Nowadays, photocatalysis has gained tremendous interest owing to the fact that it can overcome water crisis as well as the environmental issues by utilizing a major source of solar energy. The nanohybrid structures of Gd3+- and Sn4+-doped bismuth ferrite (Bi1-x Gd x Fe1-y Sn y ; BGFSO) with two-dimensional (2D) MXene sheets are synthesized by the coprecipitation method. The 2D sheets have a large surface area, incorporation of which into Bi1-x Gd x Fe1-y Sn y (BGFSO) nanoparticles provides a path for electrons to flow, which results in large recombination time and thus enhances dye degradation. The Bi0.90Gd0.10Fe0.80Sn0.20O3/MXene (BGFO-20Sn/MXene) nanohybrid shows 100% degradation of Congo dye from the catalytic solution in 120 min, which is highly efficient for industrial application.
