a facile approach to design a theranostic nanoflower (NF) with robust efficacy for comprehensive tumor diagnosis and quadruple synergistic cancer therapy. The NF is equipped with a metallic hybrid of several functional elements and flower-like superstructures and thus shows excellent in vitro and in vivo theranostic performance.
