Abstract
Nanopowders of Y(1-x)Bi(x)FeO3 ( x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) solid solutions were obtained by coprecipitation of hydroxides with simultaneous sonication and subsequent thermal treatment of the precipitate in air at 800 ◦C for 1 min. in the annealing-quenching mode. The results of X-ray phase analysis showed the formation of nanocrystalline solid solutions with a structure of hexagonal yttrium orthoferrite. The average crystallite size increases from 4 to 10 nm with the increasing bismuth content in the solid solution. The influence - of Y3+ substitution for Bi3+ in yttrium orthoferrite on the photocatalytic activity of Y1 x Bi x FeO3 nanopowders during the Fenton-like degradation of methyl violet under the visible light irradiation has been studied. The maximum reaction rate constant of 0.0197 min - 1 was shown by the YFeO3 nanopowder, which has the smallest crystallite size of ∼4 nm.
