It has been found that in response to the excitation light, the conductance of the PANi component in the PANi/TiO<sub>2</sub> heterostructure exhibits a distinct mode to be different from that of a single pristine PANi layer. The features account for the effects of photoelectronic and electrochemical processes that associate with the photoinduction in the PANi/TiO<sub>2</sub> heterostructure. The photoelectronic effect involves the appearance of the excess charges photogenerated inside the heterostructure on the depletion region. Due to the thermal diffusion of excess charges across the heterojunction, the width of the depletion is altered, leading to a modification in the conductance of the structure components, including the PANi. The electrochemical effect, on the other hand, relates to the appearance of the reactive oxygen species of O<sub>2</sub> <sup>•-</sup>, OH<sup>•-</sup> and H<sup>+</sup> that are created outside the heterostructure surface due to the photoinduction. Acting as strong oxidants, the species play the role of extra acceptor-like dopants and donor dedoping agents that modify the oxidation state and then the hole density of the p-type semiconductor PANi. The initial modification causes a sudden drop in PANi conductance at the start. As the exposure is further prolonged, the oxidation degree of the PANi component is further altered; the initial PANi emeraldine salt is gradually inverted to the emeraldine base, resulting in a conversion of its conductance. The combination of two modifications is explained for the mixing responses in the conductance of the PANi component and the U-turn shape of its baseline.</p>","PeriodicalId":12894,"journal":{"name":"Heliyon","volume":"11 4","pages":"e42807"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11903889/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143623713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pyrolysis is increasingly utilized for the disposal of biomass wastes through thermal conversion into chemical raw materials. Assessing the pyrolysis kinetics, reaction mechanism, thermodynamic parameters for individual components of peanut shells is crucial for its valorization. In this study, conditions for pyrolysis were optimized under pure N<sub>2</sub> flow across temperatures ranging from 303 K to 1173 K at the temperature ramp of 10 K/min, 20 K/min, and 30 K/min. The peak-differentiating analysis using Gaussian function was employed to segregate the pyrolysis of peanut shell into several independent one-step parallel reactions, corresponding to pseudo-lignin, pseudo-cellulose, and pseudo-hemicellulose decomposition. The Coats-Redfern, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, and Vyazovkin techniques were employed to estimate kinetic parameters and reaction mechanism for each pseudo-component of peanut shell. The performed analyses revealed that the average activation energy values generally followed an order of pseudo-lignin > pseudo-hemicellulose > pseudo-cellulose, with values of 174.31 kJ/mol, 133.89 kJ/mol, and 115.44 kJ/mol by Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, 177.79 kJ/mol, 136.53 kJ/mol, and 120.33 kJ/mol by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, and 174.96 kJ/mol, 134.29 kJ/mol, and 116.61 kJ/mol by Vyazoykin, respectively. The Coats-Redfern method indicated that the suitable mechanism of reaction for pseudo-hemicellulose and pseudo-cellulose were random nucleation-based, while diffusional-based mechanism was identified for pseudo-lignin. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the decomposition of peanut shell was endothermic and non-spontaneous, and it can be converted into value-added sources of energy steadily through pyrolysis process. This study offers a reliable approximation of experimental data irrespective of pyrolysis behavior and guides the resourceful utilization of peanut shell.</p>","PeriodicalId":12894,"journal":{"name":"Heliyon","volume":"11 4","pages":"e42800"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11904487/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143624366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
