Application
- solar cell batteries
- Solar panels based on bismuth compounds are capable of efficiently converting the light energy into electricity.
- cosmetics (powder, rouge, nail polish, eye shadows)
- Bismuth compounds are used in the cosmetics for shine
- jewelery
- Bismuth is a beautiful metal and its pure crystals are used to make luxurious jewelry
- sophisticated molded objects
- Bismuth expands when it hardens. Adding bismuth makes it easier for other metal alloys to take the mold shape.
