Perspectives on the use of bismuth-based materials for sensing and removal of water pollutants

Bismuth-based materials are among the most versatile species for the production of electroactive, adsorptive, and photocatalytic materials. Their high tuneability has spread their use in many fields of application, proving, for instance, to be one of the most solid solutions for water monitoring and purification. Accordingly, we summarize the most recent and cutting-edge achievements of bismuth-based materials in the field of water research.
