The fabrication of photocatalyst with a visible response and prolonged lifetime of charge carriers is a significant tactic to treat EDCs. In this work, a green synthesis route was adopted to prepare carbon quantum dots (CQDs) from Arabian dates (AD-CQDs) via hydrothermal method. The different weight...
