Herein, we have forwarded an effective strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles through sulfate ion (SO42-) doping and anchoring on PAN nanofibers. The SO42-- Ag3PO4/PAN photocatalyst was fabricated by electrospinning and ion-exchange method. Various physiochemical characterization techniques were employed to characterize the as-fabricated SO42-- Ag3PO4/PAN photocatalyst. Photocatalytic performances of SO42-- Ag3PO4/PAN photocatalyst was tested for the degradation of Methylene blue (MB) and Rhodamine B (RhB) dyes under visible light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of SO42--Ag3PO4/PAN photocatalyst compared to pristine Ag3PO4/PAN photocatalyst is due to the doping of SO42- ion, which is responsible to widen the photogenerated electron–hole separation capability and PAN nanofibers served as support for nanoparticles to restrict from agglomeration.
