Novel composite photocatalysts, Ag@(Ag2S/Ag3PO4), have been synthesized by controlled calcination and exhibited much higher activity than that of Ag3PO4, Ag2S/Ag3PO4, Ag/Ag3PO4 and AgX/Ag3PO4 (X = Cl, Br and I) in degradation of rhodamine B. The excellent activity is ascribed to the synergistic effect between Ag and Ag2S.
