Fabrication of a Novel CNT-COO^-/Ag₃PO₄@AgIO₄Composite with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity under Natural Sunlight.

ABSTRACT: In this study, a carboxylated carbon nanotube-grafted Ag₃PO₄@AgIO₄ (CNT-COO^-/Ag₃PO₄@AgIO₄) composite was synthesized through an in situ electrostatic deposition method. The synthesized composite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The electron transfer ability of the synthesized composite was studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The CNT-COO^-/Ag₃PO₄@AgIO₄ composite exhibited higher activity than CNT/Ag₃PO₄@AgIO₄, Ag₃PO_4</
