A facile and rapid microwave irradiation method was explored for the synthesis of bismuth phosphate (BiPO(4)) nanostructures with various morphologies and phases in different solvents. The BiPO(4) products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy
