Description
Summary:When thinking about adding dopants to carbon quantum dots, the element boron, which has a similar atomic radius to carbon, is a rather natural candidate. However, the carbon quantum dots surface can drastically alter the electrical properties and, as a result, the optical behaviour of hetero-atoms with more electrons than carbon. Despite the fact that boron is a heteroatom with less electrons than carbon, the majority of research publications on boron addition that have been published focus on boron/nitrogen co-doping, and there is very little work that specifically discusses boron doping. The presented research illustrates a straightforward, environmentally friendly method for creating boron doped carbon quantum dots. This is the first report on boron doped carbon quantum dots microwave synthesis under specific reaction circumstances that we are aware of in the literature. Prepared boron doped carbon quantum dots showed high photo-catalytic activity towards the model organic dye Rose Bengal chosen for this purpose, with 84% of the Rose Bengal dye removed.
