Origin of Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity of Ag3AsO4 from First-Principles Calculation

Recently a novel sliver oxide Ag3AsO4 has been found to be an excellent photocatalyst with strong oxidation capability for pollutant degradation under visible light. But the origin of its high visible light photocatalytic activity was unclear which hindered further research of Ag3AsO4. For clarifyin...
