General description

Bismuth (Bi) is a brittle, lustrous metal known for its unique properties and low toxicity. This product features a particle size ranging from 1-12 mm, a resistivity of 129 μΩ-cm at 20°C, and a density of 9.8 g/mL at 25 °C. Bismuth is recognized for its unique properties, including its expansion upon solidification, which makes it advantageous in casting applications. Its low melting point of 271 °C allows for easy processing, making it suitable for a range of material science applications. Our high-purity bismuth is characterized by an assay of 99.999% trace metals basis, ensuring exceptional quality and reliability for sensitive applications in electronics, material science, and research.

Application

  • Research Update: Bismuth based materials for photovoltaics: This research update briefly summarizes the developments in bismuth materials for use in photovoltaics, focusing on bismuth-based perovskites and bismuth halides (Cates & Bernechea, 2018).
  • Bismuth-based photocatalysts for solar energy conversion: This study reviews bismuth-based photocatalysts, which are gaining attention for their efficiency in solar energy conversion (Wang, Wang & Huang, 2020).
