Abstract

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs), are a novel class of carbon nanomaterials that exhibit outstanding physical, chemical, and optical characteristics in addition to strong light absorption. By substituting some of the carbon atoms in CQDs for heteroatoms like N, B, P, and S, it is possible to modify the surface chemistry and electronic properties of the structures, boosting their catalytic activity. Adding B dopant to CQDs changes its surface chemistry and morphology, opening up a wide range of potential uses. The presented study illustrates a quick and environmentally friendly method for producing B-CQDs through microwave-assisted method. According to TEM characterization, the generated B-CQDs had a spherical form, an average diameter of 12 nm, and were negatively charged particles with good water dispersibility and no discernible aggregation. The thorough surface chemistry characterization revealed the presence of B-O and B-C bonds, as well as oxygen-containing surface functional groups in the form of hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups. Additionally, using an RB organic dye as a model molecule, the sonocatalytic, photocatalytic, and synergistic effects of the two processes were investigated.
