In this work, the photocatalytic performance of Ag3PO4, Nb2O5 and Ag3PO4/Nb2O5 hybrid photocatalysts to degrade methyl orange dye, MO, in an aqueous solution under visible light irradiation was evaluated. The Ag3PO4 photocatalysts, with various Ag Nb molar ratios, were prepared using a facile precipitation method. characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Visible, Photoelectron, Photoluminescence ...

A new visible-light-driven heterojunction Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 was prepared by a simple deposition-precipitation method for the degradation analysis of diclofenac (DCF), a model drug component, under visible-light irradiation. The heterojunction photocatalysts were characterized by a suite of tools. The results revealed that the introduction of Ag3PO4 on the surface of g-C3N4 greatly promoted its stab...

A root canal sealer with antibacterial activity can be efficacious in preventing reinfection that results from residual microorganisms and/or the leakage of microorganisms. In the present study, a series of injectable, self-curing polyurethane (PU)-based antibacterial sealers with different concentrations of silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) were fabricated. Subsequently, their physicochemical properti...

This study demonstrates the synthesis of TiO2 nanobelts using solution combustion derived TiO2 with enhanced photocatalytic activity for dye degradation and bacterial inactivation. Hydrothermal treatment of combustion synthesized TiO2 resulted in unique partially etched TiO2 nanobelts and Ag3PO4 was decorated using the co-precipitation method. The catalyst particles were characterized using X-r...

Introduction: Rapid population growth and industrialization have increased chemical pollutants. Some studies show that employee exposure to formaldehyde in industrial places, hospitals, and laboratory settings is more than the allowed limits. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a proper control system to reduce this exposure. This study aimed to synthesize Ag3PO4/TiO2 nanocomposite, determi...

In this work, a simple chemical precipitation method was employed to prepare spherical-like Ag3PO4 material (IL-Ag3PO4) with exposed {111} facet in the presence of reactive ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole dihydrogen phosphate ([Omim]H2PO4). The crystal structure, microstructure, optical properties, and visible-light photocatalytic performance as-prepared materials were studied detail. ad...

In this study, we have successfully constructed Ag3PO4/Ag/g-C3N4 heterojunctions via the hydrothermal method, which displays a wide photo-absorption range. The higher photocurrent intensity of indicates that separation efficiency photogenerated electron–hole pairs is than both Ag3PO4 and Ag/g-C3N4 pure substances. It confirmed efficient attributed to heterojunction material. Under visible light...

Using hybrid functional calculations, we investigate the effects of defects and defect complexes related with Cd, Li, and N impurities on the atomic and electronic properties of Ag3PO4. It was found that substitutional Cd on Ag lattice site (CdAg) contributes to the n-type conductivity of Ag3PO4. For substitutional Cd on P (or O) lattice site (CdP) (or CdO), it is not expected that Cd will inco...

The enhanced photocatalytic performance of doped graphene (GR)/semiconductor nanocomposites have recently been widely observed, but an understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind it is still out of reach. As a model system to study the dopant effects, we investigate the electronic structures and optical properties of doped GR/Ag3PO4 nanocomposites using the first-principles calculations, ...

Medical tools and implants used in clinics can be contaminated with bacteria even disinfection treatment. To avert this situation, titanium (Ti) plates modified a MoS2(S)–Ag3PO4 coating were designed to kill Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) Escherichia coli (E. coli) effectively under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The introduction of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles (NPs) reduced the bandgap MoS2...
