Ion exchange synthesis of PAN/Ag3PO4 core–shell nanofibers with enhanced photocatalytic properties

PAN/Ag3PO4 core–shell hetero-nanofibers have been fabricated for the first time by combining electrospinning technology with ion exchange reaction, which exhibit much higher visible light driven photocatalytic activities for the degradation of organic contaminants than pure Ag3PO4 nanoparticles.
