In this work, we show the synthesis and application of next generation semiconductor photocatalysts, i.e. GdxBi1-xFeO3 (x = 0, 0.05. 0.10, 0.15) hollow spheres which function as both, an advanced adsorption material and photocatalytic active semiconductor. The presented spheres were prepared by two distinct novel synthetic protocols, i.e. via a citric acid/urea/ethylene glycol assisted hydrothermal method and via an evaporation induced self-assembly strategy. In both cases, we study the mechanism of formation of phase pure GdxBi1-xFeO3 hollow spheres with a narrow size distribution by varying synthetic conditions such concentration, temperature and treatment time. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. All synthesized materials were applied in the photocatalytic degradation of dyes under visible light irradiation. The photocatalysts show superior efficiencies which outperformed previously reported BiFeO3 materials.
