    Product Description:
    Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) is an inorganic compound with a monoclinic scheelite crystal structure. It is a yellow, non-toxic, and chemically stable solid. It is primarily known as a visible-light-responsive photocatalyst and a key component in photoelectrochemical cells. Its most prominent application is as a photoanode material for solar water splitting due to its suitable band gap (~2.4 eV), good charge transport properties, and stability in aqueous electrolytes under illumination. It is also widely researched as a pigment, replacing toxic cadmium and lead-based yellows in paints, coatings, and plastics. Furthermore, its photocatalytic activity is exploited for environmental remediation, such as the degradation of organic pollutants under visible light. Other significant uses include its role as a solid electrolyte in oxygen sensors and as a component in multi-ferroic materials. Research continues to focus on doping and nanostructuring BiVO4 to enhance its charge separation efficiency and overall photocatalytic performance for sustainable energy applications.
