Facile Synthesis of “Boron-Doped” Carbon Dots and Their Application in Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of Organic Dyes

Carbon dots (C-dots) were facilely fabricated via a hydrothermal method and fully characterized. Our study shows that the as-synthesized C-dots are nontoxic, negatively charged spherical particles (average diameter 4.7 nm) with excellent water dispersion ability. Furthermore, the C-dots have a rich...
