Pore-forming mechanisms and sodium-ion-storage performances in a porous Na3V2(PO4)3/C composite cathode

“…This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2023 plate micelles. 44,45 Due to the interactions of the ion pairs, the NVP precursors will anchor on the surface of the plate micelles. 46,47 Although the pyrolysis of organic matter will produce a variety of gases (such as CO 2 and NH 3 ), the platelike micelles will be stripped into sheets with carbonization, which will provide sufficient release space for gases.…”

Bismuth Gadolinium Oxychloride with a Remarkable Visible‐Light‐Responsive O2 Evolution Activity Promoted by Iodine Doping

“…[10] Notably, it was found that the characteristic peaks of 1XÀ Bi 2 GdO 4 Cl (X=Br, I) shift slightly to a slower degree compared with Bi 2 GdO 4 Cl (Figure S5). According to Bragg's equation, d (hkl) = nλ/(2sinθ), where d (hkl) , λ, and θ are the space between crystal planes of (h k l), the X-ray wavelength, and the Bragg diffraction angle, [21] respectively, the slight shift to a lower angle clearly reflects the lattice expansion of the crystals as a result of substitution of bigger atoms (Br and I) for Cl atoms, demonstrating that the halogen ions were successfully incorporated into the lattice of Bi 2 GdO 4 Cl. Figure 2b and S6 show that the morphology of the as-prepared Bi 2 GdO 4 Cl and 1XÀ Bi 2 GdO 4 Cl (X=Br, I) powders are essentially similar and have regular and sheet-like 2D layered structure.…”

Bismuth Molybdate Nanorods Derived from a Metal–Organic Framework for Triethylamine Gas Sensors

“…Bismuth molybdate (BMO) is a low-cost and low-toxicity bimetallic oxide with an adjustable morphology and good catalytic properties. Because of these characteristics, it has been studied for a wide range of applications including as an acousto-optic nanomaterial, gas sensor, photoconductor, photocatalyst, adsorbent, ionic conductor, metabolite, and humidity sensor. − As a gas sensor, the α and γ phases of BMO have been developed to detect different VOC, but never specifically for TEA quantification. , This Aurivillius oxide is commonly synthesized by combining bismuth­(III) nitrate (BNO) with either ammonium heptamolybdate or sodium molybdate. , More recently, BMO has been derived from Bi-MOF instead of uncoordinated BNO . This synthesis method was shown to improve the performance of BMO nanoparticles for photocatalysis due to better charge separation mainly caused by the presence of intrinsic surface defects generated by the collapse of the MOF structure .…”
