Table 1. Comparison of Photocatalytic Performance of δ-Bi2O3 NPs with Other Photocatalytic Systems.

s. no. materials photocatalytic performance refs
1 CuO/Bi2O3 nanocomposite at acidic pH and 0.2 g/L catalyst, degradation was higher (87.76%) (50)
2 β-Bi2O3 micro-flakes indigo carmine and acid violet 7 dyes were 99 and 87% degraded, respectively, within 15 min of irradiation. whereas only 21% degradation was obtained for Rhodamine B dye. (51)
3 α/β-Bi2O3 composite In a solution having a mixture of indigo carmine and rhodamine B, the catalyst selectively degraded Indigo carmine first, and after its complete degradation, rhodamine B degradation initiated. (52)
4 ACF-Bi2O3 composite 25.47% removal was obtained for rhodamine B, 25.44% removal was obtained for methylene blue, and 14.47% removal was obtained for reactive black B. (53)
5 β-Bi2O3/GR composite catalyst having 7 wt % graphene content degraded 65% of methylene blue after 240 min irradiation (54)
6 α-Bi2O3 and β-Bi2O3 Nanowires more than 90% orange-G was degraded by β-Bi2O3 nanowires (NWs) after 15 h irradiation, and the photocatalytic activity of β-Bi2O3 NWs was ∼1.3 times higher than that of α-Bi2O3 NWs. (36)
7 Bi@Bi2O3 microspheres ∼96.6% rhodamine B and 100% Methyl orange were photodegraded after 4 h. (55)
8 La/Er-doped Bi2O3 3% La-doped Bi2O3 degraded 88% acid yellow 29, 96% brilliant blue G250 and 90% acid green 25 in 120 min irradiation, whereas 0.9% Er-doped Bi2O3 degraded 83% acid yellow 29, 86% brilliant blue G250, and 84.6% acid green 25 in 120 min of irradiation. (22)
9 α-Bi2O3 nanorods rhodamine B dye was degraded 97% in 45 min and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol degraded 88% in 180 min. (56)
10 δ-Bi2O3 NPs 98.26% photocatalytic degradation of TB in 40 min and 69.67% photocatalytic degradation of CR in 80 min. this work
