Nitrogenated CQD decorated ZnO nanorods towards rapid photodegradation of rhodamine B: A combined experimental and theoretical approach

Emerging properties of carbon based 2D material beyond graphene

“…Similar tuning of feature is observed for N/B/N-B doped graphyne systems [113,114]. In a recent publication of Mandal et al nitrogenated carbon quantum dots with ZnO nanorod heterostructure has been used for better catalytic activity of rhodamine B dye [115]. The dye degradation up to ∼90% has been recorded under ultra-violet (UV)-irradiation.…”

Self-assembled ZnO microspheres coated with carbon dot-doped CoNi LDH wrinkled films as electrochemical sensors for highly sensitive detection of hydrazine

“…2a), respectively. The XRD spectra of ZnO@CoNi LDH-NCDs show almost the same characteristic peaks as those of ZnO, indicating that the addition of CoNi LDH and NCDs does not change the crystal structure of ZnO 24,39 and that the diffraction peaks of CoNi LDH-NCDs were less intense, which may be due to their lower loading and the shielding effect of NCDs on the surface of CoNi LDH nanosheets. 40 Furthermore, the comparison with the XRD of CoNi-LDH (Fig.…”

Preparation of Ag3PO4tetrapods anchored to nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots for enhanced photocatalytic performance

“…06-0505). 24 After the doping of NCQDs, compared to the original sample, the characteristic peaks of composite samples almost did not change, the reason for which may be the additional amount of NCQDs in the composites was really low. Moreover, the acute XRD peaks also indicated highly crystalline photocatalysts.…”

“…16 More importantly, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) can effectively induce charge delocalization, lessen the work function of quantum dots, and strengthen the electron transfer reaction. 17,18 Numerous reports have certified that integrating NCQDs with other semiconductors could form nano heterojunctions, therefore effectively enhancing the photocatalytic performance.…”
