Abstract	Ag2O microcrystals with different morphologies have been successfully synthesized by using various complexing agents. To achieve kinetic control of the growth of the Ag2O microcrystals, [Ag(NH3)2]+ complexing ions are required to restrict the release rate of silver ions before adding NaOH solution. The complexing anions play an important role in the growth process of the Ag2O microcrystals. This kinetic control leads to five morphologies of Ag2O microcrystals (cubic, octahedral, rhombic dodecahedra, polyhedra with 18 faces and rhombicuboctahedral), which exhibit facet-dependent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. The cubic Ag@Ag2O photocatalyst with exposed {100} facets showed the greatest activity of all the other morphologies of the photocatalysts. The mechanism of dramatic enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of Ag@Ag2O with exposed {100} facets was discussed in detail from three aspects, including the highest surface energy of the {100} facet, the larger difference value between the weighted average of the effective mass of holes and electrons along the [100] direction, and the suitable redox potentials of the (100) surface.
