Bismuth phosphate (BiPO₄) is an inorganic ceramic semiconductor compound that exists in several crystalline phases with varying electrochemical and photocatalytic properties. This material is primarily investigated in research and emerging applications for photocatalysis, particularly in water purification and environmental remediation, where its bandgap and crystal structure enable visible-light-driven reactions. BiPO₄ is also explored in ion-exchange applications and as a potential host material for nuclear waste immobilization, making it of interest in nuclear engineering and advanced environmental technologies.
