Evaluating carbon dots as electron mediators in photochemical and photocatalytic processes of NiFe2O4

Spinel ferrites such as nickel ferrite are promising energy conversion photocatalysts as they are visible-light absorbers, chemically stable, earth abundant, and inexpensive. Nickel ferrite shows poor photocatalytic activity due to fast electron–hole recombination upon illumination. This study evalu...
