![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Highly photocatalytic activity of novel nano-sized Ag3PO4 for Rhodamine B degradation under visible light irradiation Highly photocatalytic activity of novel nano-sized Ag3PO4 for Rhodamine B degradation under visible light irradiation](/preview/png/1645753.png)
Ag3PO4 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by precipitation of AgNO3 and H3PO4 in the presence of oleylamine. The products were characterized by XRD, UV–vis and FE-SEM. It showed that the particle sizes of products ranged from 5 to 10 nm depending on the synthesis conditions. UV–vis result revealed a strong light absorbance in the visible light region at 470–475 nm. Photocatalytic activities of TiO2 and Ag3PO4 nanoparticles were tested in photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. In comparison to nano-TiO2, nano-sized Ag3PO4 samples exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity in the RhB degradation. After 3 h of reaction, the conversion reached the value of 96%.
► This is one of the new photocatalysts.
► This material is nano-sized Ag3PO4.
► To test photocatalytic activity we used Rhodamine B for irradiation (type of toxic organic compounds).
► The light we use for the test is visible light (suitable and easy for application).
► In nano-sizes this material has much useful properties for application.
