Ag₃PO₄ has been proven to be an efficient photocatalyst to degrade organic pollutants in aqueous phase, which makes it a promising candidate for constructing an environmental purification system. In this study, novel series of subphthalocyanine-Br sensitized Ag₃PO₄ (SubPc-Br/Ag₃PO₄) photocatalysts with broadband light responsive ability were fabricated for the first time by coating SubPc-Br microcrystals onto the surface of Ag₃PO₄ bulk polyhedron. The obtained SubPc-Br/Ag₃PO₄ composites exhibited significant enhancement of photocatalytic efficiency in degrading bromophenol blue (BB) and methyl orange (MO) under both the visible-light and ultraviolet-light. It was shown that the weight percentage of SubPc-Br had a remarkable impact on the photocatalytic activities of the substrates and the 4 wt% SubPc-Br/Ag₃PO₄ composite displayed the most superior photocatalytic efficiency. The improved photocatalytic performance of SubPc-Br/Ag₃PO₄ photocatalysts could be mainly attributed to the sensitization, which broadened the absorption region and then improved the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of Ag₃PO₄. Moreover, photo-induced electrons transfer between SubPc-Br and Ag₃PO₄ particles also decreased the possibility of Ag⁺ reduction, generating an enhanced cycling stability of SubPc-Br/Ag₃PO₄ photocatalysts.

已经证明，Ag ₃ PO ₄是降解水相中有机污染物的有效光催化剂，这使其成为构建环境净化系统的有希望的候选者。在这项研究中，通过将SubPc-Br微晶涂覆到Ag ₃ PO的表面上，首次制备了具有宽带光响应能力的新型亚酞菁-Br敏化的Ag ₃ PO ₄（SubPc-Br / Ag ₃ PO ₄）光催化剂。₄块多面体。所获得的SubPc-Br / Ag ₃ PO ₄在可见光和紫外光下，复合材料在降解溴酚蓝（BB）和甲基橙（MO）方面表现出显着的光催化效率增强。结果表明，SubPc-Br的重量百分比对底物的光催化活性有显着影响，4wt％的SubPc-Br / Ag ₃ PO ₄复合材料表现出最优异的光催化效率。SubPc-Br / Ag ₃ PO ₄光催化剂的光催化性能提高主要归因于敏化作用，它扩大了吸收区，进而改善了Ag ₃ PO ₄的光生电子-空穴对的分离。。此外，SubPc-Br和Ag ₃ PO ₄颗粒之间的光诱导电子转移也降低了Ag ⁺还原的可能性，从而提高了SubPc-Br / Ag ₃ PO ₄光催化剂的循环稳定性。
