Abstract

Herein, we demonstrate a complex-precipitation strategy for high-yield fabrication of single-crystalline Ag₃PO₄ sub-microcubes with sharp corners, edges, and smooth surfaces, which exhibit much higher photocatalytic activities and photoelectric conversion properties than spherical Ag₃PO₄ particles and commercial N-doped TiO₂ under visible light irradiation.
