Abstract:
Thinking outside the box: The position- and number-selective growth of Ag nanocrystals on Ag(3)PO(4) submicro-cubes by an in situ reduction technique is demonstrated (see figure). These new Ag/Ag(3)PO(4) heterocubes exhibit higher photocatalytic activities than pure Ag(3)PO(4) cubes for the degradation of organic dyes under visible-light irradiation.
