N2 - We report the photocatalytic property of a novel AgCl loaded carbon nitride (AgCl/g-C3N5) composite was prepared by a simple precipitation route. The brown colored g-C3N5 was synthesized by a nano-hard templating method using 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole precursor. The morphology, crystallinity and optical properties of the AgCl/g-C3N5composite were characterized using the X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) spectroscopy. The rhodamine B (RhB) removal efficiency was reached 96% within 30 min, which could be attributed to the effective formation of a heterojunction and excellent visible light absorption of AgCl by g-C3N5 incorporation.
