Bismuth has been around for thousands of years, yet it’s only been used in a handful of applications - and mostly to treat stomach ailments. But as the world looks for cleaner and safer energy, bismuth might soon become the star of the heavy metals family.

Company went out of business because there was nobody left to sell to.

So, these indoor light harvesting devices will still need a small battery, which will have a finite lifetime. Unless the power consumption becomes so small that supercapacitors can handle it. So indoor light harvesting would just have two stages of inefficiency, one from your (hopefully) LED lights, and another for the bismuth semiconductor efficiency. Vs directly recharging at an infrequent interval. The benefit there is really in convenience, that you can let it do its own thing, it’s not really going to help reduce battery materials consumption. It will need to buffer its own power and that small battery will get hammered and will probably need replaced after a few years anyway. There may indeed be an overall reduction in metal used for the battery, which may still exist even after factoring in the extra metal in the photovoltaic, but that’s still a smaller benefit than the complete elimination of battery consumption suggested in this video. Nevertheless, getting more different materials for photovoltaics is a big deal, especially considering we can make multi-layered solar panels which all together collect a much wider spectrum of light and improve their output. I’m just a bit dubious about the specific battery eliminating future arising from these. But adding this tech into solar farming is going to be good.

All valid points! Robert mentioned supercapacitors in our interview as a much-needed area of research to expand on this technology.

@@VergeScience totally understandable. A neat thing about those calculators is they usually run directly from the panel voltage, with a wide tolerance in the electronics. Very minimal buffering like a small capacitor. Of course the downside is, as you say, if you cover it it’s useless. There could very well be a lot of IoT devices that are acceptable to run in that fashion, such as a camera which only runs when your floodlight gets activated anyway. But certainly other types of devices will need to be able to run all through the night. Supercapacitors are a promising field of research, if they can be made to store enough charge for 12-24 hours they could really potentially replace batteries for things like solar garden lights (which are famed for wearing out their batteries’ ~1000 cycles after only 2-3 years of daily cycling, since they’re always-on at night they’re far harder on their batteries than something like a smart doorbell). But with the current state of the art, it’s not there yet and we’d still need regular battery cells to go along with the indoor photovoltaics. Thanks for the reply!

@@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065 please note any comments about conversion losses are not linked to whether it’s a good idea or not. The convenience factor is absolutely real and would have real usability benefits compared to having to recharge a device every few months or weeks or days. Now, about your main point, you can’t say _how_ inefficient it will be without testing it, but thermodynamics requires every time you convert energy from one form to another, you have some waste energy. Something is very good when it’s 80-90% efficient, but you still want to avoid needless energy conversion stages if possible. And lots of things, most things in engineering, are ~30% efficient. Which just makes it an even better idea to minimise conversion steps. That’s just a thing about (electrical) engineering, separate and apart from any of the details of these specific types of semiconductors. And, like, silicon can be anywhere from a few % to ~20% efficient in solar panels, so there’s a wide range of possibilities in practical use for this new type of semiconductor as well. Spending 10W of light on 5W of charging is decent. 10W of light on 0.5W of charging is not so great, depending on how heavy your chips and workloads inside are.
Here's an application. Window shades made out of leightweigt bismuth solar panel strips. When you already have to keep most of the sunlight out of your room, might as well capture it and use it for power.

Bismuth is actually the most Diamagnetic metal, which means that in the presence of an external magnetic field, it produces an opposing magnetic field. This is different from induction, which requires a moving magnetic field to generate a current, which then creates its own opposing magnetic field. This property of diamagnetism means that it can be used in tandem with regular magnets to levitate small magnets stably. Look up diamagnetic levitation for some cool videos

Ahh yes bismuth the blacksmith in steven universe will now be smithing energy.
A quick look at the various bismuth compound bandgaps and they all seem way too high. The lowest I found at a quick glance was 2.7 eV which means you can't absorb any light greater than 460nm. That's throwing away most of the visible spectrum which makes the indoor use case ultra questionable since you would be only capturing the blue peak emitted from LEDs. Furthermore, if it's just a single junction you not going to get more than 33% efficiency (theoretical limit) so how big a panel are you intending to use on "devices" indoors especially considering that you not getting anywhere close to 1kW/m^2 that one can obtain outdoors. Perhaps Bismuth compounds could be better suited for power electronics semiconductors but Galium Nitride is already capturing that opportunity. Nonetheless was an interesting video and thank you for releasing educational entertainment. We need a bunch more of it nowadays.

I fully agree, this video is severely lacking in facts and numbers. Do they think we're too stupid to warrant a thorough explanation of the issue and solution at hand? Sorry if that is harsh, I just can't stand these superficial videos that don't have any real content. Now, that being said onto some proper content: It should have been linked by the creators of this video, but here is at least one relevant papers by the Professor: doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201909983 (linked here: www.imperial.ac.uk/people/r.hoye/research.html) The paper has some good information. Apparently the video is about a Bismuth-oxygen-iodine compound which does indeed have a useful bandgap: "We previously measured the bandgap of BiOI to be 1.9 eV, and the absorption coefficient to be on the order of 10e-4 cm−1 above the band edge. While the bandgap is wider and absorption coefficient smaller than the related BiI3 compound (1.67 eV and ≈105 cm−1, respectively), the bandgap of BiOI is close to the *optimum for top cells* in four-terminal tandems with silicon, and the absorption coefficient adequate for achieving a spectroscopically limited maximum efficiency *exceeding 20% in single*-*junction* devices" (emphasis mine) Also rather defect resistant as is known from perovskites.

For anyone wondering, a larger band gap would mean that it requires a higher energy photon to create an electrical current. Higher energy photons have shorter wavelengths. Infrared has very low energy and long wavelength, UV is high energy short wave, and visible light is in the middle (:

If the batteries can be used there, why would they? They would require to either adapt their factories to use bismuth as batteries, hire a third partner to deliver and then there is no further cost and payment for frequently switching out batteries. Like all things, a CEO or stakeholders can't live with the minimum money like middleclass, they want money. More. More. More.
