Abstract

Nitrogen-doped carbon dot decorated zinc oxide nanoparticles (N-CDs@ZnO composite) were successfully fabricated by an economical wet-impregnation method and used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of aqueous methylene blue (MB) dye under UV-light at room temperature. The chemical composition and...
