Abstract
Green energy and environmental awareness have grown because human activities have an impact and are harmful to the environment. Recently, renewable energy and the environment are hot issues in the world that are facing serious challenges. A new photocatalyst, Ag3PO4, has great potential to be applied in producing renewable energy and the environment. The recent design of Ag3PO4-based photocatalysts and their applications are discussed in this book chapter. Modifications of Ag3PO4 photocatalysts are carried out to increase photocatalytic activity and stability. Surface modification and composite design into binary, ternary, and quaternary have given very important results in increasing the capability of this photocatalyst. The application of Ag3PO4-based photocatalyst is very prospective for hydrogen/oxygen production, organic pollutant degradation, antibiotic degradation, antibacterial, and environmental sensors.
