· 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.

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.
