Ag_xS crystals were synthesized via hydrothermal (Ag_xS-H) and in situ ion-exchange (Ag_xS-IE) methods. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared absorption spectroscopy, N₂ adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and surface photovoltage measurements. The photocatalytic performance was investigated for the decomposition of methyl blue (MB) under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). The Ag_xS-H had smaller particles, wider band gap and weaker recombination of photoinduced charges than Ag_xS-IE, resulting in a higher photocatalytic activity. Moreover, Ag_xS-H was stable, and could be reused five times without loss of photocatalytic activity. Additionally, a possible pathway for the photocatalytic degradation of MB over Ag_xS has been proposed, that MB was oxidized mainly by hydroxyl radicals and partly via electron holes generated in the Ag_xS. Ag_xS-H is an efficient photocatalyst and has great potential for the degradation of harmful organic dyes in wastewater.
