BiOBr
semiconductor· BiOBr
BiOBr is a bismuth oxyhalide semiconductor compound consisting of bismuth, oxygen, and bromine elements. It is primarily investigated as a photocatalytic material in research and emerging applications, valued for its layered crystal structure and visible-light absorption capabilities that make it a promising alternative to titanium dioxide for environmental remediation. The material shows particular potential in water treatment and pollutant degradation due to its ability to generate electron-hole pairs under visible light, though it remains largely in the development stage for commercial adoption.
