Bi-doped BaBiO ( = 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) perovskite oxides by a sol-gel method: comprehensive biological assessment and RhB photodegradation.

The BaBiO (BBO) perovskite oxide was prepared a sol-gel method with different concentrations of Bi nitrate and examined as a photocatalyst for RhB degradation under sunlight, and its antioxidant and antibacterial activities were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated the formation of a BaBiO-BaCO (BBO-BCO) binary composite. For the degradation of RhB under solar radiation, high photocatalytic activity (73%) was observed.
