Abstract

Organic pollutants pose a significant threat to water safety, and their degradation is of paramount importance. Photocatalytic technology has emerged as a promising approach for environmental remediation, and Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) has been shown to exhibit remarkable potential for photocatalytic degradation of water pollutants, with its excellent crystal structure properties and visible light photocatalytic activity. This review presents an overview of the crystal properties and photocatalytic mechanism of perovskite bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), as well as a summary of various strategies for enhancing its efficiency in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. These strategies include pure phase preparation, microscopic modulation, composite modification of BiFeO3, and the integration of Fenton-like reactions and external field-assisted methods to improve its photocatalytic performance. The review emphasizes the impact of each strategy on photocatalytic enhancement. By providing comprehensive strategies for improving the efficiency of BiFeO3 photocatalysis, this review inspires new insights for efficient degradation of organic pollutants using BiFeO3 photocatalysis and contributes to the development of photocatalysis in environmental remediation.
