Photocatalytic activity of Ag-Ag3PO4/Cellulose aerogel composite for degradation of dye pollutants under visible light irradiation

In this research, Ag-Ag3PO4/Cellulose aerogel composite was synthesized using hydrothermal reduction and freeze-drying methods. By combining the photocatalytic activity of the semiconductor AgAg3PO4 and cellulose aerogel synthesized from agricultural waste sources, the synthesized Ag-Ag3PO4/Cellulose aerogel composite has overcome the disadvantages of pure Ag3PO4 and significantly improved the photocatalytic activity.
