Ag/α-Ag2MoO4/h-MoO3 nanoparticle based microspheres: synthesis and photosensitive properties

Abstract

We report a new and the most simple strategy for the synthesis of silver molybdate functional composite microspheres based on low molecular weight gelators –amino acids, silver salts and heptamolybdate ions. The resulting material shows a high photocatalytic activity with respect to the methylene blue dye degradation at neutral pH.
