Abstract
In this study, single-crystalline BiSBr is synthesized using a solution-based approach and conducted a systematic characterization of its photoelectric properties and photovoltaic performances. UV photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that BiSBr is an indirect p-type semiconductor, characterized by distinct positions and compositions of the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum. The BiSBr single crystal microrod features a significant electrical conductivity of 14 800 S m-1 along the c-axis, denoting minimal carrier resistance in this direction. For photovoltaic performance assessment, the authors successfully fabricated two homogeneous BiSBr films on TiO2 porous substrates: A microsheet array film via physical vapor deposition (PVD) and solvothermal treatment, and a BiSBr microsheet film via PVD and thermal treatment. The solar cell, comprising a BiSBr microsheet array film with an architecture of fluorine-doped tin oxide FTO/TiO2/BiSBr/(I3 -/I-)/Pt, demonstrated a power conversation efficiency of 1.40%, ≈11 times that of BiSBr microsheet film counterpart. These preliminary results underscore the potential of BiSBr microsheet arrays, producible through low-cost solution processes, as adept light absorbers, enhancing photovoltaic efficiency through effective light scattering and promoting efficient electron-hole separation and transport.

Abstract
Bismuth-based ternary compounds have attracted much attention owing to their various merits, such as low toxicity and tunable electrical and optical properties. However, these compounds are yet to be understood due to the lack of suitable targets limited by immature synthesis techniques. In this work, we aimed at the synthesis, properties investigation, and photodetection application of Bi13S18I2. Mist chemical vapor deposition was adopted for the deposition of the Bi13S18I2 thin film for the first time. The deposition mechanism was discussed from the perspective of crystal phase and surface morphology. Based on the Bi13S18I2 thin film synthesized at optimal temperature, we constructed a photoelectrochemical-type photodetector. The photodetection performance was evaluated from the points of electrolyte composition, working temperature, and bias voltage. This study would pave the way for the controllable synthesis and applications of bismuth-based ternary compounds.

Abstract
A novel Bi13S18I2 structure was synthesized using a facile one-pot hydrothermal method and further optimized as an anode material using graphene. The graphene/Bi13S18I2 composite achieved a high discharge capacity with an initial value of 1126.5 mA h g-1 and a high and stable discharge capacity of 287.1 mA h g-1 after 500 cycles compared with pure Bi13S18I2, which derives from the inhibited volume expansion and high electrical conductivity obtained from graphene. In situ XRD was performed to analyze the Li storage mechanism in depth. The results support the feasibility of the new ternary sulfide Bi13S18I2 as a promising lithium ion battery.

Abstract
A nanowire-on-microrod structured polyaniline (PANI)@FeS2 hybrid was developed via a facile metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived chemical method. The in situ grown PANI nanowires on the surface of pyramidal FeS2 microrods displayed better mechanical flexibility and improved Al-storage performance. The PANI nanowires not only enhanced electron transfer during the electrochemical reaction, but also accommodated the volume expansion of FeS2 during discharge. The PANI@FeS2 hybrid as the cathode in AIBs delivered a reliable battery capacity of 152.8 mA h g-1 along with a Coulombic efficiency of >96.5% after 500 cycles at a current density of 1.5 A g-1. In addition, a high capacity retention of 160.2 mA h g-1 after 150 cycles at 0.5 A g-1 at -10 °C was achieved. These findings provide a feasible strategy by constructing a nanowire-on-microrod hybrid that can be applied in high-performance secondary batteries.

Abstract
The nanorods of bismuth sulfoiodide (BiSI) were synthesized at relatively low temperature (393 K) through a wet chemical method. The crystalline one-dimensional (1D) structure of the BiSI nanorods was confirmed using high resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM). The morphology and chemical composition of the material were examined by applying scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The average diameter of 126(3) nm and length of 1.9(1) µm of the BiSI nanorods were determined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that prepared material consists of a major orthorhombic BiSI phase (87%) and a minor amount of hexagonal Bi13S18I2 phase (13%) with no presence of other residual phases. The direct energy band gap of 1.67(1) eV was determined for BiSI film using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Two types of photodetectors were constructed from BiSI nanorods. The first one was traditional photoconductive device based on BiSI film on stiff glass substrate equipped with Au electrodes. An influence of light intensity on photocurrent response to monochromatic light (λ = 488 nm) illumination was studied at a constant bias voltage. The novel flexible photo-chargeable device was the second type of prepared photodetectors. It consisted of BiSI film and gel electrolyte layer sandwiched between polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates coated with indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. The flexible self-powered BiSI photodetector exhibited open-circuit photovoltage of 68 mV and short-circuit photocurrent density of 0.11 nA/cm2 under light illumination with intensity of 0.127 W/cm2. These results confirmed high potential of BiSI nanorods for use in self-powered photodetectors and photo-chargeable capacitors.

Abstract
Semiconductors with multiple anions currently provide a new materials platform from which improved functionality emerges, posing new challenges and opportunities in material science. This review has endeavored to emphasize the versatility of the emerging family of semiconductors consisting of mixed chalcogen and halogen anions, known as "chalcohalides". As they are multifunctional, these materials are of general interest to the wider research community, ranging from theoretical/computational scientists to experimental materials scientists. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development of emerging Bi- and Sb-based as well as a new Cu, Sn, Pb, Ag, and hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite-based chalcohalides. We first highlight the high-throughput computational techniques to design and develop these chalcohalide materials. We then proceed to discuss their optoelectronic properties, band structures, stability, and structural chemistry employing theoretical and experimental underpinning toward high-performance devices. Next, we present an overview of recent advancements in the synthesis and their wide range of applications in energy conversion and storage devices. Finally, we conclude the review by outlining the impediments and important aspects in this field as well as offering perspectives on future research directions to further promote the development of chalcohalide materials in practical applications in the future.

Abstract
Solvent-solvent and solvent-anion pairings in battery electrolytes have been identified for the first time by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These hitherto unknown interactions are enabled by the hydrogen bonding induced by the strong Lewis acid Li+ , and exist between the electron-deficient hydrogen (δ+ H) present in the solvent molecules and either other solvent molecules or negatively-charged anions. Complementary with the well-established strong but short-ranged Coulombic interactions between cation and solvent molecules, such weaker but longer-ranged hydrogen-bonding casts the formation of an extended liquid structure in electrolytes that is influenced by their components (solvents, additives, salts, and concentration), which in turn dictates the ion transport within bulk electrolytes and across the electrolyte-electrode interfaces. The discovery of this new inter-component force completes the picture of how electrolyte components interact and arrange themselves, sets the foundation to design better electrolytes on the fundamental level, and probes battery performances.
