Ag₃PO₄/AgCl hybrids have been synthesized via a facile ion-exchange method. The hybrids exhibit an enhanced photocatalytic activity for degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) than the single Ag₃PO₄ or AgCl under a visible light irradiation. Such a behavior might be attributed to the increased number of high active sites and suitable energy band structure. The possible mechanism is also discussed.
