Conducting polymers represent an important class of functional organic materials for next-generation electronic and optical devices. Advances in nanotechnology allow for the fabrication of various conducting polymer nanomaterials composites synthesis with the different methods. Conducting polymer nanomaterials composites featuring high surface area, small dimensions, and exhibit unique physical and chemical properties therefore they have been widely used for various purposes such as, they can be used as photocatalyst The present research work is divided in to two parts. First part of thesis deals with the synthesis of three different series of Polyaniline (PANI) composites in which two are Zr-Co-substituted nickel ferrite with formula (NiFe1.2 Zr0.4 Co0.4 O4) and (NiFe Zr0.5 Co0.5 O4), one with MnAl-substituted multiferroics with formula (BiAl0.3Mn0.3Fe0.4O3). The synthesis of composites of Polyaniline (PANI) is carried out with the variation of nanoparticles amount (12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50% w/w). These composites are characterized by different techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Visible, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The structure of PANI/nanomatrials composites was confirmed by XRD analysis while surface morphology was investigated by SEM analysis. The FTIR spectroscopy is used to identify their functional groups present in PANI/NPs composites and the shifting of the peaks has been found towards higher wave number side which exhibits the interaction between the polymer and the nanoparticles in synthesized photocatalyst. In UV/ Vis study blue shift has been found which give the information about the interaction between ferric ions of nanomaterial with nitrogen atom of PANI, shortening in the conjugation length, and coordinating complex formation. The XPS analysis has been carried out to determine oxidation states of the elements present in the synthesized composites materials. In the second part these synthesized PANI/NPs are used as photocatatlyst against toxic dyes such as Methylene Blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO). These synthetic dyes are most widely used in textile and leather tanning industries. These dyes are highly colored, toxic, and carcinogenic in nature. These effluents released from the textile and leather tanning industries containing 1mg/L of dye are enough to impart color to the water thus making it unpotable for daily use. The technology used to treat dyes is based on physical, chemical, and biological methods. Precipitation, coagulation, filtration, floatation, electrochemical degradation, and advanced oxidation techniques are considered as chemical methods. Adsorption, reverse osmosis, and ultrafiltration are treated as physical methods. Photochemical irradiation of toxic dyes in presence of a photocatalyst is one of the alternative methods developed recently. Theses composites are then used for the photoelectric degradation of methylene blue and methylene orange from aqueous media under UV light. Effect of reaction time, NPs concentration and the kinetics is studied. It has been found that the degradation of methylene blue and methylene orange increase with the increase in nanoparticles concentration in the composite material. This degradation rate has been found to be low for methylene blue which is cationic dye as compare to the methylene orange. The photoelectric degradation for both dyes is also examined under the similar conditions of UV light by pure PANI and nanoparticles. The degradation rate has been found very low because recombination of electron-holes occurs in pure PANI and pure nanomaterial very comfortably as compare to composites in which it is strictly prohibited. The NPs amount present in the composite shows remarkable influence on the degradation efficiency. Through several groups of univariate experiments, the optimum PANI/ NPs composite dosage of the photolysis process is found to be 0.2g at 40ml of 10-5M solution of both dyes. The photolysis process is relatively fast at the initial stage up to 30 minutes and later it become slow, moreover the degradation of both dyes is in accordance with the first-order kinetic equation.

ضلع سوات کے آثارِ قدیمہ کا اسلامی احکام کی روشنی میں تحقیقی جائزہ

Swat valley with reference to its history is a famous region. Many civilizations originated in this land and that’s where they ended. Buddhism had a golden age in swat. Hinduism had also been in this land for some time. Artifacts from Greece and the Kushan period are also found here. The artifacts and traces of all these civilizations still exist in swat today. Similar artifacts have been discovered by the efforts of experts however, the gravity of the earth chest is much greater. Swat archeology is threatened by human population and some religious misunderstanding. Protecting Non-Muslim places of worship and respecting their emotions is a part of Islamic teachings. This paper describes the sharī‛ah rules of archeology and also different types of archeological sites like buildings, worship places and mentioning the orders related to idols etc.

First Principles Studies of Two Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides and Mxenes With Tailored Properties

In this thesis, we employ Density Functional Theory to gain a comprehensive insight in the physical properties (structural, vibrational, optoelectronic, photocatalytic) of MXenes, two dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and their heterostructure, aiming at extending their applicability. In MXenes, Ti2CO2, Zr2CO2, and Hf2CO2 are found to be indirect band gap semiconductors with a band gap of 0.85 eV, 1.62 eV and 1.72 eV respectively. Transition from an indirect to a direct band gap has been achieved for the biaxial tensile strain of 3% for Ti2CO2, 8% for Zr2CO2, and 13% for Hf2CO2 while the nature of the band gap remained indirect in the case of the compressive strain. The size of the band gap passed through a maximum under tensile strain and decreased monotonically under compressive strain. Analysis of Bader charge distribution show that the tensile strain decreased the transfer of charge from the Ti, Zr, and Hf atoms to the C atom. Phonon spectra exhibit that these systems are stable under a wide range of strains from compression to tension. The photocatalytic properties shows that unstrained and biaxial tensile strained Ti2CO2, Zr2CO2, and Hf2CO2 systems can be used to oxidize H2O into O2. In 2D TMDCs, MoS2, MoSe2 and MoTe2 are found to be direct band gap semiconductors. Compressive strain of 1.5% for MoS2, 1% for MoSe2, and 1.5% for MoTe2, transform their band gaps from direct to indirect. A remarkable valence band splitting and mobility of electron are also calculated and found to vary under strain. Photocatalytic properties show that unstrained and respective strained MoS2 and MoSe2 systems can oxidize H2O to O2, while MoTe2 fail to oxidize. Furthermore phonon spectra dictate that these systems are stable under both compressive and tensile strains. Mo2CO2/W2CO2 and Mo2CF2/W2CO2 out-of-plane heterostructures and their corresponding monolayers are found to be dynamically stable. Mo2CO2 and W2CO2 exhibiting the properties of two dimensional large band gap topological insulator, while Mo2CF2 and W2CF2 are metals. Topological behavior of Mo2CO2 and W2CO2 monolayers remain in Mo2CO2/W2CO2 (semiconductor-semiconductor) van der Waals heterostructure having type-II band alignment. Metal-semiconductor (Mo2CF2/W2CO2) heterostructure generating n-type Schottky contact with barrier height of 0.29 eV, due to dipole interface induced by charge rearrangement. Large absorption in visible region is observed in the Mo2CO2 than W2CO2, where blue shift is noticed in the excitonic peaks of later. A further blue shift is observed in the W2CO2/Mo2CO2, especially the part contributed by Mo2CO2.
