Quantum dot decorated polyaniline plastic as a multifunctional nanocomposite: experimental and theoretical approach

Abstract

PANI based plastic NCs shows good adsorption power, anticorrosive and thermal stability. The photocatalytic activity was observed against methyl-red dye. The NCs also shows good magnetic, antibacterial, and electrical properties.

Developing tiny-sized particles, different modification behaviors of gold atoms, and nucleating distorted particles

“…50 The mixed metal nanocomposites showed good photocatalytic activity against methyl red dye. [51][52][53][54][55][56] Different synthetic approaches and advancements in synthesizing nanomaterials were reviewed. 57 Those reported nanocomposites, nanomaterials, or quantum dots for various applications are also related to tiny-sized particles.…”

Light-absorption-driven photocatalysis and antimicrobial potential of PVP-capped zinc oxide nanoparticles

“…Under direct sunlight irradiation, these oxidation and reduction processes could degrade the organic pollutants. Based on earlier studies 53 , the following equation explains the photocatalytic reaction mechanism: The detailed summary of photocatalytic degradation of pollutants is shown in Table 6…”

Co3O4 quantum dot decorated polypyrrole nanocomposites as a flexible, conducting, anticorrosive and antibacterial agent: sustainable experimental and theoretical approach

“…In connection with earlier work, 9,10,18–21 here we focus on the synthesis, and novel applications of Co 3 O 4 QDs, PPy CPs, and Co 3 O 4 @PPy NCs. Experimental, computational (DFT), and adsorption (Langmuir and Henry) techniques were used to support our results.…”

“…16 Nerkar et al studied ZnO/PANI NCs for the purification of impure water by the degradation of MO dye from untreated water. 17 In connection to earlier work, 9,10,[18][19][20][21] here we focused on the synthesis, and novel applications of NCs. The dilute HCl is used in different industrial applications like acidizing oil, acid cleaning, acid pickling, processing of minerals and ores, the metallurgical process of CaCl 2 , food processing, etc.…”
