Visible light driven non-sacrificial water oxidation and dye degradation with silver phosphates: multi-faceted morphology matters†
Abstract
The convenient synthesis of multi-faceted versus irregular shaped Ag3PO4 microparticles for the visible light driven non-sacrificial water oxidation is reported. Strikingly, the multi-faceted particles are found to be more effective for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by photocatalytic water oxidation in water and in phosphate buffer solutions as well as for dye degradation in comparison to the irregular shaped particles.
