Enhanced photocatalytic mechanism of Ag3PO4 nano-sheets using MS2 (M = Mo, W)/rGO hybrids as co-catalysts for 4-nitrophenol degradation in water

Thermo-responsive functionalized PNIPAM@Ag/Ag3PO4/CN-heterostructure photocatalyst with switchable photocatalytic activity

“…The typical peaks at 810, 1100-1750, and 3100-3400 cm −1 are attributed to the characteristic respiratory peak of the tri-s-triazine units, telescopic vibration of the C-N heterocycles, and N-H groups, respectively [50]. For the Ag3PO4 sample, the two peaks at 1045 and 843 cm −1 correspond to the P-O stretching oscillation in PO4 3− [48,51]. The position at around 3150 cm −1 , marked with a dotted line, is the N-H symmetric stretching peak of CN [52].…”

Nanomaterials for sustainable remediation of chemical contaminants in water and soil

“…Bismuth doping into zinc aluminate decreased the band gap energy significantly, which in turn increased the photocatalytic degradation of MB. A hybrid-nano Ag3PO4 composite was synthesized by a two-step solvothermal process using reduced graphene oxide (rGO), Ag3PO4 NPs and molybdenum dichalcogenides (MoS2, 99%); the synthesized hybrid-nano Ag3PO4 composite was suitable for the degradation of 4-nitrophenol, with a greater photocatalytic activity and stability than pure Ag3PO4 NPs (Zhang et al, 2018a).…”

Fabrication of a novel BiOI/KTaO3 p–n heterostructure with enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible-light irradiation

“…10 Thus, more and more visible-light-driven photocatalysts have been designed and synthesized to maximize the sunlight utilization efficiency, such as a-Fe 2 O 3 , 11 Bi 2 MoO 6 , 12 Ag 3 PO 4 (ref. 13) and SnS 2 . 14,15 Among the newly developed photocatalysts, Bi-based oxides such as BiOBr, BiOI and BiOCl have been extensively investigated due to their high stability, low price and outstanding photocatalytic activity.…”
