Efficient Dye Degradation and Antibacterial Activity of Carbon Dots/Chitosan-Doped La₂O₃ Nanorods: In Silico Molecular Docking Analysis.

ABSTRACT: This work demonstrates the degradation of toxic RhB (rhodamine B) dye from polluted water in various pH environments. It assesses the antibacterial action of CDs (carbon dots)/CS (chitosan)-doped La₂O₃ (lanthanum oxide) NRs (nanorods). CS and CDs have been introduced as dopants to modify the characteristics of La₂O₃ to achieve efficient outcomes. The influence of doping on the structural, morphological, optical, and elemental properties of synthesized La₂O₃ NRs was investigated through a number of analytical techniques. The structural analysis of XRD revealed a hexagonal phase. The rod-like structure of pure La₂O₃ and reduction in the size of NRs upon doping were exhibited by TEM micrographs. From UV-vi
