Abstract :
Sonochemical synthesis of Titania, Titania-Polyaniline, and Clay-Titania-Polyaniline composites were carried out. The composite systems were characterized by various physico-chemical techniques. Photocatalytic activity was tested selecting some common dyes as substrates. Composites exhibited higher activity for the degradation of dyes under visible light in most of the cases.
