Surface deposition of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) onto the 100% anatase titania (Ag/TiO2) for evolution of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was achieved sustainably with the assistance of solar energy. The preparation resulted in Ag/TiO2 photocatalyst with varied Ag depositions (0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 3...
