Abstract: “The aim of the present work was to synthesize polyindole based NiO-MgO nanocomposite, to study the factors affecting photocatalytic process and also to find out the optimal conditions that could be used in this process. The synthesized material was characterized using SEM, EDAX and XRD. The study also investigates the applicability of the nanocomposite as an antimicrobial agent”
