Boron Nitride Doped Polypyrrole Hybrid Composites for Photocatalytic Degradation of 2-Chlorophenol from Aqueous Solution

Article Preview

Abstract:

This investigation focused on the photocatalytic degradation of o2-chlorophenol in aqueous solution by using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) doped polypyrrole (PPy) composite under solar irradiation. The composite was prepared via in-situ oxidation polymerization method using FeCl3 as oxidation agent. The synthesized h-BN/PPy composite were comprehensively characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The photodegradation of 2-chlorophenol was performed under direct sunlight for 180 minutes with initial concentration (50-250 mg/L) and pH (3-9). h-BN/PPy composite efficiently degraded 2-chlorophenol (91.1%) with optimum conditions at pH 6 and 50 mg/L initial concentration compared to PPy and h-BN.
