Abstract

To meet the energy demands artificial photosynthesis is playing the most promising role these days. Using sunlight directly in a manner that can provide useful chemicals is a sustainable means of generating energy. Studies are going on in this context to make better and effective photocatalyst. In this paper, we study the synthesis of flower-like graphene quantum dots-based fuschin (GQDF) photocatalyst from lemon_, which is created by a green and sustainable process that is effective and environment friendly. The UV-visible spectra of prepared GQDF showed a high molar extinction coefficient. A flower-like GQDF photocatalyst has better catalytic efficiency for the selective creation and regeneration of the NAD(P)H cofactor. A newly designed flower-like GQDF photocatalyst is used as one of its most effective photocatalysts as they have several additional applications in the removal of CO₂ and aqueous contaminants like heavy metals.
