Amélioration des propriétés physico-chimiques et morphologiques des polymères conducteurs organiques synthétisés chimiquement : Application dans le domaine de traitement des eaux usées

Abstract

In this work, we synthesized a conductive polymer, polyaniline, using both chemical and electrochemical methods, and then characterized it using various techniques. The obtained polyaniline was analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy to identify and confirm the presence of the desired functional groups, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) to study its morphology and determine the crystallite size, and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to evaluate its thermal properties. Finally, its performance was tested for dye removal from water using several methods: adsorption, photocatalysis, cyclic voltammetry, and electrolysis. The results showed that polyaniline exhibits high efficiency in cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis, while its performance in adsorption and photocatalysis remains low.
