Abstract
In this study, red-emissive carbon quantum dots (R-CQDs) were synthesized using a simple, one-step solvothermal method with 1,3-naphthalenediol as the carbon source. The synthesized R-CQDs were thoroughly characterized in terms of morphology, crystallinity, functional groups, optical, and photocatalytic properties. The R-CQDs exhibited an average particle size of 5 nm, with functional groups aiding in their uniform dispersion in water. Raman spectra revealed the presence of both D and G bands, indicating successful construction of a sp2 core and sp3 hybridized matrix. The R-CQDs showed strong absorption at 512 nm and high emission intensity at 610 nm. Additionally, the R-CQDs demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic performance, achieving 96 % methylene blue degradation in 180 min, with a calculated rate constant of 0.0167 min−1. Their stability across different pH levels further underscores their potential as efficient photocatalysts in a variety of environmental applications.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
