The Ag 2 CrO 4 /SnO 2 n–n type heterojunction has been fabricated by coupling Ag 2 CrO 4 particles with SnO 2 nanorods via an in situ synthetic method. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism of the as-prepared heterojunction has also been discussed. Characterization results revealed that the as-fa...
