Bismuth(III) oxide, nanopowder, 99.9%

Description

CAS: 1304-76-3 | Bi2O3 | 465.96 g/mol

Bismuth(III) oxide is used in the preparation of BiFeO₃perovskite nanoparticles. It finds use in disinfectants, magnets, glass, rubber, vulcanization, fireproofing papers and polymers and catalysts. Bismuth trioxide brings about the dragon's eggs effect in fireworks, as a replacement of red lead. Bismuth(III) compounds are attractive reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis because of their low cost and ease of handling. Bismuth trioxide nanoparticles also play an important role in high energy gas generators. The alpha crystalline form of bismuth(III) oxide has p-type electronic conductivity.
