Abstract: Indium(III)-doped Ag3PO4 (In-AgP) catalysts at different weight percentages were elaborated by co-precipitation and subjected to XRD, SEM, UV-vis DRS, and FTIR characterization. The prepared catalysts were of spherical morphology and their diameters depends on doping dosage. The whole materials crystallize in a centered cubic system with a slight dissimilation in the positions of the characteristic peaks as a function of indium dosage. The photocatalytic performance of the catalysts under visible light was investigated in the photocatalytic degradation of anionic dye (methyl orange (MO)) and cationic dye (auramine O (AO)) in moderate acid, neutral, and basic pH conditions. Results showed more selectivity to MO than AO. Furthermore, indium-doped samples are more active in the acidic medium than the pure Ag3PO4 (AgP), and 10%In-AgP catalyst presents the highest activity. The degradation efficiency reached 99 % in 60 min for MO and in 180 min for AO. In addition, a high recycling stability was achieved and the catalyst retains its degradation capacity above 99 % after five cycles.
