Abstract
Bismuth chalcohalides (BiSeI and BiSI), a class of superior light absorbers, have recently garnered great attention owing to their promise in constructing next-generation optoelectronic devices. However, to date, the photodetection application of bismuth chalcohalides is still limited due to the challenge in controllable preparation. Herein, the synthesis of large-scale quasi-1D BiSeI nanowires via chemical vapor deposition growth is reported. By precisely tuning the growth temperature and the Se supply, it can effectively control the growth thermodynamics and kinetics of BiSeI crystal, and thus achieve high purity quasi-1D BiSeI nanowires with high crystal quality, uniform diameter, and tunable domain length. Theory and optical characterizations of the quasi-1D BiSeI nanowires reveal an indirect bandgap of 1.57 eV with prominent optical linear dichroism. As a result, the quasi-1D BiSeI nanowire-based photodetector demonstrates a broadband photoresponse (400-800 nm) with high responsivity of 5880 mA W-1 , fast response speed of 0.11 ms and superior air stability. More importantly, the photodetector displays strong polarization sensitivity (anisotropic ratio = 1.77) under the 532 nm light irradiation. This work will provide important guides to the synthesis of other quais-1D metal chalcohalides and shed light on their potential in constructing novel multifunctional optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Interlayer electric fields in two-dimensional (2D) materials create photoelectron protecting barriers useful to mitigate electron-hole recombination. However, tuning the interlayer electric field remains challenging. Here, carbon-doped Bi3O4Cl (C:Bi3O4Cl) nanosheets are synthesized using a gas phase protocol, and n-type carriers are acquired as confirmed by the transconductance polarity of nanosheet field effect transistors. Thin C:Bi3O4Cl nanosheets show excellent 266 nm photodetector figures of merit, and an avalanche-like photocurrent is demonstrated. Decaying behaviors of photoelectrons pumped by a 266 nm laser pulse (266 nm photoelectrons) are observed using transient absorption spectroscopy, and a significant 266 nm photoelectron lifetime quality in C:Bi3O4Cl is presented. Built C:Bi3O4Cl models suggest that the interlayer electric field can be boosted by two different carbon substitutions at the inner and outer bismuth sites. This work reports a facile approach to increase the interlayer electric field in Bi3O4Cl for future UV-C photodetector applications.

Abstract
The photoresponse and photocatalytic efficiency of bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) are greatly limited by rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers. The construction of porous single-crystal BiOCl photocatalyst can effectively alleviate this issue and provide accessible active sites. Herein, a facile chelated ion-exchange strategy is developed to synthesize BiOCl mesoporous single-crystalline nanosheets (BiOCl MSCN) using acetic acid and ammonia solution respectively as chelating agent and ionization promoter. The strong chelation between acetate ions and Bi3+ ions introduces acetate ions into the precipitated product to exchange with Cl- ions, resulting in large lattice mismatch, strain release, and formation of void-like mesopores. The prepared BiOCl MSCN photocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic performance with 99% conversion and 98% selectivity for oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and superior general adaptability for various aromatic alcohols. The theoretical calculations and characterizations confirm that the superior performance is mainly attributed to the abundant oxygen vacancies, plenty of accessible adsorption/active sites and fast charge transport path without grain boundaries.

Abstract
2D ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors have aroused increasing interest in the field of high-power transparent electronic devices, deep-ultraviolet photodetectors, flexible electronic skins, and energy-efficient displays, owing to their intriguing physical properties. Compared with dominant narrow bandgap semiconductor material families, 2D UWBG semiconductors are less investigated but stand out because of their propensity for high optical transparency, tunable electrical conductivity, high mobility, and ultrahigh gate dielectrics. At the current stage of research, the most intensively investigated 2D UWBG semiconductors are metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, metal halides, and metal nitrides. This paper provides an up-to-date review of recent research progress on new 2D UWBG semiconductor materials and novel physical properties. The widespread applications, i.e., transistors, photodetector, touch screen, and inverter are summarized, which employ 2D UWBG semiconductors as either a passive or active layer. Finally, the existing challenges and opportunities of the enticing class of 2D UWBG semiconductors are highlighted.

Abstract
Most van der Waals two-dimensional (2D) materials without surface dangling bonds show limited surface activities except for their edge sites. Ultrathin Bi2Se3, a topological insulator that behaves metal-like under ambient conditions, has been overlooked on its surface activities. Herein, through a topochemical conversion process, ultrathin nanoporous Bi2Se3 layers were epitaxially deposited on BiOCl nanosheets with strong electronic coupling, leading to hybrid electronic states with further bandgap narrowing. Such oriented nanoporous Bi2Se3 layers possessed largely exposed active edge sites, along with improved surface roughness and film forming ability even on inkjet-printed flexible electrodes. Superior room-temperature NO2 sensing performance was achieved compared to other 2D materials under bent conditions. Our work demonstrates that creating nanoscale features in 2D materials through topochemical heteroepitaxy is promising to achieve both favorable electronic properties and surface activity toward practical applications.

