Abstract

concentration, respectively. Meanwhile, at the same concentration, a study on the breakdown of methylene blue (MB) dye shows 99.9% dye decolorization in 12 min. The obtained bio-safe CECDs have shown better potential to serve as antibacterial agents for disinfectant formulations and these nanocatalysts, can be integrated into the current wastewater treatment and purification system.
