This study explores the ability of chitosan to control the size of ZnO quantum dots (CHT/ZnO QDs) and defects formation via the microwave-assisted method, as well as their photocatalytic oxidation activity towards oxytetracycline (OTC). The intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds within th...
