Abstract

A new class of PANI/Sn(II)SiO3/FCNTs nanocomposite was synthesized by mixing polyaniline into the gel of Sn(II)SiO3 followed by FCNTs (Polyaniline/Sn(II)SiO3/Functionalized Carbon nanotubes). The physico-chemical characterization was carried out by scanning electron microscope, XRD (X-ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and simultaneous thermogravimetric analysis studies. The ion-exchange capacity (1.2 meq/g) and distribution studies were also determined to understand the ion-exchange capabilities. The DC electrical conductivity studies revile it in the range of 3–5 × 10−3 S/cm. On the basis of distribution studies, ion-selective membrane electrode was designed for Hg(II). The analytical utility of this membrane was established by using it as an indicator electrode in electrometric titrations.
