· BiVO3

BiVO₄ (bismuth vanadate) is an n-type semiconductor compound with a monoclinic crystal structure, belonging to the class of metal oxide semiconductors. It is primarily investigated as a photocatalytic material for environmental remediation and energy applications, valued for its narrow bandgap (~2.4 eV) that enables visible-light absorption without requiring UV excitation. While still largely in the research and development phase rather than widespread commercial production, BiVO₄ shows promise as an alternative to titanium dioxide in water purification, pollutant degradation, and photoelectrochemical water splitting for hydrogen generation.
