Ag doped SnO nanostructure and immobilized on hyperbranched polypyrrole for visible light sensitized photocatalytic, antibacterial agent and microbial detection process.

Ag doped SnO Nanostructure and immobilized on hyperbranched polypyrrole is investigated in this project. The product was synthesized by the hydrothermal synthesis method. The surface and structural characteristics of the product was studied by different instrumental analysis. The fabricated nanocomposites was utilized as a nano photocatalyst in the removal of methylene blue dye. The crystallography results depicts the triclinic phase of SnO with the crystallite size 36.3 nm. The band gap of the Ag-SnO/hyperbranched polypyrrole was found 1.50 eV from kubelka-munk measurements. The specific surface area was increased in the presence of the hyperbranched polypyrrole as compared to Ag-SnO samples. The photo-catalytic activity of composites was found 100.0% degradation of CR in 30 min under visible light irradiation. The catalytic kinetic was followed from the first kinetic model. Moreover, the Ag/SnO/hyperbranched polypyrrole was applied as a bactericidal agent against Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. Determination of Streptococcus pyogenes as a pathogenic bacteria was investigated by using aptamer/Ag/SnO/hyperbranched polypyrrole in peroxidase activity. The detection limit of S. pyogenes was 71.0 CFU/mL by using the nano-aptamer.
