Optical and Structural Property Tuning in Physical Vapor Deposited Bismuth Halides Cs3Bi2(I1–xBrx)9 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1)

. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering allowed defining the range of alloyed compositions where single-phase compositions are found. Finally, preliminary photocatalytic activity tests on the degradation of methylene blue provided solid data indicating the future possible exploitation of Bi-based perovskite derivative materials as active photocatalysts.
