Boosting the photodegradation of rhodamine B with the CuWO4/g-C3N4 heterojunction by introducing biomass derived N-CQDs as an electron mediator: mechanism and DFT calculations

This work demonstrates the waste biomass assisted synthesis of a Z-scheme catalyst (CuWO 4 /N-CQD/g-C 3 N 4 ). The as-synthesized catalyst has been utilized for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B in aqueous medium.
