Catalytic evaluation and in vitro bacterial inactivation of graphitic carbon nitride/carbon sphere doped bismuth oxide quantum dots with evidential in silico analysis.

ABSTRACT: Herein, Bi₂O₃ quantum dots (QDs) have been synthesized and doped with various concentrations of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and a fixed amount of carbon spheres (CS) using a co-precipitation technique. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of monoclinic structure along the space group P2₁/c and C2/c. Various functional groups and characteristic peaks of (Bi-O) were identified using FTIR spectra. QDs morphology of Bi₂O₃ showed agglomeration with higher amounts of g-C₃N₄ by TEM analysis. HR-TEM determined the variation in the d-spacing which increased with increasing dopants. These doping agents were employed to reduce the exciting recombination rate of Bi
