Carmen Universidad de Zaragoza Extraordinary sensitizing effect of co-doped carbon nanodots derived from mate herb: application to enhanced photocatalytic degradation of chlorinated wastewater compounds under visible light 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted tThe present work investigates the role of two types of carbon nanodots (CNDs) as novel sensitizers of TiO2to create a visible-light driven photo-catalyst that is not only efficient for solar-driven pollution abate-ment, but also inexpensive, durable and environmentally-friendly. Two widely available green organicprecursors, the Argentinean herb Mate and the Stevia plant have been selected as the carbogenic sourceto thermally induce the formation of different types of CNDs with different levels of N and P doping andtunable photoluminescence response in the UV–vis-near infrared (NIR) ranges. These CNDs have beensuccessfully assembled with TiO2to form heterogeneous photocatalysts that are highly active in thevisible-light and NIR- driven photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), a persistent chlorinatedorganic compound present in numerous pesticide formulations. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2016-79776-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/312483/EU/Enabling Science and Technology through European Electron Microscopy/ESTEEM 2 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/grantAgreement/EUR/ERC/HECTOR-267626 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E26 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 11.698 2017 CHEMISTRY, PHYSICAL 12 / 146 = 0.082 2017 Q1 T1 ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL 1 / 50 = 0.02 2017 Q1 T1 ENGINEERING, CHEMICAL 3 / 137 = 0.022 2017 Q1 T1 3.152 2017 Catalysis 2017 Q1 Process Chemistry and Technology 2017 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-4546-4111 Hueso, José L.
