New Photocatalytics Data Have Been Reported by Investigators at Lovely Professional University (Biomass Valorization of Liquid Whey Into Carbon Quantum Dots Via Hydrothermal Process for Food Pathogenic Bactericidal Activity and Photocatalytic...).

Researchers at Lovely Professional University in Punjab, India have developed a method to convert liquid whey, a waste product of the dairy industry, into carbon quantum dots (LW-CQDs) using a hydrothermal process. The LW-CQDs exhibited antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and demonstrated photocatalytic dye reduction activity. The study suggests that these LW-CQDs have potential applications in waste valorization and sustainable material development. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in Food Bioscience.
