Abstract
An oleate-assisted approach was used to synthesize nanosized spherical silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) in different solvents. The silver phosphate nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), thermogravimetric analysis (TDA), and surface area measurement by nitrogen adsorption and decomposition evolution of NO x gas. The as-prepared nanoparticles showed narrow size distribution. The black colored nanoparticles could absorb most of visible light with a wavelength up to 530 nm. The DeNO x experiments revealed that the nanosized Ag3PO4 possessed a photocatalytic ability being superior to commercial P25 sample both in ultraviolet light and visible light regions.
