pH Triggered superior selective adsorption and separation of both cationic and anionic dyes and photocatalytic activity on a fully exfoliated titanate layer–natural polymer based nanocomposite†
Abstract
A fully exfoliated titanate layer–natural polymer amylopectin based nanocomposite, with pH responsive superior selective adsorption, separation of both cationic (MB: 599 mg g−1 at pH 9) and anionic (MO: 558 mg g−1 at pH 3) dyes and photodegradation properties, has been realized through simultaneous in situ layered titanate formation, exfoliation and polymerization.
