A novel Ag3AsO4 photocatalyst has been prepared via a facile precipitation method. It exhibited higher activity than Ag3PO4 or AgI in degradation of rhodamine B or methyl orange. The excellent activity of Ag3AsO4 is attributed to its more separated photogenerated carriers and high absorption capacity of visible light.

The electronic structures of highly active Ag-based oxide photocatalysts Ag3AsO4 and Ag3PO4 are studied by hybrid-density functional calculations. It is revealed that Ag3AsO4 and Ag3PO4 are indirect band gap semiconductors. The Hartree-Fock mixing parameters are fitted for experimental band gaps of Ag3AsO4 (1.
