Abstract

Abstract Semiconductor photocatalyst mediated advanced oxidation processes are regarded as one of the most efficient technologies to mitigate organic pollutants in water. However, poor activity under visible light and the recombination of photogenerated electron and hole pairs hinder large scale applicability of semiconductor photocatalysts for water purification. The modification of semiconductor photocatalysts with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is of high importance due to low toxicity, aqueous stability, enhanced surface area, economic feasibility, good biocompatibility and chemical inertness of CQDs. In this review, we highlight strategies to improve the activity of conventional semiconductor photocatalysts via coupling with CQDs. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of CQD modified narrow and wide band gap photocatalysts is due mainly to up-conversion photoluminescence (UPCL) and the electron reservoir properties of CQDs, while in the case of Z-scheme photocatalysts CQDs act as an electron mediator. Finally, a conclusive outlook and suggested research directions are provided to address challenges such as the inadequate separation of photoinduced charge carriers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
