Carbon quantum dots and reduced graphene oxide composite in pollutant degradation

Carbon quantum dots (CQD) as novel types of developing materials have aroused great attention in recent years. Herein, we report a sustainable synthesis of carbon dots (C QD). The as-prepared CQD were used to produce composites with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) via a one-step hydrothermal method and characterized by using analytical techniques. The activity of the synthesized RC (RGO/Carbon quantum Dots) is confirmed by studying the decolorization of methylene blue (MB) under illumination. The results of the performance showed ۸۷% degradation of MB in the presence of the catalyst under the same condition for the duration of ۱۳۵ minutes.
