Abstract

An efficient homotype Ag3PO4/BiVO4 heterojunction photocatalyst is described. Ag3PO4 nanoparticles preferentially deposit on the highly active BiVO4(040) facets by means of heterojunction construction together with morphology engineering. The Ag3PO4/BiVO4 photocatalyst shows high charge separation efficiency as well as enhanced visible-light response ability and thus possesses superior visible light photocatalytic activity.
