Electrochemical and photocatalytic studies of Ta(3)N5-TaON-PEDOT-PANI nanohybrids
The present study deals with the synthesis, characterization, and testing of tantalum nitride- tantalum oxynitride (Ta3N5-TaON) coupled organic polymers (poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-polyaniline; PEDOT-PANI) for the electrochemical oxidation and dye degradation applications. The ammonolysis fo...
