Ag₃PO₄-Deposited TiO₂@Ti₃C₂ Petals for Highly Efficient Photodecomposition of Various Organic Dyes under Solar Light.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional Ti₃C₂ MXenes can be used to fabricate hierarchical TiO₂ nanostructures that are potential photocatalysts. In this study, the photodecomposition of organic dyes under solar light was investigated using flower-like TiO₂@Ti₃C₂, deposited using narrow bandgap Ag₃PO₄. The surface morphology, crystalline structure, surface states, and optical bandgap properties were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), nitrogen adsorption analysis, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS). Overall, Ag₃PO₄-deposited TiO₂@Ti₃C₂
