Abstract
With the development of various flexible electronic devices, flexible energy storage devices have attracted more research attention. Binder-free flexible batteries, without a current collector, binder, and conductive agent, have higher energy density and lower manufacturing costs than traditional sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). However, preparing binder-free anodes with high electrochemical performance and flexibility remains a great challenge. In this study, a binary self-assembly composite of an ordered Bi4Se3/Bi2O2Se lamellar architecture wrapped by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was embedded in graphene with strong interfacial interaction to form Bi2O2Se/Bi4Se3@CNTs@rGO (BCG), which was used as a binder-free anode for SIBs. A unique "one-changes-into-two" phenomenon was observed: the layered Bi2Se3 was transformed into a unique layered Bi4Se3/Bi2O2Se heterojunction structure, which not only provides more electrochemical channels but also reduces internal stress to improve the stability of the material structure. BCG-2 showed excellent sodium-ion storage, delivering a reversible capacity of 346 mA h/g at 100 mA/g and maintaining a capacity of 235 mA h/g over 50 cycles. Even at a high current density of 1 A/g, it retains a capacity of 105 mA h/g after 1000 cycles. This unique design concept can also be employed in synthesizing other binder-free electrodes to improve their properties.

Abstract
Cost and energy reductions in the production process of bismuth chalcogenide (BC) semiconductor materials are essential to make thermoelectric generators comprised of BCs profitable and CO2 neutral over their life cycle. In this study, as an eco-friendly production method, bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanoparticles were synthesized using the following five strains of chalcogen-metabolizing bacteria: Pseudomonas stutzeri NT-I, Pseudomonas sp. RB, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia TI-1, Ochrobactrum anthropi TI-2, and O. anthropi TI-3 under aerobic conditions. All strains actively volatilized selenium (Se) by reducing selenite, possibly to organoselenides. In the growth media containing bismuth (Bi) and Se, all strains removed Bi and Se concomitantly and synthesized nanoparticles containing Bi and Se as their main components. Particles synthesized by strain NT-I had a theoretical elemental composition of Bi2Se3, whereas those synthesized by other strains contained a small amount of sulfur in addition to Bi and Se, making strain NT-I the best Bi2Se3 synthesizer among the strains used in this study. The particle sizes were 50-100 nm in diameter, which is sufficiently small for nanostructured semiconductor materials that exhibit quantum size effect. Successful synthesis of Bi2Se3 nanoparticles could be attributed to the high Se-volatilizing activities of the bacterial strains. Selenol-containing compounds as intermediates of Se-volatilizing metabolic pathways, such as methane selenol and selenocysteine, may play an important role in biosynthesis of Bi2Se3.

Abstract
Bimetallic compounds have been proved superior suppression effect on smoke emission during combustion of polymers. In this work, MoS2/Bi2Se3 (MB) hybrids were prepared by a facile wet chemical method and showed superior performance on smoke suppression of EP matrix during combustion. N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP) was employed to exfoliate molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets in a recyclable method, which showed high efficiency and was recyclable. Exfoliated MoS2 exhibited large surface area and used as carriers to synthesize MB hybrids. Considering the catalytic effect of bismuth and molybdenum, the hybrids had a great influence on the smoke emission behaviors of EP composites. The smoke production was obviously suppressed during the flaming combustion (more than 22% and 23% decrease obtained from cone calorimeter and steady state tube furnace, respectively) or smolder processes (more than 23% decrease obtained from smoke chamber) at only 1 wt% content of MB hybrids. What's more, due to superior dispersion state, the addition of MB hybrids also enhanced the mechanical properties of EP matrix, including wear resistance and tensile property. This work provided a safe and green exfoliation method of MoS2 to prepare polymers/MoS2 composites and also constructed a novel binary hybrids for enhancing combination performances of polymers.

Abstract
Microwave assisted Bi2Se3 nanoparticles were synthesized from five different solvents DMF, EG, EG+H2O, EDA+dil.HNO3 and N2H4+H2O+Ethanol. The influence of solvents on purity of the compound was analysed by using X-ray diffraction patterns. The result indicates pure rhombohedral Bi2Se3 nanoparticles formed for N2H4+H2O+Ethanol. The presence of vibrational bands in the range of 400-800 cm(-1) is confirmed the formation of Bi2Se3. The maximum optical absorption observed around 450 nm and the band gap values are found in the range of 1.5 eV-2.17 eV for all the solvents. The nanostructure of the Bi2Se3 particles change with solvents. From the experimental results, the solvent N2H4+H2O+Ethanol produces pure nanosize Bi2Se3 particles under the microwave assisted method.

Abstract
Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanostructures were synthesized via solvothermal method. The crystallinity of the as-synthesized sample has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, which shows the formation of rhombohedral Bi2Se3. Electron microscopy examination indicates that the Bi2Se3 nanoparticles have hexagonal flake-like shape. The effect of the synthesis temperature on the morphology of the Bi2Se3 nanostructures has also been investigated. It is found that the particle size increases with the synthesis temperature. Thermoelectric properties of the Bi2Se3 nanostructures were also measured, and the maximum value of dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) of 0.096 was obtained at 523 K.
