Recycling awarded the silver : Ag 3 PO 4 , a highly efficient photocatalyst, decomposes to the weak photocatalyst Ag during consecutive photocatalytic cycles. A facile and very mild wet chemical oxidation method was proposed, which involves the cooperation of H 2 O 2 with Na 2 HPO 4 , to rejuvenate Ag 3 PO 4 from Ag as a recyclable highly efficient photocatalyst (see figure).
