· 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.

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.
