· Bi5IO7

Bi₅IO₇ is a bismuth iodide oxide semiconductor compound belonging to the mixed-valent bismuth oxide family, engineered for photocatalytic and optoelectronic applications. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for photocatalysis (especially water purification and pollutant degradation under visible light), photoelectrochemical devices, and potential photovoltaic applications, where its layered structure and narrow bandgap offer advantages over conventional titanium dioxide-based systems. The iodine doping strategy makes it notable for enhanced light absorption and charge carrier dynamics compared to undoped bismuth oxides, positioning it as a candidate material for sustainable water treatment and environmental remediation where visible-light activity is required.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
