Abstract

A novel AgIO₄ semiconductor has been prepared via a facile precipitation method. It exhibited much higher activity than Ag₃PO₄ or Ag₃AsO₄ in photodegradation of rhodamine B under visible-light irradiation. The ultrahigh activity of AgIO₄ is attributed to the photosensitization mechanism of the photodegradation process.
