The present work reported on the synthesis and characterization of Poly-3-Thenoic acid/Cu-TiO2 nanohybrid (PCuT) for the photocatalytic degradation of organic azo dye pollutant from wastewater. The as-synthesized nanohybrid by an in-situ modified sol-gel method including chemical oxidative polymerization was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis.DRS), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The characterization results revealed the formation of small aggregates of polymer contained high crystalline anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (XRD) with narrowed bandgap energy (UV-vis.DRS), decreased particle size (TEM) with smooth surface morphology (SEM) and large surface area (BET). All the constituent elements of the polymer and Cu-TiO2 were found in the PCuT nanohybrid material (EDX) and their chemical interaction studied by FT-IR confirmed the stability of the nanohybrid. The photocatalytic activity of the nanohybrid was tested by the degradation of Bismarck Brown R dye under visible light irradiation. To enhance the photocatalytic efficiency, effects of various catalyst/dye reaction parameters such as polymer content, solution pH, catalyst dosage, and initial dye concentration were studied and optimized. HIGHLIGHTS Poly-3-Thenoic acid/Cu-TiO2 nanohybrid material was successfully synthesized by in situ modified sol-gel process Poly-3-Thenoic acid has enhanced the visible light absorption capacity of anatase TiO2 in nanohybrids Electron-hole recombination in TiO2 was effectively inhibited by Cu doping Bismark Brown R, an organic pollutant was successfully degraded in 75 min of visible light irradiation GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Enhanced photocatalytic activities of tapered tetragonal nanorods of anatase TiO2 mediated by H2O2 and NH3 were ascribed to their large surface area, unique surface heterojunction and superior electronic band structure.
