Abstract

Utilizing NiCl2 as a precursor, PANO (Polyaniline Nickel Oxide Nanocomposite) was manufactured using the Sol-Gel approach using in-situ chemical oxidation polymerization. This procedure involves utilizing K2S2O8 as an oxidant in an acidic medium with various concentrations of NiO 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5moles at RT. XRD, FTIR, SEM, and TEM were used to characterize the produced PANO nanocomposites. Through the photo-degradation of KMnO4 dye,polymer NiOnanocomposite exhibited more promising photocatalytic activity than nitrogen-doped TiO2 for photocatalytic degradation under a UV-Visible light source. Synthesized nanocomposites exhibited ferromagnetic and semiconducting properties. According to the obtained outcomes, produced nanocomposite could be used as an efficient photocatalyst.
