Preparation of polyaniline modified TaON with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activities.

TaON modified by polyaniline (PANI), was prepared through a facile chemisorption process. PANI-modified TaON composites with good stabilities exhibit significantly higher photocatalytic activities than that of neat TaON on degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation, which may result from an enhancement of electron-hole separation between PANI and TaON.
