Abstract

As a unique group of advanced polymer-based materials, conducting polymer nanocomposites combine the flexibility and conductivity of the polymer with the distinct properties of nanofillers. Conducting polymers have been widely investigated in various applications. Several conducting polymers, such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), poly (3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), and polythiophene (PTH) have been loaded with various semiconductor nanomaterials to prepare the composite photocatalysts. In this review, we summarized the synthesis, characterization, properties, and novel applications of conducting polymer nanocomposites especially photocatalytic degradation of hazardous chemicals. The synergic effect between conducting polymers and semiconductor nanomaterials were observed for a lot of composite photocatalysts.
