The combination of two or more semiconductor materials for the synthesis of new hybrid photocatalyst could be a good approach to enhance the visible light absorption, electron-hole (e⁻/h⁺) pair separation rate and photocatalytic decomposition of the organic contaminants. Herein, a facile in situ oxidative polymerization method has been used for the synthesis of visible light active g-C₃N₄/TiO₂@polyaniline (g-C₃N₄/TiO₂@PANI) nanocomposite for the decomposition of the congo red (CR) under the solar light irradiation. Prior to making the composite of TiO₂ (P25) with g-C₃N₄ and polyaniline, a lamellar structure was generated onto the TiO₂ brim by alkali hydrothermal treatment to enhance the surface area and adsorption properties. The PL and UV-visible analysis clearly showed the fast separation of the e⁻/h⁺ pair, and reduction in the bandgap energy of the g-C₃N₄/TiO₂@PANI nanocomposite. The results revealed TiO₂, PANI and g-C₃N₄ showed the synergestic behavior in the g-C₃N₄/TiO₂@PANI nanocomposite and greatly enhanced the photocatalytic degradation of the CR. The photocatalytic decomposition of the CR was almost 100% for 20 mg/L at pH 5, 7 and 180 min. The reusability study of the spent catalyst showed the 90% degradation of CR after four consecutive cycles indicate that g-C₃N₄/TiO₂@PANI nanocomposite is a stable and efficient catalyst. The high efficiency and reusability of the g-C₃N₄/TiO₂@PANI nanocomposite could be attributed to the higher visible light absorption and sensitizing effect of the g-C₃N₄ and PANI.
