A novel composite has recently been synthesized by in situ carbon dots (CDs) deposited functionalized chitosan (polypyrrole grafted chitosan) with improved photocatalytic activity toward degradation of toxic 2-chloro phenol (2-CP) into small compounds. The CDs has been prepared using waste watermelon seeds. Various advanced characterization techniques have been performed to confirm the development of copolymer and composite. In situ incorporation of CDs on the copolymer not only enhanced the photocatalytic rate but also make the composite system an efficient photocatalyst under solar light irradiation.
