The presence of pollutants in the environment harms the living organism. Photocatalytic
technology has been considered as one of the efficient methods for pollutant removal …

Water pollution has become more prevalent as the discharge of dyes from industries into
water bodies has increased in modern life. Photocatalytic approaches are among the most …

Bombyx mori silk, a natural nitrogen-rich biopolymer protein, is earth-abundant and
sustainable. In this study, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) derived from …

This chapter demonstrates the fundamentals of nanomaterials and polymer
nanocomposites. The historical backgrounds, importance, and brief descriptions of the …

The present work is emphasized on converting toxic cigarette butts (CBs) into highly
fluorescent N, S-codoped carbon dots by a facile hydrothermal approach and exploring their …

Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter in the brain of mammals. There is a critical
need for fast and sensitive determination approaches to monitor these potential diseases …

The photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant by carbon-based materials is still a
challenge. Herein, xylose-derived carbon dots (X-CDs) and chitosan-derived CDs (C-CDs) …

Nanostructured conducting conjugated polymer, polypyrrole was synthesized via a template
free approach. Residual α-Fe 2 O 3 was found in the polypyrrole matrix when FeCl 3 was …

Enormous research studies on the abatement of anthropogenic aquatic pollutants including
organic dyes, pesticides, cosmetics, antibiotics and inorganic species by using varieties of …

The commercial production of carbon dots will be concerned with the simplicity and energy
consumption. Herein, maleic acid and m-phenylenediamine form elegantly simple sources …
