Abstract

Saddle-like Ag₃PO₄ particles of tetrahedron structure were successfully synthesized using a co-precipitation method by mixing H₃PO₄ ethanol solution and AgNO₃ ethanol aqueous solution, where the percentage of ethanol in AgNO₃ ethanol aqueous solution was varied at 0, 50, 80, 90 and 100% (v/v). The photocatalytic performance of the synthesized samples was evaluated by photodegradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under blue light irradiation (λ = 455 nm). The results showed that the morphology of the Ag₃PO₄ particles greatly changed depending on the ethanol content in the reaction solution. Excellent photocatalytic activity was observed at 80% (v/v) of ethanol, where the Ag₃PO₄ showed saddle-like morphology derived from the tetrahedron structure.
