Dendritic hierarchical AgCl prepared in the interface of gas–solid as the precursors of the visible-light plasmonic photocatalysts of Ag–AgCl

A new photocatalyst structure, dendritic hierarchical AgCl assembled by numerous nanoscaled particles, was obtained via simple and effective one-step gas–solid interfacial method for the first time. The macromorphology of the prepared AgCl also displays a dendritic shape as the microperspective. The Ag–AgCl made from the dendritic hierarchical AgCl exhibits a stable photocatalytic performance.
