An efficient homotype Ag 3 PO 4 /BiVO 4 heterojunction photocatalyst is described. Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles preferentially deposit on the highly active BiVO 4 (040) facets by means of heterojunction construction together with morphology engineering. The Ag 3 PO 4 /BiVO 4 photocatalyst shows high charge separation efficiency as well as enhanced visible‐light response ability and thus possesses superior visible light photocatalytic activity.
