Enhanced photodegradation of synthetic dyes mediated by Ag3PO4-based semiconductors under visible light irradiation

Four silver phosphate-based materials were successfully synthesized, characterized, and evaluated, together with TiO, in the photodegradation of synthetic dyes (tartrazine, Orange II, rhodamine, and Brilliant Blue FCF) under two irradiation sources centered at 420 and 450 nm. Scanning Electron Micro...
