Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) has been prompted many investigations into the development of next-generation energy storage systems on account of its unique physicochemical properties. Although there are still some challenges, the application of metallic Bi-based materials in the field of energy storage still has good prospects. Herein, we systematically review the application and development of metallic Bi-based anode in lithium ion batteries and beyond-lithium ion batteries. The reaction mechanism, modification methodologies and their relationship with electrochemical performance are discussed in detail. Additionally, owing to the unique physicochemical properties of Bi and Bi-based alloys, some innovative investigations of metallic Bi-based materials in alkali metal anode modification and sulfur cathodes are systematically summarized for the first time. Following the obtained insights, the main unsolved challenges and research directions are pointed out on the research trend and potential applications of the Bi-based materials in various energy storage fields in the future.

[PMID: 37915241 PMCID: PMC10658452 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c11580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
Since the discovery of laser-induced graphite/graphene, there has been a notable surge of scientific interest in advancing diverse methodologies for their synthesis and applications. This study focuses on the utilization of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser to achieve graphitization of polydopamine (PDA) deposited on the surface of titania nanotubes. The partial graphitization is corroborated through Raman and XPS spectroscopies and supported by water contact angle, nanomechanical, and electrochemical measurements. Reactive molecular dynamics simulations confirm the possibility of graphitization in the nanosecond time scale with the evolution of NH3, H2O, and CO2 gases. A thorough exploration of the lasing parameter space (wavelength, pulse energy, and number of pulses) was conducted with the aim of improving either electrochemical activity or photocurrent generation. Whereas the 532 nm laser pulses interacted mostly with the PDA coating, the 365 nm pulses were absorbed by both PDA and the substrate nanotubes, leading to a higher graphitization degree. The majority of the photocurrent and quantum efficiency enhancement is observed in the visible light between 400 and 550 nm. The proposed composite is applied as a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor of serotonin in nanomolar concentrations. Because of the suppressed recombination and facilitated charge transfer caused by the laser graphitization, the proposed composite exhibits significantly enhanced PEC performance. In the sensing application, it showed superior sensitivity and a limit of detection competitive with nonprecious metal materials.

Zhang F, Shen Y, Xu H, Zhao X. Bismuth Nanoparticle-Embedded Carbon Microrod for High-Rate Electrochemical Magnesium Storage. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2023; 15:23353-23360.

Abstract
Bismuth metal is regarded as a promising magnesium storage anode material for magnesium-ion batteries due to its high theoretical volumetric capacity and a low alloying potential versus magnesium metal. However, the design of highly dispersed bismuth-based composite nanoparticles is always used to achieve efficient magnesium storage, which is adverse to the development of high-density storage. Herein, a bismuth nanoparticle-embedded carbon microrod (Bi⊂CM), which is prepared via annealing of the bismuth metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF), is developed for high-rate magnesium storage. The use of the Bi-MOF precursor synthesized at an optimized solvothermal temperature of 120 °C benefits the formation of the Bi⊂CM-120 composite with a robust structure and a high carbon content. As a result, the as-prepared Bi⊂CM-120 anode compared to pure Bi and other Bi⊂CM anodes exhibits the best rate performance of magnesium storage at various current densities from 0.05 to 3 A g-1. For example, the reversible capacity of the Bi⊂CM-120 anode at 3 A g-1 is ∼17 times higher than that of the pure Bi anode. This performance is also competitive among those of the previously reported Bi-based anodes. Importantly, the microrod structure of the Bi⊂CM-120 anode material remained upon cycling, indicative of good cycling stability.

Recent Progress in Bi-Based Anodes for Magnesium Ion Batteries. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27227751. [PMID: 36431846 PMCID: PMC9698783 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27227751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
Rechargeable magnesium ion batteries (MIBs) have attracted increasing interest due to abundant reserves, high theoretical specific capacities and safety. However, the incompatibility between Mg metal and conventional electrolytes, among the most serious challenges, restrains their development. Replacing Mg metal with alloy-type anodes offers an effective strategy to circumvent the surface passivation issue of Mg metal in conventional electrolytes. Among them, Bi has the most potential in Mg storage owing to its unique characteristics. Herein, the advantages/challenges and progress of Bi-based anodes in MIBs are summarized. The theoretical evaluations, battery configurations, electrode designs, electrochemical properties as well as Mg storage mechanisms are summarized and discussed. Moreover, the key issues and some views on the future development of Bi-based anodes in MIBs are provided.

Abstract
A post-lithium battery era is envisaged, and it is urgent to find new and sustainable systems for energy storage. Multivalent metals, such as magnesium, are very promising to replace lithium, but the low mobility of magnesium ion and the lack of suitable electrolytes are serious concerns. This review mainly discusses the advantages and shortcomings of the new rechargeable magnesium batteries, the future directions and the possibility of using solid electrolytes. Special emphasis is put on the diversity of structures, and on the theoretical calculations about voltage and structures. A critical issue is to select the combination of the positive and negative electrode materials to achieve an optimum battery voltage. The theoretical calculations of the structure, intercalation voltage and diffusion path can be very useful for evaluating the materials and for comparison with the experimental results of the magnesium batteries which are not hassle-free.
