Carbon Nanodots Embedded on a Polyethersulfone Membrane for Cadmium(II) Removal from Water

Cadmium(II) is a toxic heavy metal in aquatic systems. As a potential solution, green carbon nanodots (CNDs) were synthesized from oats and embedded on polyethersulfone membrane (PES) via phase inversion for the adsorption of Cd<sup>2+</sup> from water. Characterization techniques for th...
