(Bismuth Oxide Powder)
Bismuth Oxide is yellow, monoclinic crystal powder. It is used in many applications. In electronics, it is an important component for the production of ceramic capacitors and electronic ceramics. It is also used in artificial bone imaging and pressure sensitive resistors. In addition, it is a good analytic reagent. It is also widely used in the inorganic synthesis of bismuth salts. It is soluble in acid and alkali.
Bismuth oxide has five crystallographic polymorphs. It has a monoclinic e-phase, a body-centred cubic g-phase, and a cubic fluorite-type b-phase. The e-phase has a complex structure with layers of bismuth atoms. The b-phase has a monoclinic crystalline structure and a very high temperature c-phase. It is used as a cathode in solid oxide fuel cells. It is also used in optical coatings, gas sensors, and optoelectronics.
Micron-bismuth oxide powder has large numbers of oxygen vacancies, which are useful for the production of solid oxide fuel cell electrolytes. It is a good substitute for lead uranium and can be used in the manufacture of ceramic components and piezoelectric ceramics.
It is also an ideal material for the preparation of zeolite and LDH adsorbents, because it has controllable size and content. It could be enhanced with elemental silver. It has a relatively stable pH.
It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including the synthesis of perovskite structured oxides, the production of electronic ceramic materials, and the preparation of strontium salts. However, it is difficult to recycle.
