Nanoemulsification synthesis route for obtaining highly efficient Ag3PO4 photocatalytic nanomaterial

Nanoemulsion technique based on Ouzo effect was applied for the fast and simple synthesis of Ag3PO4 at room temperature. X-ray powder diffraction analysis Raman spectroscopy reviled that synthesized single-phase. Using scanning electron microscopy analysis, it found particles were near-spherical shape with an average diameter 100 nm. The high value specific surface area obtained measured by Brunauer?Emmet?Teller method. Finally, product used as a photocatalyst photodegradation crystal violet dye in aqueous solution. strategy procedure provides pathway to obtain highly efficient single-phase photocatalyst.
