In this work, bifunctional TiO2/Ag3PO4/graphene (GR) composites have been prepared via the combination of ion-exchange method and hydrothermal approach, and the fabrication of pizza-like three-phase TiO2/Ag3PO4/GR composites has been achieved through the electrostatic-driven assembly of positively-charged Ag+ on negatively-charged graphene oxide (GO) sheets, followed by the nucleation & controlled growth of Ag3PO4 and the deposition of Degussa P25 on the GO surface. Consequently, the hydrothermal treatment leads to the generation of TiO2/Ag3PO4/GR composites with well-defined structures. The as-prepared composites exhibited highly efficient visible light photocatalytic activity toward organic dye molecule degradation and showed excellent bactericidal performance. This is the first report on the production of bifunctional three-phase metal oxide-Ag3PO4-GR composite materials with improved photocatalytic and antibacterial properties. The improved photocatalytic activity is attributed to the effective separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs and fast charge transfer between components in the composite, while its excellent bactericidal performance is believed to come from intrinsic bacterial inactivation of Ag3PO4 and photo-induced antibacterial activity of active oxygen-containing radicals generated in the irradiated system. The proper molar ratio of Ag3PO4/TiO2 and the added amount of GO in the precursor have been considered to play crucial roles in the formation of bifunctional composites with promising properties. The TiO2/Ag3PO4/GR composite significantly decreases the percentage of expensive Ag-containing material while it reveals better photocatalytic and antibacterial performance than Ag3PO4, providing new insights into the low-cost, large-scale production of Ag3PO4-based function materials for practical applications.
