Abstract

In this work, we demonstrated the successful construction of metal-free zerodimensional/ two-dimensional carbon nanodot (CND)-hybridized protonated g-C3N4 (pCN) (CND/pCN) heterojunction photocatalysts by means of electrostatic attraction. We experimentally found that CNDs with an average diameter of...
