One pot controllable synthesis of AgCl nanocrystals with different morphology and their photocatalytic activity

AgCl particle size could be tuned by changing reaction time. Cubic, spherical and octahedral AgCl can be controllable prepared by changing CTAC addition. The oriented adsorption of PVP make the formation of plate seeds with stacking faults and interact with the (111) facets, and the plate AgCl formed.249
