Özet
This study investigated the preparation and detailed characterization of PANI (polyaniline)-TiO2-CuO composites through in-situ chemical oxidation polymerization (PTCI) and mechano-chemical synthesis (PTCS) methods for comparison. The morphological characteristics of ternary composites depend on the ratios of PANI to binary TiO2-CuO composite and the process of preparation. The photocatalytic degradation of diazo Reactive Blue 198 (RB-198) in the presence of the PTCS-81 composite (PANI: TiO2-CuO composite with a mole ratio of 8:1, prepared using PTCS method) reached 90.4% within 60 minutes. Recyclability tests revealed that the composites are stable, underscoring their potential as effective photocatalysts. The proposed degradation pathways of diazo RB-198 dye were discussed both experimentally and theoretically for the first time. The reactivity descriptors confirmed that the nitrogen atoms ...
