ABSTRACT
Antibiotics are chemical substances specifically designed to be highly efficient, even at low doses,
in treating bacterial illnesses. Regrettably, the body releases all antibiotics administered intravenously.
They have a long life and are not biodegradable in the environment. In recent years, the use of Bi2O3 thin
films for photodegradation has increased, particularly antibiotic degradation. As a result, it is important
to look back at how research on the antibiotic degradation method has grown and changed over time.
This study provides a bibliometric analysis of Bi2O3 thin film for antibiotic degradation based on the
Scopus database from 2013 to 2023. The data from 1033 publications was selected for bibliometric
analysis with respect to publication trends, subject categories, journals, institutions, funding
organizations, authors, and countries. The most productive countries are China (29.72%), followed by
the United States, India, South Korea, and Germany. The research topic concerning the Bi2O3 thin film
for antibiotic degradation has garnered significant attention over the past decade, as evidenced by the
increasing number of publications on the topic.
