Fish-scale-derived carbon quantum dots coupled with ZnO/Co 3 O 4 for adsorption-assisted visible-light decolorization of reactive black 5
Javeria Asim, Muhammad Younas Afzal, Saeed Rehman, Ahson Jabbar Shaikh, Farooq Ahmad, Muhammad Tahir Amin, Fiaz Hussain, Muhammad BilalFish-scale biowaste-derived CQDs were coupled with ZnO/Co 3 O 4 . The optimized catalyst showed a 2.62 eV band gap, quenched PL, 94% decolorization at pH 2, and 74% activity after three reuse cycles.
