Zhang, Yunfan Selvaraj, Rengaraj Kim, Younghun Sillanpää, Mika Tai, Cheuk-Wai Photo-corrosion inhibition of Ag<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> by polyaniline coating <p>In this paper, polyaniline-coated silver phosphate has been successfully prepared via a facile chemisorption method in order to improve the stability of Ag<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> under light irradiation. The crystalline phase, band gap energy, and microstructure of the obtained PANI/Ag<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–vis diffuse reflection spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of methlylene blue was performed to test the activities of PANI/Ag<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> composites with different coating amounts and the results indicate that the stabilities of PANI/Ag<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> composites were successfully enhanced. The correlation between photocatalytic performance and the properties of PANI/Ag<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> composites is discussed in detail.</p> Polyaniline;Ag3PO4;Photocatalyst;Photo-corrosion inhibition;Structural characterization 2015-06-24
