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.
