Ag3PO4-based nanocomposites and their applications in photodegradation of toxic organic dye contaminated wastewater : review on material design to performance enhancement

الملخص EN

Silver Orthophosphate (Ag3PO4) is a promising visible light driven photocatalyst.

The morphology and structure of Ag3PO4 can be controlled by variety of synthetic methods for which it becomes the most extensively studied novel photocatalyst.

Moreover, tailoring of Ag3PO4-based photocatalyst for performance enhancement attracts immense attention in recent times.

The endeavour of this review paper to focus on the research progress of this material and the success gained so far by fabrication of Ag3PO4-based nanocomposite materials in photodegradation of selected toxic organic dyes.

Some representative examples are discussed thoroughly.

The underlying challenges and future perspectives are also brought into spotlight.
