Carbon luminescence structure catalysts for organic dyes degradation

Carbon luminescence structures (CLS), synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis from organic material were used as catalisator for degradation of organic pollutants under simulated sunlight irradiation. As the model compound, organic dye was used. The catalytic activity of the as-prepared CLSs was studied . Complete degradation was achieved in 120 min. Cost-effective and bio-compatible CLSs is a promising new class of catalytic agents for ecology and environment protection.
