Bismuth vanadate

Description

Bismuth vanadate is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula BiVO 4. It is a bright yellow solid.  And it has been widely studied as a visible-light photocatalyst with a narrow band gap less than 2.4 eV. It stands for “composite inorganic colored pigment” or CICP. More specifically,Bismuth vanadate is a mixed metal oxide. . It occurs naturally in the form of the rare minerals vanadium, vanadium, and orthovanite.
Bismuth Vanadium Oxide is a bright yellow powder that may have a green tinge. When used as a pigment, it has high chroma and excellent hiding power. In nature, it can occur as the mineral vanadium, orthovandite, and orthovandite, depending on the specific allomorph formed. Its synthesis was first recorded in a pharmaceutical patent in 1924, and its widespread use as a pigment began in the mid-1980s. Today it is manufactured around the world for use in pigments.
Bismuth Vanadium Oxide is mainly used in high-end bright single-color industrial coatings and automotive coatings to provide products with excellent weather resistance, good gloss retention and high hiding power. Coated products are also suitable for plastic products.
Appearance: yellow powder Usage: colorants, photocatalysts, coatings, ink additives, etc.
BiVO 4 has received widespread attention as a photocatalyst for water splitting and environmental remediation. In the monoclinic phase, BiVO 4 is an n-type photoactive semiconductor with a band gap of 2.4 eV, which has been studied for water splitting after doping with W and Mo. BiVO 4 photoanodes have demonstrated record solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiencies of 5.2% for planar films and 8.2% for BiVO 4 core-shell nanorods (the highest among metal oxide photoelectrodes), and have very simple materials and Cheap advantage.
The most technologically advanced alkaline stabilized bismuth vanadate yellow for the architectural coatings market.
These products are suitable for construction, industrial, coil and powder coatings
