Concave trisoctahedral Ag3PO4 microcrystals with high-index facets and enhanced photocatalytic properties†
Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate for the first time the fabrication of concave trisoctahedral Ag3PO4 microcrystals enclosed by {221} and {332} facets based on the heteroepitaxial growth procedure, which exhibit much higher photocatalytic activities than cubic Ag3PO4 and commercial N-doped TiO2.
