Title A name given to the resource Polypyrrole- silver nanocomposite for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under sunlight irradiation Subject The topic of the resource Methylene blue; Photocatalytic activity; Polypyrrole; Scanning electron microscopy; X-ray diffraction Description An account of the resource Polypyrrole (Ppy) -Silver nanocomposite samples have been synthesised by chemical oxidative polymerisation. The characteristic peaks of face centered cubic (fcc) structure of silver in XRD confirmed its presence in Ppy. Shift in NH stretching frequency observed in FTIR spectroscopy revealed the coordination of silver into Ppy. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was studied by photocatalytic degradation of the aqueous solution of methylene blue (MB) under sunlight. The presence of Ag in polypyrrole (Ppy) enhanced its photocatalytic activity with respect to the reported values which further increased on increasing the silver concentration. 2021 Elsevier B.V.
