Fullerene‐C 60 ‐modified Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalysts (C 60 /Ag 3 PO 4 ) were prepared via facile chemical precipitation. The structures, morphology and photocatalytic properties of C 60 /Ag 3 PO 4 were characterized by X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), photoluminescence (PL) spectrometry, and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) absorption spectrometry. C 60 /Ag 3 PO 4 exhibits considerably higher photocatalytic activity for degradation of Methyl Orange. The degradation conversion reached 93% after 8 min of light irradiation. Besides, the enhancement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the active species •OH , which can be ascribed to strong synergistic effect between Fullerene C 60 and Ag 3 PO 4 .
