Resumo

Despite the fact that Brazil is the world’s largest niobium mineral producer, governmental interest in exploration of the mineral leading to more valuable derived materials is scarce, which has reduced the country’s knowledge about a wider range of technological applications for this metal. Niobium pentoxide stands out due its remarkable electronic, structural, and textural properties. Therefore, this review aims to highlight its main properties, synthetic methods, and applications, with a particular focus on photocatalysts based on Nb2O5. This review will highlight the potential of Nb2O5 and encourage the study of niobium and its compounds in technological and environmental applications. (AU)
