Novel polypyrrole-sensitized hollow TiO2/fly ash cenospheres: Synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic ability under visible light

Study on stability of poly(3-hexylthiophene)/titanium dioxide composites as a visible light photocatalyst

“…Conjugated polymer/TiO 2 photocatalysts hold great promise for solar chemical conversion processes by combining the advantages from both the conjugated polymer and the inorganic semiconductor, overcoming the serious drawbacks of fast charge recombination and the limited visible light absorption of inorganic semiconductor. Polythiophenes [8][9][10], polypyrroles [11][12][13], polyanilines [14][15][16][17] and their derivates [18][19][20][21][22][23] have been widely incorporated with TiO 2 , resulting in conjugated polymer/TiO 2 photocatalysts with not only efficient visible light activity but also improved ultraviolet light activity by extending the response spectrum of TiO 2 to visible light region and facilitating the separation of photogenerated carriers.…”

DC electrical conductivity and rate of ammonia vapour-sensing performance of synthetic polypyrrole–zirconium(IV) phosphate cation exchange nanocomposite

“…Nanocomposite show new properties due to synergism between the constituents [5][6][7][8][9][10] and more available surface. Because of the new properties, nanocomposites may find applications in various fields such as device fabrication [11], photo catalysis [12], solar cells [13], fuel cell [14], biomedical and sensing application [15].…”

Characterization and photocatalytic properties of ceramics TiO2 nanocomposites

“…TiO 2 phtotocatalyst has introduced practical uses in the environment areas such as deodorization, sterilization, air and water purifiers in addition to self-cleaning because of its strong oxidizing ability [8][9][10]. This paper concentrates on TiO 2 nanoparticles as inorganic filler in composites matrix.…”
