Revolutionary Nanocomposite from Papaya Peel Waste: A Dual-Edged Sword Against Pollution and Infections

Caption

A recent study published in the Journal of Biological Resources and Bioproducts introduced carbon quantum dots (CDs) prepared from papaya peel waste, followed by their combination with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to prepare nano-composite materials with excellent photocatalytic and antibacterial activities. This study provides a sustainable solution to address environmental pollution and bacterial infections.
