Surface Functionalized Fluorescent Carbon Nanodots for Catalytic Reduction of Ionic Dyes and Anti Counterfeiting Applications

Abstract

Dye molecules are an extremely toxic and non-biodegradable contaminant of natural resources and are a major concern to the scientific community. Hence, a particular concern is required to degrade the occurrence of dyes in the aqueous system. An enormously high release of organic pollutants has been seen in the last two decades due to increased population and industrialization. These two issues are responsible for the potential discharge of organic pollutants from industries like printing, textiles, petroleum, paint, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, etc newline
