Description
Summary:Sustainable supply of clean water is one of the ultimate challenges of 21st century. To date, numerous materials have been tested to extract water pollutants, of which PANI-based nanocomposites are more desirable owing to their various unique properties. In this connection, the vital concern about pollution caused by organic pollutants and wastewater treatment using PANI-based nanocomposite materials, and the recent significant developments in this field, it is necessary to conduct a thematic review. This review summarizes recent progresses in dye containing wastewater treatment utilizing various PANI-based nanocomposites. Furthermore, synthetic routes, removal efficiencies, adsorption capacities, and experimental conditions of the various nanocomposites towards wastewater treatment are also summarized. From the findings, it is obvious that PANI-based nanocomposites could be a promising material for efficient dye remediation.
