Application
Bismuth(III) iodide or Bismuth triiodide are nontoxic and hence they are used as environmentally friendly catalysts. It can be used as a catalyst in the:
- Chemoselective deprotection of acetals and ketals in water.[1]
- Synthesis of polysubstituted guanidines by guanylation reaction of thioureas with amines.[2]
- Sulfenylation of carbonyl compounds.[3]

BiOI-MWCNT composites, with high absorption and visible-light photocatalytic performance, were synthesized by a solvothermal process, in which ethylene glycol (EG) participated in the reaction. Synthesized BiOI-MWCNT composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), scanning electronic microscopy
