Open wounds face severe bacterial infection, which affects the quality of healing. Photothermal antimicrobial therapy has received increasing attention as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial treatment that can avoid drug resistance. A variety of metallic materials have been used in the development of photothermal agents. However, there are few studies on bismuth as a photothermal agent and its use in tissue repair, so there is still a lack of clear understanding of its biomedical function. Here, a hollow bismuth nanosphere prepared from bismuth metal was developed for drug loading and photothermal antibacterial effect. The photothermal conversion efficiency of the hollow bismuth spheres reached 16.1%, and the bismuth-loaded gelatin-oxidized dextran (ODex)-based hydrogel achieves good antibacterial effects both in vivo and in vitro. The bismuth-loaded hydrogel can also promote the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and improve the proliferation of human keratinocytes cells (HaCaT) and the quality of wound healing. This discovery provides a new idea for the application of metal bismuth in the field of tissue repair and regeneration.

One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical photocatalyst has the advantages of 1D materials and hierarchical materials, which is a kind of potential high performance photocatalytic materials. However, how to efficiently synthesize 1D hierarchical BiOBr is still a huge challenge. Herein, 1D rod-like BiO(OH)(NO)·3HO, the hydrolysis product of Bi(NO)·5HO, was acted as both the template and Bi source to synthesize 1D hierarchical hollow BiOBr (1DHHBr) through a facile solution stirring method at room temperature, using KBr as Br source.

The heavier group 15 elements As, Sb, and Bi are more restricted in their biochemistry than the nearly ubiquitous lighter congeners N and P, but organisms do encounter compounds of these elements as environmental toxins, starting materials for secondary metabolite biosynthesis, substrates for primary metabolism, or exogenously applied medicines. Under many physiological conditions, these compounds are transformed into pnictogen(III) species, the soft Lewis acidic character of which leads them to interact strongly with biologically relevant soft Lewis bases such as small-molecule thiols or cysteine residues of proteins and peptides. The archetypal complexes As(Cys), Sb(Cys), and Bi(Cys) have been studied in the past but a lack of detailed information about their molecular structures has hampered the analysis of protein structures featuring As(III), Sb(III), and Bi(III) bound to cysteine thiolate residues.

The TiC quantum dots (QDs)/oxygen-vacancy-rich BiOBr hollow microspheres composite photocatalyst was prepared using solvothermal synthesis and electrostatic self-assembly techniques. Together, TiCQDs and oxygen vacancies (OVs) enhanced photocatalytic activity by broadening light absorption and improving charge transfer and separation processes, resulting in a significant performance boost. Meanwhile, the photocatalytic efficiency of TiC QDs/BiOBr-OVs is assessed to investigate its capability for oxygen evolution and degradation of tetracycline (TC) and Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible-light conditions.

Semiconductor hollow spheres have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their unique structural properties and enhanced surface area, which are advantageous for various applications in catalysis, energy storage, and sensing. The present study explores the surfactant-assisted synthesis of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO) hollow spheres, emphasizing their enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity. Utilizing a novel, facile, two-step evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) approach, monodisperse BiFeO hollow spheres were synthesized with a narrow particle size distribution.
