As the environmental pollution is a global, catastrophic occurrence, green synthesis of different catalysts has long been pursued. Herein, Capsicum annuum L (chili) extract-based catalysts were used for the fabrication of Ag/Ag2O nanoparticles (NPs) without harsh conditions. The prepared Ag/Ag2O NPs were uniform with an average size of 11.4 nm. The Ag/Ag2O was smoothly coupled with P25 to produce Ag/Ag2O@P25 photocatalyst which had effective electron-hole pair separation and active sites for high photocatalytic activity. The catalyst degraded 98.7% of the model pollutant methylene blue (MB) and catalytic conversion of 100% 2,4-dinitroaniline (2,4-DNA) within 60 s were realized under energy saving solar-light illumination, matching the rules of "green chemistry". In addition, the prepared photocatalyst exhibited superior stability and reusability, and the hot filtration test proved the heterogeneity of the catalyst.
