Synthesis, characterization and properties of sulfate-modified silver carbonate with enhanced visible light photocatalytic performance.

ABSTRACT: Sulfate-modified Ag₂CO₃ was successfully synthesized via a simple precipitation method. Its visible light photocatalytic performance against the removal of Orange G was found to be significantly enhanced in comparison with the one of pure Ag₂CO₃. While SO₄^2--Ag₂CO₃ ensured a removal efficiency of 100% of OG within 30 min, the unmodified Ag₂CO₃ exhibited a degradation threshold at hardly 60%. Likewise, the degradation rate constant in the presence of SO₄^2--Ag₂CO₃ photocatalyst was assessed to be twice that determined upon the involvement of pristine Ag₂CO₃. Furthermore, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) measurements e
