In this study, Kraft lignin (KL) was depolymerized by indigenous potential ligninolytic strains to obtain the optimum amount of Vanillic acid. Initially, fifteen bacterial strains were isolated from decaying wood mixed soil to assess their lignin degradation efficiency. Five potential lignin-degrading microbes (RW-B₂, RW-B₄, RW-B₉, RW-B₁₁ and RW-B₁₅) were identified by nutrient enrichment technique. RW-B₁₅ was observed as a dominant strain sharing a 99 % resemblance to <em>Bacillus megaterium</em> sp. Optimum temperature and bacterial inoculum concentration were noted as 35 °C and 1 %, respectively. Mixed microbial culture of five potential ligninolytic strains showed better KL degradation than pure culture due to different metabolic capacities, enzymatic mechanisms and synergetic impact among the association members. The KL degradation study was conducted with different KL concentrations (500–2000 mg/l) at optimum temperature using 1 % inoculums. The production of Vanillic acid increased from 60.1 to 199.9 mg/l with increasing concentration of KL from 500 to 2000 mg/l. The maximum production of Vanillic acid was obtained on 3rd day of degradation and it decreased thereafter which is probably due to an increase in microbial toxicity and enzymatic activity. However, the COD level continuously decreased for all KL concentrations with degradation time till the last day. The pH of the KL solution slightly decreased on 3rd day due to the acidic nature of Vanillic acid.

Analytical methods were utilized to investigate the prepared nanocomposite's structural, crystalline, morphological, functional, optical, and thermal characteristics. The prepared sample was analyzed using X-ray diffraction, which revealed that CuO nanoparticles have a monoclinic crystal structure, and no impurity peaks were observed. Field emission scanning microscopes displayed the uniform dispersion of spherical CuO nanoparticles with layered and non-agglomerated, resembling a sponge-like structure of rGO. The microstructural analysis also confirmed the dispersion of copper inside reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. The optical properties, including light absorption and bandgap width, were investigated using UV–visible spectroscopy using bandgap energies of 2.5 and 2.8 eV. In addition, the nanocomposite's ability to degrade cationic Rhodamine 6G and anionic Rose Bengal dyes by photocatalysis was evaluated. The degradation of RB and Rh6G dyes was characterized by nanocatalysis using UV–visible spectroscopy and a pseudo-first-order kinetics model. The pseudo-first-order degradation kinetic rate of Rhodamine 6G was determined to be 2.55 x 10⁻² min⁻¹, indicating that the nanocomposite effectively initiates this dye's degradation.

Furthermore, the Ag–V₂O₅/PANi composite exhibited superior stability even after undergoing 3000 charge to discharge cycles.

The structural modulations that include the periodicity of colored polymer bands, morphological changes, and spacings between two adjacent layers were studied. The colored variations of polymer bands and their dependency on the concentration of BP, hydroquinone and alcoholic compositions have been studied. The highly consistent pink-white colored polymer bands, loosely-packed band structures, and perfectly ordered band structures resulted in MeOH, EtOH, and BuOH systems, respectively, as discussed. The evolution of tiny bubbles and convection-type instability has been observed in different conditions of the FP reactions that significantly affect the planar movement of the polymer fronts. The hot spots, which usually represent the high-temperature regions of a typical frontal surface, have also been demonstrated in all reacting systems, which may cause spin mode propagation of the fronts and change the surface geometry, as described. The materials characterization was carried out using UV–visible spectrophotometer, NMR, FTIR, and FESEM techniques, providing information about the polymer phases involved in band structures, composition, and surface properties.

To increase their effectiveness in DSSC applications, the synthesized nanoparticles underwent optimization. The morphology and size distribution of MgO NPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which revealed spherical forms with a consistent size distribution.
