Bi₄V₄O₁₆ is a mixed-valence bismuth vanadate ceramic compound belonging to the family of complex metal oxides with layered or tunnel crystal structures. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for photocatalytic and electrochemical applications, where its variable oxidation states and band structure enable light-driven reactions and ion transport; it represents an alternative to more common vanadates and bismuth oxides for applications requiring visible-light activity or enhanced catalytic performance.
