The synthesized materials were characterized using XRD and UV/Vis absorbance spectroscopy. The study investigates the applicability of polyindole based ZnO/MgO nanocomposite for the removal of Pb(II) heavy metal ion. Proper tuning can increase the removal efficiency of polyindole based ZnO/MgO nanocomposite and can be made a good candidate for the removal of lead ions.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Adsorption</kwd><kwd>chemical oxidation</kwd><kwd>co-precipitation</kwd><kwd>nanocomposite</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Ngah W.S.W., Hanafiah M.A.K.M.
