[Display omitted] •The degradation efficiency of TC over the 0.3-p-Ag2S/n-BiVO4 can be achieved 90.2%.•Ten intermediate products for TC degradation were verified by the GC-MS.•The enhancing photocatalysis mechanism was attributed to the facilitated charge transfer. Three-dimensional microsphere p-Ag...
