Ag3PO4 was synthesized with the assistance of N, N-dimethylformamid (DMF) and urea for high performance photocatalysis. The photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized samples was evaluated by photodegrading rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation. As a result, the optimal Ag3PO4 synthesized with the assistance of DMF and urea exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for Rh B degradation under visible light irradiation. DMF and urea play vital roles in improving the photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4. This study could provide a new perspective for the controllable synthesis of Ag3PO4.
