Abstract

Tetrahedral Ag₃PO₄ submicro-crystals have been fabricated in high-yield by directly reacting commercial Ag foils with H₂O₂ and NaH₂PO₄ in aqueous solution at room temperature, which exhibit higher photocatalytic activities than Ag₃PO₄ cubes, particles, and N-doped TiO₂ for the degradation of organic contaminants under visible light irradiation.
