ABSTRACT: The rational design of heterostructured photocatalysts is critical for addressing organic dye pollution through solar-driven advanced oxidation processes. Herein, a ternary Ag2O@CuFe2O4@g-C3N4 nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal-precipitation route, integrating Z-scheme charge transfer and Fenton-like reactivity for enhanced visible-light photocatalysis. The composite's activity was evaluated via methylene blue (MB) degradation under a 300 W metal-halide lamp (λ ≥ 420 nm), achieving 99.93% removal within 35 min-2.1× and 1.4× faster than pristine g-C3N4 and binary counterparts, respectively. This performance stems from synergistic effects: (i) a Z-scheme heterojunction between Ag
