“…As showed in Figure S7c, Supporting Information, most of the heterointerfaces formed between BP and RP were vertical to MWCNTs, which could afford sufficient K‐ion immigration along the perpendicular direction of MWCNT that facilitated the potassiation process (Figure S7, Supporting Information). [ 28 ] The promoted electron transport was originated from BP with high electrical conductivities. In addition, the alignment of BP along the axial direction of MWCNT further promoted the electron transport inside the BRPH@MWCNT (Figure 1d).…”

Potassium‐ion battery represents a promising alternative of conventional lithium‐ion batteries in sustainable and grid‐scale energy storage. Among various anode materials, elemental phosphorus (P) has been actively pursued owing to the ideal natural abundance, theoretical capacity, and electrode potential. However, the sluggish redox kinetics of elemental P has hindered fast and deep potassiation process toward the formation of final potassiation product (K3P), which leads to inferior reversible capacity and rate performance. Here, it is shown that rational design on black/red P heterostructure can significantly improve K‐ion adsorption, injection and immigration, thus for the first time unlocking K3P as the reversible potassiation product for elemental P anodes. Density functional theory calculations reveal the fast adsorption and diffusion kinetics of K‐ion at the heterostructure interface, which delivers a highly reversible specific capacity of 923 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1, excellent rate capability (335 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1), and cycling performance (83.3% capacity retention at 0.8 A g−1 after 300 cycles). These results can unlock other sluggish and irreversible battery chemistries toward sustainable and high‐performing energy storage.

“…For example, the absorption upper limit of Zn x Cd 1−x S is about 900 nm. [ 10 ] Integration of two or more semiconductive components with complementary photoresponsive ranges is a novel and effective method to achieve photoresponse to the full solar spectrum. [ 11 ] For instance, Yu and co‐workers united three semiconducting sulfides, namely ZnS, CdS, and Cu 2−x S, into a single nanocrystal through a colloidal chemical transformation strategy and realized full harvest of solar energy.…”

Single‐component semiconductors with photoresponse to full solar spectrum are highly desirable to simplify the device structure of commercial photodetectors and to improve solar conversion or photocatalytic efficiency but remain scarce. This work reports bottom‐up photosynthesis of an air‐stable radical semiconductor using BiI3 and a photochromism‐active benzidine derivative as a photosensitive functional motif. This semiconductor shows photoconductivity to full solar spectrum contributed by radical and non‐radical forms of the benzidine derivative. It has also the potential to detect X‐rays because of strong X‐ray absorption coefficient. This finding opens up a new synthetic method for radical semiconductors and may find applications on extending photoresponsive ranges of perovskites, transition metal sulfides, and other materials.

Ag eneric modular synthetic strategy for the fabrication of as eries of binary-ternary group II-VI and group I-III-VI coupled semiconductor nano-heterostructures is reported. Using Ag 2 Se nanocrystals first as acatalyst and then as sacrificial seeds,f our dual semiconductor heterostructures were designed with similar shapes:C dSe-AgInSe 2 ,C dSeAgGaSe 2 ,Z nSe-AgInSe 2 ,a nd ZnSe-AgGaSe 2 .A mong these, dispersive type-II heterostructures are further explored for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water and these are observed to be superior catalysts than the binary or ternary semi-conductors.D etails of the chemistry of this modular synthesis have been studied and the photophysical processes involved in catalysis are investigated.
