Hierarchical porous AgCl@Ag hollow architectures: Self-templating synthesis and highly enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity

- Novel hierarchical porous AgCl@Ag HAs are firstly prepared by a self-templating method.
- Hierarchical porous AgCl@Ag HAs show enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity.
- Enhancement in performance is due to hierarchical hollow morphology and unique porous structure.
