Abstract:

The morphology and crystal surface control of semiconductor photocatalysts are research focus in the photocatalysis area.Ag3PO4 as a new visible light photocatalyst is possessed of high photoquantum efficiency and strong photooxidation ability.The current status,research progress and existing problems in the microstructure construction and crystal surface effect of Ag3PO4 photocatalysts were reviewed.In terms of microstructure construction,Ag3PO4 materials with nano-size,hollow structure,porous structure,two-dimensional dendritic structure,one-dimensional hollow porous structure and other microstructure were synthesized,which greatly improved the photocatalytic activity.It was necessary to further optimize the relationship between microstructure and particle size,as well as develop new microstructure to obtain better photocatalytic materials.In terms of crystal surface regulation,Ag3PO4 materials exposed to different exponential crystal surfaces were synthesized,which required optimization design in terms of theoretical research,synthesis method,and synergistic effect of different crystal surfaces to obtain higher performance.The structure-activity relationship between microscopic morphology and photocatalytic performance was explored,which provided certain theoretical basis and research ideas for the design and construction of efficient and stable Ag3PO4 photocatalysts.

Key words: photocatalysis, Ag3PO4, microstructure, crystal surface effect
