Bismuth molybdate (Bi₂(MoO₄)₃) is an inorganic semiconductor compound combining bismuth and molybdenum oxide phases, typically studied as a polycrystalline ceramic material. It is primarily investigated in photocatalytic and electrochemical applications, particularly for water purification, pollutant degradation under visible light, and gas sensing due to its narrow bandgap and moderate charge-carrier mobility. While not yet widely deployed in high-volume industrial production, this material family offers promise as an alternative to titanium dioxide photocatalysts for applications where visible-light activity and cost-effectiveness are priorities.
