The products of reaction have been investigated using XRD, DTA-TG, Raman spectroscopy, adsorption of nitrogen. MChT and UST promote lowering the temperature of silver niobate (SN) formation. The formed SN possesses higher specific surface area and photocatalytic activity. %K Physics of the surfaces and interface %K Chemistry of the surfaces and interface %K Dimension effects %K Performance %K Experimental techniques %U http://nap.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/nap/nap2013/paper/view/1062
