In this work, carbon quantum dots (C-dots) was successfully synthesized by hydrothermal treatment using dried leaves as green precursor for metal sensing and photocatalytic degradation of MB dye. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was combined with C-dots to prepare C-dots/g-C3N4 composites with thre...