Abstract
The application of BiOCl in photocatalysis has been restricted by its low utilization of solar energy and fast recombination of charge carriers. In this study, zero-dimensional (0D) Bi2WO6 nanoparticles/two-dimensional (2D) layered BiOCl heterojunction composite was successfully constructed by facile hydrothermal and solvothermal methods. The most favorable sunlight photocatalytic activity was achieved for the as-prepared Bi2WO6–BiOCl composites with a ratio of 1%. The photocatalytic rate and mineralization efficiency of one typical antibiotic (i.e., oxytetracycline) over 1% Bi2WO6–BiOCl was about 2.7 and 5.3 times as high as that of BiOCl. Both experimental characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed that the excellent photocatalytic performance mainly arised from the effective charge separation along the Bi2WO6 and BiOCl heterojunction interface. The effective electron transfer was driven by the internal electric field at the interfacial junction. In addition, 1% Bi2WO6–BiOCl exhibited excellent stability, and no apparent deactivation was observed after 4 test cycles. Therefore, the 0D/2D Bi2WO6–BiOCl heterojunction showed a great potential for the photocatalytic degradation of emerging organic pollutants.

Abstract
2D wide-bandgap semiconductors demonstrate great potential in fabricating solar-blind ultraviolet (SBUV) photodetectors. However, the low responsivity of 2D solar-blind photodetectors still limits their practical applications. Here, high-responsivity solar-blind photodetectors are achieved based on 2D bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) flakes. The 2D BiOCl photodetectors exhibit a responsivity up to 35.7 A W-1 and a specific detectivity of 2.2 × 1010 Jones under 250 nm illumination with 17.8 µW cm-2 power density. In particular, the enhanced photodetective performances are demonstrated in BiOCl photodetectors with increasing ambient temperature. Surprisingly, their responsivity can reach 2060 A W-1 at 450 K under solar-blind light illumination, maybe owing to the formation of defective BiOCl grains evidenced by in situ transmission electron microscopy. The high responsivity throughout the solar-blind range indicates that 2D BiOCl is a promising candidate for SBUV detection.

Abstract
Two major challenges of 3D bioprinting are the retention of structural fidelity and efficient endothelialization for tissue vascularization. We address both of these issues by introducing a versatile 3D bioprinting strategy, in which a templating bioink is deposited layer-by-layer alongside a matrix bioink to establish void-free multimaterial structures. After crosslinking the matrix phase, the templating phase is sacrificed to create a well-defined 3D network of interconnected tubular channels. This void-free 3D printing (VF-3DP) approach circumvents the traditional concerns of structural collapse, deformation and oxygen inhibition, moreover, it can be readily used to print materials that are widely considered "unprintable". By pre-loading endothelial cells into the templating bioink, the inner surface of the channels can be efficiently cellularized with a confluent endothelial layer. This in-situ endothelialization method can be used to produce endothelium with a far greater uniformity than can be achieved using the conventional post-seeding approach. This VF-3DP approach can also be extended beyond tissue fabrication and towards customized hydrogel-based microfluidics and self-supported perfusable hydrogel constructs.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) is an emerging technology as a noninvasive therapeutic modality for inducing photonic cancer hyperthermia. However, current photothermal conversion agents suffer from low therapeutic efficiency and single functionality. Engineering crystal defects on the surface or substrate of semiconductors can substantially enhance their optical absorption capability as well as improve their photothermal effects in theranostic nanomedicines. In this study, a specific defect engineering strategy was developed to endow two-dimensional (2D) BiOCl nanosheets with intriguing photothermal conversion performance by creating oxygen vacancies on the surface (O-BiOCl). Importantly, the photothermal performance and photoacoustic imaging capability of the 2D O-BiOCl nanosheets could be precisely controlled by modulating the amounts of oxygen vacancies. The strong Bi-based X-ray attenuation coefficient endowed these nanosheets with the contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging capability. The high near-infrared-triggered photonic hyperthermia for tumor ablation was systematically demonstrated both in vitro at the cellular level and in vivo for tumor breast cancer mice xenograft models. Based on the demonstrated high biocompatibility of these 2D O-BiOCl nanosheets, this work not only formulates an intriguing 2D photothermal nanoagent for tumor ablation, but also provides an efficient strategy to control the photothermal performance of nanoagents by defect engineering.

Abstract
BiOCl has been identified to be a promising photocatalyst for the rapid photodegradation of organic pollutants, but its practical application was restricted by its limited photocatalytic activity. In this work, a highly reactive BiOCl decahedron photocatalyst with an exposed (001) facet was successfully hydrothermally synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method using bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3·5H2O) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) as raw materials. By adjusting the dosage of NH4Cl, the BiOCl nanoplates transformed from hexahedra with quadrilateral {110} oblique facets to decahedra with octagonal {110} and {100} oblique facets. As compared to the original BiOCl nanoplates, decahedral BiOCl possesses much more oxygen-enriched surfaces and a narrowed bandgap, resulting in enhanced photocatalytic performance. The decahedral BiOCl photocatalyst achieves a high degradability of 98% for the photodegradation of RhB after 6 min of irradiation, which is much faster than that of a hexahedral BiOCl sample.
