In order to solve the problem of environmental health hazards caused by phthalate esters, a series pure Bi2O2CO3 and light (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm Eu) heavy (Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb Lu) rare earth-doped samples were prepared hydrothermal method. The crystalline phase composition physical structure calcined at 300 °C studied, we found that earth ion doping promoted transformation β-Bi2O3 phase, t...

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) coatings and composite containing this have been studied due to their potential applications in gas sensing, optoelectronics, photocatalysis, even tribology. Two parametric models based on chemical features proposed with the aim of predicting lubricity response oxides. However, such predict contradictory values coefficient friction (COF) for Bi2O3. In study, we deposited B...

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) has attracted considerable research interest in test thin films made utilizing the reactive plasma sputtering (RPS) technology-assisted annealing treatment, allowing development of diverse BixOx films. SEM, phase X-ray diffraction patterns, UV-Vis spectrometers, and D.C. two-probes are used to identify crystallographic structure assess films’ optical-electrical properties....

Introduction: External radiotherapy is the most common method of radiotherapy which the most important problem associated with is that there is no difference between healthy and tumor tissues in dose absorption. One way to differentiate the dose sensitivity is to use metal-based nanoparticles. Bismuth oxide nanoparticles are good candidates for cancer radiotherapy. In this study, we investigate...

This work reported the radiation shielding characteristic of bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glass system. The density specially-developed samples was increased from 2.21 to 4.01 g/cm3 with addition Bi2O3, despite fact molar volume is decease within 85.43–54.79 cm3/mol. WinXcom program used approximate effect Bi2O3 on gamma parameters glasses. μm values decrease increase concentratio...

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Prof. Michael Mehring. The cover picture shows the degradation of the model dye rhodamine B (RhB) in water using β-Bi2O3 nanoparticles as photocatalyst, which was prepared from pre-organized bismuth oxido clusters. For more details, see the Full Paper on p. 146 ff.

A combination of X-ray diffraction, analytical-electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, impedance spectroscopy and electromotive force measurements (for oxide-ion transport number measurements, tion) are used to report on the influence a small amount continuous Bi2O3-rich phase along grain boundaries in sample composition x = 0.4 (BS0.4BT) high temperature dielectric solid soluti...
