Preparation and characterization of silver orthophosphate photocatalytic coating on glass substrate

Abstract The photocatalytic activity of silver orthophosphate Ag3PO4 has been studied and shown to have a high photo-oxidation capability. However, there is few reported example of a simple method to prepare Ag3PO4 coatings on various substrates. In this study a novel and simple method to immobilize...
