urea and sugarcanejuice as starting materials. The chemical composition, morphological structure and optical properties of the composites and CDs were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques as well as transmission electron microscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results

Carbon dots (CDs) predominantly consist of amorphous carbon together with nanocrystalline regions of sp2-hybridized
been performed on the removal of the organic pollutant since foremost discovery by Prasannan and Imae [8]).
Collectively, considering all of the aforementioned problems, it provokes the idea that the combination of g-C3N4 with CDs produced from sugarcanejuice can be used for the photocatalytic
