ZnO/carbon quantum dots nanocomposites: one-step fabrication and superior photocatalytic ability for toxic gas degradation under visible light at room temperature
Abstract
ZnO/carbon quantum dots (ZnO/CQDs) nanocomposites were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal reaction and used as superior photocatalysts for the degradation of toxic gas (benzene and methanol) under visible light at room temperature. The as-prepared ZnO/CQDs nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that these nanocomposites exhibit higher photocatalytic activity (degradation efficiency over 80%, 24 h) compared to N doped TiO2 and pure ZnO nanoparticles under visible light irradiation. In the present catalyst system, the crucial roles of CQDs in the enhancement of photocatalytic activity of the ZnO/CQDs nanocomposites are illustrated.

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.
