Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5835-1223 Nitrogen-doped luminescent carbon nanodots for optimal photo-generation of hydroxyl radicals and visible-light expanded photo-catalysis 2016 Luminescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) have been obtained by hydrothermal processing of ascorbic acid (AA) and ethanolamine (EN). The resulting N-doped carbon nanostructures exhibit interesting and tunable emission capabilities with a dual behavior as down-converters and more importantly, as up-converting quantum dots. Herein, we also evaluate the optical response of these CNDs to selectively generate highly reactive oxidative hydroxyls (OH) upon irradiation with different light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the visible-NIR range. Finally, the role of the N-doped CNDs as nano-sensitizers to maximize the solar light harvesting and expand the photo-catalytic response of a commonly used UV-active catalyst such as TiO2 was successfully tested in the degradation of an organo-chlorinated compound under visible light. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/ERC/HECTOR-267626 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/294094/EU/Synthesis and characterization of NANOstructured materials with LumInescent properties for diaGnostic and tHerapeuTic applications/NANOLIGHT info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 2.561 2016 MATERIALS SCIENCE, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 91 / 273 = 0.333 2016 Q2 T2 0.766 2016 Chemistry (miscellaneous) 2016 Q1 Electrical and Electronic Engineering 2016 Q1 Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials 2016 Q1 Materials Chemistry 2016 Q1 Mechanical Engineering 2016 Q1 Physics and Astronomy (miscellaneous) 2016 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Hueso, J.
