Abstract: The progress in study on Bi2O3-SiO2 system was introduced in this paper. Stable and metastable phase equihbriums of the system were first summarized and reviewed, then several aspects such as structure, performance, growth and application of bismuth silicate compounds, in-cluding Bi12SiO20, Bi4Si3O12 and Bi2SiO5, were discussed. Bi2SiO5 may be one of the promising new functional crystal.

Key words: Bi2O3-SiO2 system, phase relation, Bi12SiO20, Bi4Si3O12, Bi2SiO5
