A simple way for Ag3PO4 tetrahedron and tetrapod microcrystals with high visible-light-responsive activity

Ag3PO4 microcrystals with different morphologies, including tetrahedrons with round edges and corners, short tetrapods, polyhedrons, and dendritic long tetrapods, have been fabricated via simple and green routes. All the as-prepared Ag3PO4 products exhibited high photocatalytic activities. The tetrahedral Ag3PO4 photocatalyst showed the highest photocatalytic activity and higher stability even if the ambient temperature was as low as 13 °C.227
