The book begins with an overview of bismuth as well as bismuth oxyhalides and the fabrication process. It then reviews the state-of-the-art improvements in bismuth oxyhalides including elemental doping, surface modification and many others. Photocatalytic applications of bismuth oxyhalides along with their experimental and theoretical studies are discussed. The book also explores bismuth oxyhalides for wastewater treatment, reduction of carbon dioxide, and nitrogen fixation and finally, the various issues and potential solutions that could help with the development of effective photocatalytic bismuth oxyhalides.  aEarly-career researchers, postgraduate students and experienced researchers working with the oxyhalides of bismuth and their photocatalytic applications.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aMuhammad Ikram is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Government College University Lahore, a position he has held since 2017. He received his PhD from GCU Lahore in 2015 through the Pak-US joint project in conjunction with the University of Delaware. He received the Seal of Excellence Marie Sk±odowska Curie Actions Individual Fellowship in 2017 and 2020, and he was included in the top 2% of scientists from Pakistan announced by Stanford University in 2021 and 2022. He was awarded an IOP outstanding reviewer award in nanoscience and nanotechnology in 2021 and is the author of over 200 international publications and five books with an h-index of 42. Muhammad Ahsaan Bari obtained his Master's degree in Material Physics from GCU Lahore in 2022. He completed his M. Phil research work in the Solar Cell Applications Laboratory at GCU Lahore and later worked as Research Associate in the same Laboratory on the field of catalytic and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes.  aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on April 11, 2024).  aBismuth compounds.  aHalides.  aInorganic compoundsxSynthesis.  aPhotocatalysis.  aNanostructured materialsxIndustrial use. 7aMaterials science.2bicssc 7aTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Materials Science / General.2bisacsh1 aBari, Muhammad Ahsaan,eauthor.2 aInstitute of Physics (Great Britain),epublisher. 8iPrint version:z9780750359320z9780750359351 0aIOP (Series).pRelease 24.  aIOP ebooks.p2024 collection.4 uhttps://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5934-4
