Chao Wei, Zhongjin Peng, Yunfei Chen, Yanhai Cheng
FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 973-984, 2022, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.019772
（This article belongs to this Special Issue: Advanced Materials, Processing and Testing Technology)
Abstract Ag₃PO₄ exhibits a high photocatalytic activity if exposed to visible light, however, it displays bottlenecks such as poor cycle-stability and mediocre ability to degrade methyl orange (MO) because of limited adsorption of MO molecules onto its surface. In this study, nano TiO₂ prepared by a one-step method was combined with Ag₃PO₄ to form a TiO₂@Ag₃PO₄ heterojunction in order to improve this material both in terms of photocatalysis and photostability. After adding a KH-570 silane coupling agent, the photocatalytic performance of TiO₂@Ag₃PO₄ could be improved even further, with the degradation rate of MO maintained at more than 90% after three cycles… More >
