C. diffusus Vahl cellulose was used as an alternative in the preparation of cellulose-polyaniline composites. This involved the use of sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and sulfuric acid as reagents for the isolation of C. diffusus Vahl cellulose. The isolated material was analysed using Fourier Transforms Infrared (FTIR) and the results showed the it has similar peaks pattern with the original cellulose as observed with 3333 cm −1 for OH stretching, 2889 cm −1 for C-H vibration, and several other indicators. The powder produced was used as a reaction partner for in-situ synthesis of C. diffusus Vahl cellulose-Polyaniline ( C. diffusus Vahl cellulose-PANI) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using ammonium persulfate (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 ) as the oxidator. The solid material product was effective in metanil yellow adsorption from the corresponding solution up to 99%.
