Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate a complex-precipitation strategy for high-yield fabrication of single-crystalline Ag3PO4 sub-microcubes with sharp corners, edges, and smooth surfaces, which exhibit much higher photocatalytic activities and photoelectric conversion properties than spherical Ag3PO4 particles and commercial N-doped TiO2 under visible light irradiation.Keywords
