Abstract EN

A facile method for the synthesis of Ag3PO4 visible light photocatalyst has been developed to improve the photocatalytic activity and stability.

The as-prepared samples are investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy techniques.

The results reveal that the prepared Ag3PO4 has cube structure with a band gap of 2.26 eV.

The as-prepared samples show higher photocatalytic activity for methylene blue (MB) degradation than that of N-TiO2 under visible light irradiation.
