Nanocomposite of attapulgite–Ag3PO4 for Orange II photodegradation

Photocatalytic activity of attapulgite–TiO2–Ag3PO4 ternary nanocomposite for degradation of Rhodamine B under simulated solar irradiation

“…5. After every run, the activity of Ag 3 PO 4 significantly decreased as expected [20]. In the photocatalytic process, the active sites were covered by Ag appearing on the surface of Ag 3 PO 4 particles.…”

Synthesis of acidified palygorskite/BiOI with exceptional performances of adsorption and visible-light photoactivity for efficient treatment of aniline wastewater

“…When 0.5 b r ≤ 1.0, the obtained results are just opposite. It mainly originates from the recombination of electron-hole pairs in acidified Pal due to weak visible-light response of acidified Pal (Ma et al, 2014). Thus, a suitable doping amount of acidified Pal can effectively inhibit the recombination of electron-hole pairs.…”

Visible light driven Ag/Ag3PO4/AC photocatalyst with highly enhanced photodegradation of tetracycline antibiotics

“…Recently, there are many reports about various supports loaded Ag 3 PO 4 which can be improved the performance of Ag 3 PO 4 , such as bentonite [26], attapulgite [27], hydroxyapatite [28], carbon tube [29], g-C 3 N 4 [30][31][32], graphene based materials [33][34][35][36][37][38], and so on. Among these supports, carbon materials, due to the large specific surface area, excellent mobility of charge carriers, and high chemical and thermal stability, are promising and practical material as the support of photocatalysts.…”
