Synthesis and Characterization of Graphene/Polyaniline Nanocomposite Using Green Solvents

Abstract

Our lives are dependent on materials and/or technology, which unfortunately come with a tremendously huge luggage of "dirt". That is its production involves the usage of chemicals, which could be hazardous (i.e. volatile organic solvents) towards both human beings and the environment [1]. A memorandum of understanding was signed by different nations to address the issue of hazards they are faced with and this gave birth to what is known as "Green Chemistry". This green chemistry has been addressed through outreach initiatives, research, implementation and education. In terms of research, Green Chemistry has been practiced in several industries such as in solvents, catalysis, polymers, renewables, analytical methods development, design of safer chemicals and the development of synthetic methods. Therefore, to ensure a cleaner future, chemists went back to the drawing board to

Preparation and Investigations of Structural, Optical and Conductivity Properties of Polyaniline/Titanium Dioxide Nanocomposites

“…The peak 1121 cm -1 is corresponding to aromatic C-H in-plane bending vibrations, 812 cm -1 and 508 cm -1 are attributed to aromatic C-H out-of-plane bending vibrations. These all peaks positions match well with those results in the same research articles [24][25][26]. The characteristics peak of PANI/TiO 2 is assigned as followed: the peak at 928 cm −1 is assigned to plane bending vibrations of C-H which are found during protonation [27].…”
