Facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles-modified PVA/H4SiW12O40 nanofibers-based electrospinning to enhance photocatalytic activity

► Silver nanoparticles are deposited on the surface of PVA/SiW12 nanofibers by using electrospinning and photoreduction methods. ► The as-electrospun PVA/SiW12 nanofibers are regarded as particular precursor. ► Higher photocatalytic activity of tri-component nanohybrids was measured.
