Turning Spent Coffee Grounds into Sustainable Precursors for the Fabrication of Carbon Dots
Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are known for containing many organic compounds of interest, including carbohydrates, lipids, phenolic compounds and proteins. Therefore, we investigated them as a potential source to obtain carbon dots (CDs) via a nanotechnology approach. Herein, a comparison was perform...
