Fabrication of a Novel CNT-COO/AgPO@AgIOComposite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity under Natural Sunlight.

In this study, a carboxylated carbon nanotube-grafted AgPO@AgIO (CNT-COO/AgPO@AgIO) composite was synthesized through an in situ electrostatic deposition method. The synthesized composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electron transfer ability of the synthesized composite was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
