Comprehensive FTIR, Raman, FESEM, XRD, HRTEM, and DRS analyses confirm the successful synthesis of the materials, revealing irregular nanoscale particles with crystallite sizes of 8.36 nm (TAZnPc), 29.26 nm (Bi2O3), and 29.86 nm (PANITAZnPc@Bi2O3). TGA reveals that Bi2O3 exhibits excellent thermal stability up to 930 C, while the PANITAZnPc@Bi2O3 composite up to about 150 C. The photocatalytic performance was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) in the presence of H2O2 under visible light, with systematic variations in catalyst dosage, irradiation time, solution pH, and reusability. Compared to bare Bi2O3 and TAZnPc@Bi2O3, the PANI-TAZnPc@Bi2O3 composite showed superior activity- its narrower band gap, enhanced MB adsorption, and reduced electronhole recombination, achieving 99.75 % dye removal in 100 min under optimal conditions. The PANITAZnPc@Bi2O3 photocatalyst demonstrated excellent stability, retaining its photocatalytic activity over five consecutive cycles with no significant changes in its XRD and FTIR profiles. Reactive species such as OH and O?? drive methylene blue degradation, leading to its mineralization into inorganic ions as confirmed by ionic chromatography. Finally, a detailed photocatalytic mechanism is proposed to explain the enhanced performance of this nanocomposite. 2025 Elsevier B.V.
