Biobased Carbon Dots: From Fish Scales to Photocatalysis

Biobased Carbon Dots: From Fish Scales to Photocatalysis

The synthesis, characterization and photoreduction ability of a new class of carbon dots made from fish scales is here described. Fish scales are a waste material that contains mainly chitin, one of the most abundant natural biopolymers, and collagen. These components make the scales rich, not only...
