Ag/AgCl-GO　composite　was　fabricated　by　deposition–precipitation　method　and　photoplasmic　reduction　method　at　room　temperature.　The　resulting　products　were　characterized　by　XRD,　XPS,　SEM,　TEM,　Zeta　potential　and　UV–Vis　DRS.　The　results　indicated　that　the　samples　were　composed　of　Ag,　AgCl　and　graphene　oxide　(GO).　During　the　photoreduction,　the　crystallinity　of　Ag0　particles　gradually　increased　with　prolonging　the　time　of　UV　irradiation,　then　remained　stable　after　90　min.　The　addition　of　GO　had　little　effect　on　the　crystal　structure　of　Ag/AgCl,　however,　this　reduced　the　particle　size　and　enhances　the　dispersibility　of　the　composite.　After　100　min　of　visible　light　irradiation,　the　degradation　efficiency　of　rhodamine　B　(RhB)　reached　98.43%.　Therefore,　the　Ag/AgCl-GO　photocatalyst　exhibited　significant　photocatalytic　activity　during　the　degradation　of　RhB　under　visible　light.　©　2019　The　Society　of　Powder　Technology　Japan
