In the present work NiO/ZnO was synthesized from combustion method, polyaniline and the polyaniline based NiO/ZnO using chemical oxidation method. The synthesized materials were characterized using XRD and UV/Vis absorbance spectroscopy. From XRD, the formation of NiO/ZnO was confirmed. The study investigates the applicability of NiO/ZnO Nanocomposite as photo catalyst for the degradation of organic dyes. Results suggested an increase in degradation efficiency in the case of polymer nanocomposite when compared to counter parts.
