- Abstract
The present communication demonstrates a facile strategy toward rapid in situ synthesis of AgPO nanoparticles onto the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs/AgPO) by adding NaHPO into the mixture of MWCNTs and AgNO ethylene glycol solution under stirring. We further demonstrate the use of such composites as novel photocatalysts toward photodecomposition of rhodamine B under visible light. It suggests that varied loading of MWCNTs in the composites has significant influence on the photocatalytic activity and the MWCNTs/AgPO exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance.
