Bismuth Vanadate Photocatalyst – High-Performance Environmental Yellow Pigment
Photocatalyst
Introduction
Bismuth Vanadate (BiVO₄) is a high-performance inorganic yellow pigment and light-responsive functional material. Originating from Japanese environmental research, BiVO₄ acts as a nanoscale photocatalyst capable of decomposing airborne pollutants, organic VOCs, bacteria, and odors under light of specific wavelengths. When illuminated (≈388 nm), BiVO₄ produces reactive oxygen species that oxidize and break down contaminants into harmless CO₂ and H₂O. Its strong photocatalytic activity, stability, and non-toxic nature make it suitable for coatings, plastics, environmental purification materials, and other applications requiring long-lasting, environmentally friendly performance.

Bismuth Vanadate Photocatalyst – Environmental Yellow Pigment is an inorganic yellow pigment and functional photocatalyst from Kela Materials based on bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄). It provides a brilliant, high-chroma yellow shade with excellent weather resistance, thermal stability and chemical resistance. BiVO₄ is chromium(VI)-free and cadmium-free, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to chrome yellow pigments and supporting photocatalytic degradation of certain organic pollutants under light.
