including Bi-compounds are summarized in Table 10.2.
10.3 Application
10.3.1 Water Remediation
According to previous section, the function of Bi-based photocatalysts through water
remediation was extended. Bi-based nanocomposites, plasmonic composites, and
carbon-based are the most famous composites which are applied for degradation of
pollutants existed in water [134–167]. Existed pollutants include dyes, pharmaceutical, phenolic compounds, and toxic heavy metals. Table 10.3 shown some of
BiÀcompounds and composites in two forms of powder and film which applied
for degradation of pollutants.
