Abstract
Photocatalytic materials used for water purification have improved over the last decades, as their important parameters for performance, such as nanometer size, high absorption factor, slow recombination rate, high carrier concentration, p/n- junction and high carrier mobility were optimized. Carbon Quantum dots (GQD) and graphitic Carbon nitrites (g-C₃N₄) [1] are used in combination with metallic or semi- conducting nanoparticles such as Ag, Pd, TiO₂ [2], ZnO.
