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 Gd 3+ - and Sn 4+ -doped bismuth ferrite (Bi 1- x Gd x Fe 1- 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 Bi 1- x Gd x Fe 1- y Sn y (BGFSO) nanoparticles provides a path for electrons to flow, which results in large recombination time and thus enhances dye degradation. The Bi 0.90 Gd 0.10 Fe 0.80 Sn 0.20 O 3 /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.
