Ultrasonic-assisted synthesis of plasmonic Z-scheme Ag/AgCl/WO3-nanoflakes photocatalyst in geothermal water with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance

Ag/AgCl/WO3 photocatalysts were prepared in geothermal water, and they exhibited enhanced activity and excellent reusability on degradation of 4-ABA under visible-light irradiation. The improvement of photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the plasmonic Z-scheme mechanism.254
