Synthesis of AgPO/AgPO by microwave-hydrothermal method for enhanced UV-visible photocatalytic performance.

AgPO/AgPO photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by microwave-hydrothermal method. Tuning the properties of photocatalysts was achieved using different amount of acetic acid (CHCOOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to adjust pH value of precursor solution (pH = 4, 7, 10 and 12). The crystal structure, morphology and optical property of samples were characterized and explained.
