Abstract

In this study the preparation and the evaluation of Ag3PO4/CeO2 composites as visible-light-driven photocatalyst were reported. The composites, with different Ag3PO4:CeO2 molar ratio, were prepared via chemical precipitation and their photocatalytic performance were investigated by photodegradation of methyl orange solution (MO) under low intensity (23 W) visible light irradiation. Characterization analyses showed that the Ag3PO4 particles were irregular spherical-shaped and were well-distributed on the surface of CeO2. The photocatalytic activity of the composite was higher than that of Ag3PO4 and CeO2. The composite with 1:2.5 molar ratio exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity with degradation rate of 0.338 min−1 and 92% degradation efficiency. Besides, the composite can be used up to eight cycles without any regeneration process. Through radical scavenger experiments, the photogenerated holes (h+) and the \( \cdot {\text{O}}_{2}^{ - }\) radical were the active species for degradation of MO.
