Silver Orthophosphate (Ag₃PO₄) is a promising visible light driven photocatalyst. The morphology and structure of Ag₃PO₄ can be controlled by variety of synthetic methods for which it becomes the most extensively studied novel photocatalyst. Moreover, tailoring of Ag₃PO₄-based photocatalyst for performance enhancement attracts immense attention in recent times. The endeavour of this review paper to focus on the research progress of this material and the success gained so far by fabrication of Ag₃PO₄-based nanocomposite materials in photodegradation of selected toxic organic dyes. Some representative examples are discussed thoroughly. The underlying challenges and future perspectives are also brought into spotlight.
