dc.description.abstract | The study focused on converting tea bag waste into strong fluorescence carbon quantum dots (TBW-CQDs) for the detection of acrylamide in drinking water, antimicrobial activity, and photocatalytic degradation. The TBWCQDs exhibited blue luminescence and maximum absorbance at 287 nm under UV light and distinctive fluorescence emission and excitation wavelengths at 425 nm and 287 nm, respectively. TBW-CQDs revealed a particle size of 8.12 +/- 0.06 nm with a spherical morphology followed by an abundance of 59.29 % carbon and 39.82 % oxygen. For acrylamide extraction from water, the QuEChERS method was established, which exhibited a recovery rate of 97 to 99 %. The fluorescence-based sensor exhibited a low limit of detection of 0.35376 ppm, which was validated by HPLC-PDA (LOD 0.300688 ppm). TBW-CQDs degraded 90.62 % of indigo carmine and 93.19 % of methylene blue under bright sunlight. In conclusion, the fabricated TBW-CQDs provide a promising, cost-effective, and precise approach to acrylamide detection in drinking water. | |
