A novel p-LaFeO3/n-Ag3PO4 heterojunction photocatalyst for phenol degradation under visible light irradiation

A novel heterojunction photocatalyst p-LaFeO3/n-Ag3PO4 has been prepared via a facile in situ precipitation method. It exhibits higher activity than individual Ag3PO4 and LaFeO3 in the degradation of phenol. The excellent activity is mainly attributed to its more effective separation of electron-hole pairs.
