A reader recently requested a chemistry lesson about bismuth. Why?? Beats me. It takes all kinds. Some people eat sweetbreads and some like nipple clamps. What follows may or may not be worse. And, by ...

Bismuth tungstate (Bi₂WO₆) nanostructures have emerged as a versatile class of visible-light-driven photocatalysts, combining favourable band gaps, layered Aurivillius frameworks and robust chemical ...

Bismuth titanate nanostructures, particularly layered perovskite phases such as Bi4Ti3O12 and related compositions, have emerged as versatile photocatalysts owing to their robust chemical stability, ...

Such molecules have potentially interesting and attractive properties for catalyzing chemical reactions or for use in materials for electronic components. The analogue with atoms of bismuth (a heavy ...
