| Abstract: | Fullerene‐C60‐modified Ag3PO4 photocatalysts (C60/Ag3PO4) were prepared via facile chemical precipitation. The structures, morphology and photocatalytic properties of C60/Ag3PO4 were characterized by X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectrometry, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectrometry. C60/Ag3PO4 exhibits considerably higher photocatalytic activity for degradation of Methyl Orange. The degradation conversion reached 93% after 8 min of light irradiation. Besides, the enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the active species ?OH, which can be ascribed to strong synergistic effect between Fullerene C60 and Ag3PO4. |
