“…At first, the direct rupture of two sulphonate groups followed by the breakage of two benzene rings lead to the formation of intermediate, having m/z 446 and 398, respectively. [35] Besides, the fragmented intermediates are again degraded to the different molecules with m/z 292,190,226,144,164,112 and 96 (Figure S21a and S21b,Supporting Information).…”
Recently, we have developed a novel nanocomposite [cl‐Ch‐p(DEAEM)/Au] comprised of in‐situ deposition on AuNPs on cationically functionalized chitosan (in presence of chemical crosslinker) and its potential application towards efficient photocatalytic degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB 5) and Congo red (CR) dyes under exposure of sunlight. The physical, morphological and structural properties of nanocomposite have been characterised using UV‐Vis, FT‐IR, 1H and 13C NMR, PL, FESEM, TEM, EDAX, TGA, XRD, LC–MS and Zeta potential analyses. Here, it has been observed that the nanocomposite can remove both RB 5 and CR dyes rapidly and efficiently through adsorption, followed by photocatalytic degradation under exposure of sunlight. Besides, the adsorbed dyes have been isolated effectively and the nanocomposite has been regenerated in presence of sunlight just by altering the pH of the media and could be reusable for at least 4 times without remarkable decrease in its efficacy.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
