Study on photocatalytic properties of zinc oxide polypyrrole nanocomposites

Abstract

Polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline (PANI) and polythiophene (PTh) are commonly used as conductive polymers in electrochemical capacitors. The research of various electrode materials has played a positive role in promoting the development of high-energy equipment. In​ this paper, polypyrrole nanoparticles with different contents were doped to prepare binary nanocomposite samples. Degradation experiment chooses rhodamine into degradation, for the preparation of a new type of composite photocatalyst samples of photocatalytic performance situation, analysis and evaluation, combined with the degradation reaction kinetics equation, loop stability experiment, the capture of free radicals and intermediate identification were studied, and the research of photocatalytic technology can better solve practical human life need to provide certain theoretical basis. With the global energy shortage and environmental pollution becoming more and more prominent, the demand for clean and efficient renewable new energy and high performance energy storage and conversion technology is increasing day by day.
