Facile synthesis of novel α-Ag3VO4 nanostructures with enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Novel α-Ag3VO4 nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via a facile and repeatable precipitation method by using n-BA as precipitant and complexing agent. Photocatalytic property tests for decomposition of RhB demonstrate that the as-prepared nanostructures have enhanced photocatalytic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
