Heterostructures of electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs) garnished with Ag3PO4 nanoparticles (Ag3PO4/CNFs) were prepared by the combination of simple cost-effective electrospinning technique chased by successive carbonization and decoration of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles by widely used colloidal and precipitation technique. Instead, the heterostructure as-obtained by the precipitation synthesis (Ag3PO4/CNFs2), consists of CNFs with larger size and agglomerated Ag3PO4 nanoparticles. The visible-light-induced photocatalytic investigation exhibited that the Ag3PO4/CNFs1 heterostructure, consist of small size of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles, can delivers optimal performance towards the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye solution as-compared to the Ag3PO4/CNFs2 heterostructure.
