Pristine lanthanum nickelate (LaNiO 3 ), silver phosphate (Ag 3 PO 4 ) and perovskite lanthanum nickelate silver phosphate composites (LaNiO 3 /Ag 3 PO 4 ) were prepared using the facile hydrothermal method. Three composites were synthesized by varying the percentage of LaNiO 3 in Ag 3 PO 4 . The ph...
