3D-printed CQD-reinforced copper composites: Preparation and photocatalytic characteristics
In this study, we fabricated carbon quantum dot (CQD)-modified Cu/CuxO hybrid photocatalysts via direct-writing 3D printing. Characterization confirmed uniform CQD dispersion on the material surface. The CQD-Cu/CuxO composite exhibited exceptional photocatalytic activity, degrading 94.1 % of methyl orange (MO) within 150 min (absorbance drop: 1.2669 → 0.0742) under visible light—significantly outperforming the CQD-free counterpart (62.3 % degradation) with a 31.8 % enhancement. This improvement stems from synergistic mechanisms: (1) CQDs broaden visible-light absorption and promote photogenerated charge separation to boost quantum efficiency, and (2) π-π interactions between CQDs’ aromatic structure and MO enhance dye adsorption. The 3D-printed catalyst retained 80.8 % efficiency over four reuse cycles, demonstrating superior recoverability while mitigating recyclability challenges and secondary pollution risks. This work pioneers CQD integration in 3D-printed Cu-based composites for sustainable, high-performance photocatalytic wastewater treatment.
