Waste-derived carbon nanodots for fluorimetric and simultaneous electrochemical detection of heavy metals in water
Sustainable synthesis of carbon nanodots (CNDs) through a green route – converting beer bagasse, a by-product of the beer industry, into hydrochar via eco-friendly hydrothermal carbonization, and their application for the selective detection of harmful heavy metal ions.
