Experimental study on synthesizing TiO2 nanotube/polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites and their thermoelectric and photosensitive property characterization

The role of (photo)electrochemistry in the rational design of hybrid conducting polymer/semiconductor assemblies: From fundamental concepts to practical applications

“…Employing micellar solutions is an elegant way to overcome solubility issues, because it also facilitates transport of the monomers inside the SC host matrix [190]. consequently the small area of the forming p/n junction [166,167,173,177,179,191].…”

Porous hexapod CuO nanostructures: precursor-mediated fabrication, characterization, and visible-light induced photocatalytic degradation of phenol

“…As no new absorption peak is observed, the phenol has been decomposed. The result indicates that CuO shows great potential as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst, otherwise, pure TiO 2 nanoparticles [14], pure TiO 2 nanotubes [15,16] and CdS [17] catalyst take effect only under UV-light. By monitoring the phenol absorption peak at 270 nm, plots of the degradation ratio versus reaction time were obtained for different catalyst samples (hexapod CuO, commercial CuO and P25) under identical conditions (Fig.…”

In situ One‐pot Electrochemical Synthesis of Aluminum Oxide/polyaniline Nanocomposite; Characterization and Its Adsorption Properties towards Some Heavy Metal Ions

“…24 It is shown that, the conductivity, thermal stability and morphological properties of conducting polymers can be significantly improved or altered by application of metallic compounds in their structure. [25][26][27] Several reports have been published on the synthesis of polyaniline nanocomposites with the inorganic nanoscale materials such as TiO 2 , 28 CdS, 29 [35][36][37][38] Besides the simplicity, lower diameter nanofibers of nano alumina and better distribution in polyaniline are advantages of the proposed method for preparation of the mentioned nanocomposite. Electrochemical polymerization of aniline can be symbolized as following half reaction:…”
