Photocatalytic applications of conducting polymers (CPs)
Author(s): Susheel Kumar Singh, RK Shukla and CK Dixit
Abstract: Photocatalysts provide a sustainable method of treating organic pollutants in wastewater and converting greenhouse gases. Composite photocatalysts based on conducting polymers and metal oxides have emerged as novel and promising photoactive materials. It has been demonstrated that conducting polymers can substantially improve the photocatalytic efficiency of metal oxides owing to their superior photocatalytic activities, high conductivities, and unique electrochemical and optical properties. Consequently, conducting polymer/metal oxide composites exhibit a high photoresponse and possess a higher surface area allowing for visible light absorption, low recombination of charge carriers, and high photocatalytic performance.
