Abstract

The present communication demonstrates a facile strategy toward rapid in situ synthesis of Ag₃PO₄ nanoparticles onto the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/Ag₃PO₄) by adding Na₂HPO₄ into the mixture of MWCNTs and AgNO₃ ethylene glycol solution under stirring. We further demonstrate the use of such composites as novel photocatalysts toward photodecomposition of rhodamine B under visible light. It suggests that varied loading of MWCNTs in the composites has significant influence on the photocatalytic activity and the MWCNTs_2.5 %/Ag₃PO₄ exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance.
