A Composite Photocatalyst Ag3po4/AlPO4-5 with High Photocatalytic Activites for Rhodamine B Degradation

Article Preview

Abstract:

A facile and reproducible method for the synthesis of Ag3PO4/AlPO4-5 photocatalyst has been developed to improve the photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4. The innovation of this method is to in situ deposit Ag3PO4 nanoparticles onto the AlPO4-5 surface forming a composite photocatalyst. The improved activity of the Ag3PO4/AlPO4-5 composite photocatalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation is attributed to the increased surface area and the enhanced absorption of RhB.
