Synthesis of Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalyst Ag3PO4 by a Precipitation-Replacement Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A visible-light-driven photocatalyst Ag3PO4 was prepared by a novel precipitation- replacement process. The synthesized sample was cubic crystals with the bandgap of 2.16 eV. And most of the particles size was among 0.5~2 mm. The Ag3PO4 shows high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) solution under the visible light (l>420 nm). The apparent ratio constant (kapp) value of Ag3PO4 was about 239 and 50 times that of P25 and C-TiO2, respectively.
