| Abstract | Visible light-driven photocatalysts have attracted a great deal of attention for their direct use of solar energy. In this paper, an efficient and low-cost visible light-driven composite photocatalyst, comprising of Ag–AgBr/γ-Al2O3 nanostructures, has been facilely prepared by a surfactant-controlled precipitation–deposition and subsequent light-driven route. Hollow flower-like γ-Al2O3 nanostructures was chosen as the support. CTAB controlled the size of the deposited nanoparticles in both the Br source and the surfactant. The microstructures, surface chemical composition, visible light-driven photocatalytic performance and mechanism have been investigated systematically by SEM, TEM, XPS and so forth. The Ag–AgBr nanoparticles were distributed uniformly on the surface of the hollow flower-like γ-Al2O3 nanostructures, whose specific surface area value reached 116.5 m2 g−1. The Ag–AgBr/γ-Al2O3 composite nanostructures exhibit photocatalytic advantages over pure Ag–AgBr nanoparticles, such as decomposing aromatic compounds and organic dyes within several minutes of visible light irradiation. They also have good stabilities meaning the photocatalytic activity seldom decreases even when used 5 times under visible light irradiation. Meanwhile, the amount of Ag–AgBr needed and the cost decreases significantly. Thus, the as-prepared composite photocatalyst, consisting of Ag–AgBr/γ-Al2O3 nanostructures, will be an efficient and low-cost material for the removal of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
