A new investigation of the structure of silver orthophosphate

Morphology‐Dependent Activities of Silver Phosphates: Visible‐Light Water Oxidation and Dye Degradation

“…Interestingly, the crystal structure of Ag 3 PO 4 consists of regular isolated phosphate tetrahedra (PO 4 ) that form a bcc lattice. Each Ag + ion resides at one of two possible sites on either side of the ideal site, and the site symmetry is lowered from fourfold to twofold . The Ag + ion is connected to four oxygen atoms that belong to four adjacent phosphate groups that form an irregular tetrahedron, and each oxygen is linked to three Ag + ions (Figure , inset).…”

Highly photocatalytic activity of novel nano-sized Ag3PO4 for Rhodamine B degradation under visible light irradiation

“…1 presents X-ray diffraction patterns of Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles synthesized in the absence (A) and presence of water (B). The XRD pattern of the nanosized Ag 3 PO 4 products exhibits well-defined peaks indicative of highly crystalline Ag 3 PO 4 with body-centered cubic structure as observed on micro-sized Ag 3 PO 4 [15,16].…”

Facile synthesis of visible-light-driven Ag3PO4 nanocrystals base on IP6 micelles

“…This result clearly confirms there are no IP 6 molecular adsorbed on the Ag 3 PO 4 NCs surface, indicating that IP 6 can be easily removed by washing with water. Ag 3 PO 4 is a body-centered cubic structure type with a lattice parameter of 6.004 Å [22]. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms prepared NCs are this crystal structure (Fig.…”
