Abstract
Silver orthophosphate nanocrystals with controlled particle size have been synthesized using a simple, reproducible and easily scaled up route based on the reaction between silver ions, oleylamine and phosphoric acid. The obtained nanocrystals are highly uniform in size and exhibit high visible light activity for the photodecomposition of organic compounds.Keywords
