• numerous modification strategies. Silver-modified titanium dioxide (Ag@TiO2) nanoparticles have gained significant attention as advanced photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants, particularly under visible-light irradiation. The incorporation of silver introduces localized surface plasmon

• factors, RhB is considered a high-priority contaminant, and developing efficient, sustainable degradation technologies for its removal remains a key goal in environmental science [3][18][19][20]. The main objective of this study was to synthesize silver-modified titanium dioxide (Ag@TiO2) photocatalysts
