| Summary: | Recently, the importance of sustainable environment has been engaged in many science practices and learning. This article intends to provide teachers in secondary school and research beginners with knowledge background on conducting polymers (CPs) for its application in environmental protection studies. A concise and straightforward discussion on the basic concept of CPs and its role as i) sensors for gas pollutants ii) photocatalyst are explained. A general workflow to guide readers in identifying and validating suitable sensors is included. In addition, the article provides a step-by-step guideline to assist readers in performing photocatalytic degradation experiments associated with CPs. |
