Bismuth tungstate (BiWO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining bismuth and tungsten oxides, notable for its photocatalytic properties and relatively high density. It is primarily investigated in research and emerging applications for environmental remediation (photocatalytic degradation of pollutants under visible light) and as a component in advanced ceramics, though it remains less mature than widely deployed alternatives like titanium dioxide. Engineers consider BiWO₃ when visible-light photocatalytic activity and bismuth-based chemistry offer advantages over conventional catalysts, particularly in water treatment and self-cleaning surface technologies.
