WO₃/Ag₂CO₃ Mixed Photocatalyst with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity for Organic Dye Degradation.

ABSTRACT: The development of an efficient photocatalyst with superior activity under visible light has been regarded as a significant strategy for pollutant degradation and environmental remediation. Herein, a series of WO₃/Ag₂CO₃ mixed photocatalysts with different proportions were prepared by a simple mixing method and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and DRS techniques. The photocatalytic performance of the WO₃/Ag₂CO₃ mixed photocatalyst was investigated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). The photocatalytic efficiency of the mixed WO₃/Ag₂CO₃ photocatalyst was rapidly increased with the proportion of Ag₂CO₃ up to 5%. The deg
