A bifunctional visible-light photocatalyst Ag–AgBr/TiO2 was synthesized by a facile one-pot method. The three-component composite exhibited much superior visible-light photocatalytic activities for ibuprofen (IBP) degradation and mineralization as compared to single-component (TiO2) and two-componen...
