AgBr/AgCl-Ag nanocrystals with various molar Br-to-Ag ratios (R-Br/Ag = 0, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1) and different photoreduction times (0-20 min) were synthesized via stepwise liquid-solid reactions using the freeze-dried PVP-Ag+ hybrid as the Ag source, followed by a photoreduction reaction. The AgBr/AgCl-Ag-7.5(1:2) nanocrystals obtained take on a spherical morphology with a particle-size range of 58 +/- 15 nm. The photocatalytic performance of AgBr/AgCl-Ag nanocrystals was evaluated by photodegrading organic dyes, 4-chlorophenol and isopropanol under artificial visible light (lambda >= 420 nm, 100 mW cm(-2)). For the decomposition of rhodamine B, the AgBr/AgCl-Ag-7.5(1:2) nanocrystals has a photodegradation rate of similar to 0.87 min(-1), similar to 159 times higher than that (similar to 0.0054 min(-1)) of TiO2 (P25), whereas the AgCl-Ag and AgBr-Ag nanocrystals have photodegradation rates of 0.35 min(-1) and 0.45 min(-1), respectively. The efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in the ternary system consisting of AgBr, AgCl and Ag species plays a key role in the enhancement of photocatalytic performance.
