Abstract
A polyaniline Zr(IV) selenotungstophosphate nanocomposite was prepared via sol-gel method and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The combined sorptional–photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite for degradation of methylene blue and malachite green was investigated and was found to be more efficient than separate adsorption in the dark followed by photocatalysis. The dyes were degraded in 3 h by 96% and 89% by the combined process, as compared to 86% and 72% by the two-step process in 5 h. The nanocomposite material showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
