Bioi
BiOI is bismuth oxyiodide, a member of the BiOX family (X = Cl, Br, I) of layered oxyhalides. Its chemical formula is BiOI, and it is studied as a p-type semiconductor with activity in the visible spectrum.
BiOI crystallizes in a layered structure in which positively charged [Bi2O2]2+ sheets alternate with iodide layers.
Synthesis of BiOI can be achieved by several methods, including hydrothermal or solvothermal routes, precipitation, and
Applications of BiOI center on its visible-light photocatalytic activity. It has been investigated for degradation of
Enhancements for BiOI performance commonly involve forming heterojunctions with materials like TiO2 or g-C3N4, adding noble
BiOI is part of the broader BiOX family, with related compounds BiOCl and BiOBr offering different band
