A novel photocatalyst, AgCl loaded mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg-C3N4) in which silver chloride nanoparticles were introduced into the mesopores carbon nitride, was prepared by a dip-coating procedure. The as-prepared photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometry. The novel photocatalyst manifested a better photocatalytic activity than that of pure mpg-C3N4 for degradation of methyl orange.
