摘要
The multiferroic bismuth ferrite(BiFeO_(3),denoted as BFO)semiconductors have attracted prominent recognition due to their unique physical properties and prospective industrial applications.Significant features like strong photo absorption and morphological structure play a major role in rare earth-based BFO materials.The article encapsulates the latest developments on rare-earth-based nano BFO as new class photo catalytic materials for electro-optic applications.Detailed discussion on degradation efficiencies of industrial organic dyes in ultra-violet,visible light,and near infra-red photocatalysis was carried out.The various techniques acquired to fabricate rare-earth-based BFO and the modification approaches in A-and B-site that take part in the morphology,and photo activity improvement were also detailed.This review also summarizes the existing state of research work and explains some practical ideologies of BiFeO_(3) for their future developments.Finally,this article discusses the summary and future aspects of the present challenges faced by the BFO based materials for feasible improvements.
